Larry King And Baby Talk

Larry King will have some news besides politics to chatter about with his talk show guests: fatherhood.

The 64-year-old host of CNN's Larry King Live and his wife, Shawn Southwick King, are expecting a baby this spring, The Washington Post reports.

"They are feeling blessed and very excited," said King's executive producer, Wendy Walker Whitworth.

Earlier this month, King denied his 38-year-old wife was pregnant, saying: "I wish she were pregnant. I am keeping my fingers crossed. She's a great kid."

King and his wife married last September in a Los Angeles hospital room, where he was being treated for heart troubles.

The child will be her second and his fourth.
