"We're so excited. We're so great. We can't wait to welcome our little baby girl number two," he told the magazine.

Savchenko and Samodanova, a judge on Dancing with the Stars Russia, are already parents to 6-year-old daughter Olivia. Samodanova is five months pregnant with a baby girl due Aug. 2.

"We were planning. We wanted to have another child. It's the time," Savchenko said.

"Olivia is already six, so she can help a little. She wanted to have a little sister, so we were like, 'That's a great chance. That's a great opportunity for us.' We're in L.A. now settled and everything's great, so it's fun," he added.

Savchenko had announced last week in an interview with E! News that he and Samodanova are expecting again. Samodanova later confirmed in an Instagram post that she's pregnant with another daughter.
