What a year it’s been for J.R. Martinez!
The Iraq War veteran won season 13 of Dancing with the Stars, was invited to the Pentagon to address the military, and recently named the Grand Marshal of the 2012 Rose Parade.
If all that were not amazing enough, J.R. recently learned that he will soon be a first-time father as well!
According to People, Martinez and longtime girlfriend, Diana Gonzalez-Jones, are expecting their first child to be born this coming spring.
“We found out just last week it’s a girl and we are over the moon,” Martinez revealed to the mag. “Diana has a little baby bump now and it’s the cutest thing ever. With the holidays coming up, this is the biggest and best gift we could get.”
“2011 has been full of a lot of surprises and opportunities and ultimately, a lot of blessings,” Martinez added. “Diana and I were just asking ourselves, ‘How is 2012 going to top 2011?’ Well, we have our answer!”
