Bobby Brown to become dad again?

Bobby Brown is reportedly set to become a father again.

The 47-year-old singer is said to be expecting his third child with his wife Alicia Etheredge, whom he married in 2012, just seven months after they welcomed their daughter Bohdi into the world, according to the New York Daily News newspaper.

This will be the seventh time Bobby has become a father as he also has Cassius, six, with Alicia, LaPrincia, 25, Bobby. Jr, 23, from his relationship with Kim Ward, son Landon, 29, from his fling with Melika Payne, and late daughter Bobbi Kristina from his marriage with fallen star Whitney Houston.

But, although Bobby is no doubt thrilled about his happy news, the 'My Prerogative' hitmaker has been having a rough time recently as he's still struggling to get over the sudden and tragic death of his daughter Bobbi Kristina.

A source said earlier this month: "This has been a difficult year [for Bobby]. When a person goes through something like this it makes you look around and think, 'What the hell is going on?' When you bury your child, it's just really hard - it's not how it's supposed to go. Under the circumstances, he is doing as good as can be expected."

Bobbi Kristina passed away last July, aged just 22, following six months in a coma at a hospital in Georgia.

The brunette beauty's cause of death still remains a mystery but her final months stemmed from being found unconscious in a bath tub at her home in Atlanta in January 2015.
