Kevin Richardson and wife Kristin expecting a boy

We hear that former Backstreet Boy Kevin Richardson, 35, and his wife Kristin are expecting their first child. Rumors have been flying in the Backstreet fan community for months since a translated interview from Japan seemed to announce a pregnancy.

Apparently, Brian Littrell confirmed the news last evening in Knoxville, TN during a stop on the ‘Glory Revealed’ tour which he is a part of, saying that his cousin’s wife is expecting a baby boy at the end of June or beginning of July.

I’m very happy for Kevin and Kristin, they’d been trying for a baby for so long!

Awww…this is awesome. June 17th will be there 7th wedding anniversary. Lucky number seven! That’s so cool that the baby will be born around the time to help them celebrate. Kevin is my fave, this is so wonderful for both of them. Kristin is gorgeous and I hope we get to see some pics of her pregnant. She glows all the time. I bet she’s radiant right now. I wish them all the best luck in the world. I wonder what they’ll name him. My middle name is Kayleigh, so I plan to name my son Kayden. That’d be cool..but hey…just a suggestion, lol.

Congratulations to Kevin and Kristin!I`m so Happy they`re finally having a baby! And it`s so cool its a baby boy! A little boy who surely gonna look like his father..
I we been waiting for this day since Brian had his son Baylee 4 years ago. I thought Kevin would have a baby shortly after..
the 2 backstreet baby and baylees secound cousin.. I`m sure the two little boys gonna play alot together and be best friends later on. And I know Kevin willmake the greatest father to that baby. Hope he anounces it when the babys born in only 2 months time.Kristin must be almost 7 months pregnant by now, and still not a pregnant belly pic. I`m looking so much forward to see the first pics of Kevins little boy..
I only wonder why cousin Brian announces the baby news, why not kevin himself? Maybe he wants some peace and quiet after the babys born? Anyway the backstreet boys got a new backstreet baby to play uncles for now and maybe baylee littrell gets a baby sibling someday too?

@ Elena: knowing Kevin, I wouldn’t be surprised if he called the baby Jerald, after his dad.

@ Tanya: Kevin always was the most discreet one, so I’m not surprised he didn’t officially announce the pregnancy. Beside, he and Kristin had been trying for that baby for so long, I’d understand they’d want this long-awaited pregnancy to be something very personal.

About bloody time.
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!

- Bianca on April 21st, 2007

I truly hope this rumor is true. This has been floating around for months now, but Kevin hasn’t said anything yet so I am cautiously praying for confirmation from him and his wife. If it’s true, then I am very happy for them and wish them a healthy, happy baby!
