Tony Parker And Fiancée Axelle Francine Expecting First Child

Tony Parker announced on Twitter Thursday that he and fiancée Axelle Francine are expecting their first child together.

Given the announcement of the baby's gender, Francine is at least five months along in her pregnancy.

Parker, 31, reportedly began dating the French reporter two years ago after the two of them were coming out of serious relationships. Francine had just come out of a 10-year relationship and Parker had just ended his marriage to actress Eva Longoria amidst rumors that he had cheated with teammate Brent Barry's wife Erin. Since their divorce, Longoria has dated Ernesto Arguello, Eduardo Cruz, and Mark Sanchez. Parker has only dated Francine, who he met in New York through a mutual friend.

Parker informally announced his engagement to Francine during a Twitter livechat in June 2013.

Parker is currently a point guard for the San Antonio Spurs. He has also dabbled in music, having released a French hip-hop album, and acting. Francine tends to stay out of the spotlight. This will be Parker's second marriage and first child.
