The soon-to-be first-time dad opened up about his excitement for fatherhood on the Jennifer Hudson Show. While chatting with daytime host Jennifer Hudson, Hough revealed that he sometimes forgets about the big milestone and is reminded of his excitement all over again.
“Sometimes I like I forget, right? I’m doing things, and I just glance over there and I see her bump, [and] I’m like, ‘Whoa.’ I’m like, ‘I’m gonna be a dad,’ ” he told Hudson, 44. “And, I cannot wait. I cannot wait.”
Hough went on to talk about the first time he felt the baby kick, adding that he gets “emotional just thinking about it.”
“I felt the baby kick for the first time, and it was that feeling that everybody talks about and describes, where all of a sudden everything became vivid and different,” he explained. “And I’m like, ‘Whoa, I’m going to be something that I’ve never [been.] I’m going to feel something I’ve never experienced before yet.’ And, I just can’t wait. I can’t wait.”
