Martin had been called on stage to receive an award for his advocacy of LGBTQ rights and his philanthropy when he announced that "we are pregnant."

"My family's here. My husband Jwan, I love you," he started.

His third child, eight-month-old Lucia, was absent but not forgotten as Martin also acknowledged her and fondly described her as the "light of my life." The highlight of his speech, however, came when he disclosed that the family is expecting a new addition.

"And by the way, I have to announce that we are pregnant. We are waiting. I love big families," Martin said amidst a loud cheer from the audience.

He had, however, explained that it wasn't the right time saying that "there's a lot going on."

"It's a lot going on, so we're going to put things in order first and then we are going to get ready for many more kids," Martin said.

Going by his recent announcement, it appears that now is the right time. That is going to be one lucky baby!
