Boxing champ-turned-game show host Laila Ali recently announced that she and her husband, former NFL player Curtis Conway, are expecting their first child together.

On her Web site, Ali told fans that she and her hubby were "very excited" about the news and that they "could hardly wait until this September" when the child is due.

Ali, daughter of boxing legend Muhammad Ali, mentioned that the pregnancy is going very well. The co-host of NBC's "American Gladiators" also said that she still plans to host the upcoming season of show as well as stay active until the end of her pregnancy.

Ali, 30, and Conway, 37, an ex-wide receiver who retired from football in 2004, became husband and wife last July. The newest addition to the family will be Ali's first and Conway's fourth child. He is the father of twin sons, Kelton and Cameron, 13, and a daughter, Leilani, 9, from a previous relationship.
