Danny Gokey and Wife Expecting First Baby in January
And baby makes three! Danny Gokey and his new bride, Leyicet, have announced they are expecting their first child together in the first part of the coming new year. The Gokeys made the baby news public over the weekend through the singer’s official Facebook page.
“I’m happy to announce that my wife Leyicet Gokey and I are having a baby!! Gokey wrote. “She a little over 3 months pregnant & due in January!!! We’re so excited!!”
The baby will arrive in the same month that the pair will celebrate their one-year anniversary as a married couple. The two said “I do” on Jan. 29, 2012. The wedding was the second for Gokey, who lost his first wife, Sophia, back in 2008 after she passed away following a routine surgery for congenital heart disease.
The little Gokey will be the first child for both the singer and his wife. Congrats to the parents-to-be!
