Tyrese Gibson set to become a dad again

Tyrese Gibson is set to become a father again just months after winning a bitter custody battle with his ex.

The Fast & Furious star’s wife Samantha is pregnant and Gibson shared the news in a fake movie trailer, which he narrated and posted online on Wednesday (04Apr18).

Showing off the ultrasound photo in one clip, Tyrese says, “There was no greater reaction than her mum’s reaction. Samantha is her only daughter, and this has been prayers for years and years, for her to get married and find the right one and start a family.”

The baby is due in September (18) and Samantha admits she been honing her mothering skills on her stepdaughter Shayla, adding the 10-year-old at the center of Tyrese’s custody battle last year (17) has been “asking for siblings since I’ve known her”.

And Tyrese’s wife insists the timing of her pregnancy could not have been more perfect – now all the drama from the custody battle is over.

“We were able to conceive at the right time, I believe,” Samantha says, according to People.com. “There was a lot that happened last year… and so to have the opportunity to… really start a new chapter in the way that has happened, I just look to God and I’m like, ‘Wow, I can’t believe that you would plan it this way and you do it so perfectly’.”

The couple plans to have the baby in Los Angeles but raise her at the family home in Georgia, where Tyrese and Samantha tied the knot on Valentine’s Day last year (17).

The wedding came just ahead of allegations from his ex Norma surrounding his methods of disciplining their daughter. She claimed he smacked her so severely she couldn’t sit down. During their legal showdown, Tyrese was temporarily banned from spending time with his kid.

Meanwhile, the baby news emerges five months after Tyrese confessed he was lying about expecting a baby with Samantha in early November, insisting the psychiatric medication he had been prescribed was completely to blame.

The Fate of the Furious star announced he was starting a family during one of his now-infamous rants on social media, which was uploaded as he battled his ex-wife for joint custody of Shayla.

In the Facebook post, he called on his famous friends to support an event Samantha was organising for their youth empowerment charity, joking, “So that I can stay married… my WIFE, who is now pregnant, is the new President of The Love Circle Foundation could really use some help (sic)…”

Hours later, Tyrese took to Instagram and claimed his odd behavior in recent weeks had been the result of suffering an “adverse effect” to new medication he had been prescribed for an unspecified mental health disorder. He also alleged he had since ditched the drugs.

“To clear the air cause I’m an open book and got nothing to hide. My wife is NOT pregnant and never was (those meds had me on one)… (sic),” he wrote.
