May 16 (UPI) -- Free agent cornerback Antonio Cromartie is getting a bigger family, after his wife announced Monday that the couple are expecting their 14th child.

Cromartie will have his sixth child with Terricka Cromartie, who is six months and 25 weeks pregnant. The couple have three girls and two boys together. They don't know the gender of the new baby.

"In the up an coming CROMARTIE DRAFT of 2017, with the 6th OverAll Pick. Will the Cromartie's Draft a Boy or a Girl. J6 coming soon," Terricka Cromartie wrote on social media.

In 2010, Cromartie famously couldn't name all of his children in an episode of HBO's Hard Knocks.

Cromartie has a total of 13 children. His wife has another child from a previous relationship.

Last year, the New York Post estimated that Cromartie pays about $336,000 annually in child support. He had a vasectomy a few years ago.

"I didn't even tell Antonio right away because I didn't think it was possible," Terricka Cromartie told Us Weekly. "I was going back and forth in my head how it could even happen. In my head we were good to go, we were having free sex! I just really thought that his procedure was the best protection you could have at this point."
