Update: Although a recent comment made it sound as though they’d be welcoming a son, Niki and Burney tell Entertainment Tonight that they’re expecting a girl. “I’m ready for a baby already; I want to meet my baby,” the model shares with the show.

Originally posted October 30th: Niki Taylor is pregnant with her third child — and first with husband Burney Lamar – OK! has confirmed. The 33-year-old supermodel, who said last year that she was ready to try for another baby, is already mom to identical twins Jake and Hunter, 13, with ex-husband Matt Martinez. Baby-on-the-way is due in early March. She tells PEOPLE,

“Burney and I are very excited with this stage of our lives. We’re thrilled.”

Niki and Burney, a driver in the NASCAR series, were married in December 2006.

Oh, how exciting! Congrats to them! She has been through so much – her sister’s death, young motherhood, divorce, a terrible car accident with a long recovery… I’m so glad to see happy and expecting! PS – she looks beautiful!

I’m so happy for Niki! She has had a rough time, and I’m really glad she was able to conceive after the car accident & numerous abdominal surgeries. I’m hoping for a GIRL!

I don’t think Jake and Hunter are Identical, but regardless congrats to Nikki and Burney

- Ivey on October 30th, 2008

congrats! is it just me or does she look like a blonde, lighter-skinned version of eva mendes?

- aly on October 30th, 2008

Ivey, I believe her boys are identical, actually.

I am so happy for Niki and her husband! What a gift, especially after all she has been through and thinking she would never be able to have children again.

Here’s a picture of the boys from ’06:

Awww yay! Im so excited for them. I grew up in the same neighborhood as her & its so great to see positive things happening for her & her family they deserve it more than anyone

- kate on October 30th, 2008

Congratulations to them both! I’m sure it’s very excitied, but I little scary as she hasn’t had a baby for 13 years! In any case, congrats and I hope all goes well.

- brooklyn on October 30th, 2008

i didn’t realize she had her older boys at 20. she seemed so old to me at the time…

- meghan on October 30th, 2008

Congrats to her, she is so lucky to be able to have another baby after her accident.

- brooke on October 30th, 2008

How wonderful! I know Niki has been trying to have another baby for a while, so this is great news. It would be nice if she had a little girl since she has two boys, but another boy would be nice too.

- SAR on October 30th, 2008

congrats to her! She must be about 4 months along if she’s due in early March.

I agree, yes, it would be nice if she had a girl (since she has 2 boys) but I think with what she’s been through, a healthy baby would just be nice.

- Mia on October 31st, 2008

I had no idea that she was only 3 years older than me! I remember seeing her on the cover of some fashion magazine when her boys were babies. I can’t believe it’s been 13 years!
Congrats to her and her family!

- Lorus on October 31st, 2008

Congratulations! I had wondered if she would have more children.

- Brandi on October 31st, 2008

I am very happy for Niki. She has dealt with so much over the last ten years. That car accident didn’t take her life or her joy away from her.

Congrats to Niki and her family!

- Amillia Henderson on October 31st, 2008

I feel really old! I remember her as a successful model before she had her twins. Congrats to her family.

- Elaine on November 2nd, 2008

How exciting!!! I bet she will name the baby after her late sister.

- HeatherR on January 14th, 2009

Good for her ! I bet she will be beautiful and can’t wait for the name ;o)

- Caroline on January 14th, 2009

Congratulation to Niki and her husband!!! I’m so happy for her!!! With everything that she had to deal with at such a very young age, it’s nice to see her have her happy ending!!! I wonder if they will name the baby after her sister. =)

- jashmom on January 14th, 2009

Jake and Hunter are identical twins. How thrilling to welcome a baby girl. I just read an article where she said she will have the baby naturally – there are steel plates in her where the epidural would go (from the accident). Also, C-section could be risky due to the scar tissue from the accident.

- marlee on January 14th, 2009

Yeah for her. 2 boys, now a girl. I hope she has a very easy delivery.

- brie on January 14th, 2009

Congrats! A girl after 2 boys, that’s great. Although, I thought I read somewhere that she was having another boy? Anyways, I bet she’ll be adorable.

- Mia on January 14th, 2009

I was shoe shopping at the mall a few weeks back and looked up to notice Niki Taylor (and one of her sons) standing right in front of me. She was there the entire time that I was. She had no makeup on and was beautiful.

- erica on January 14th, 2009

I have always loved Niki and am so glad she is having a girl. I will not be surprised if her daughter’s name pays tribute in some way to her late sister, Krissy.

- amy on January 14th, 2009

I wonder if she will honor her younger sister who passed away with the baby’s name?

- bren on January 14th, 2009

So happy to hear this, my daughter went to high school with Niki and she was so beautiful and nice.

Good luck to her!

- Linda on January 14th, 2009

That’s lovely news. I’ve long wondered that if the baby is a girl, she’ll name it after her late younger sister Kristen, aka Krissy.

- SAR on January 14th, 2009

I’ll bet that Baby Girl Lamar will have three bodyguards when she grows up (her daddy and brothers).

- Paige on January 14th, 2009

That is such wonderful news for them. After surviving a near-fatal car accident and the untimely death of her sister, it is so nice to see her find that kind of happiness.
