Congrats to Tisha Campell-Martin and her hubby Duane Martine who have announced they are expecting their second child! We hear Tisha is two month’s preggers. The couple already have an eight-year-old son, Xen. “She just found out and is so excited!” her best friend and co-star on “Martin”, Tichina Arnold tells US Weekly. “She hopes to have a girl this time, and has said she would love to name her Derek. She has been wanting a girl for almost six years. Everybody is so excited!”. Tisha, 40, and her husband have been married for 12 years.

Finally, Tisha and Duane surface. I was starting to wonder if the viscious rumors were true! Well on Essence Magazine’s website Tisha and Duane Martin make it their business to dispel the horrible rumors alleging Duane left Tisha to pursue a relationship with Will Smith.  LOL! The couple has been married for 11 YEARS, known eachother for 17 YEARS, and the couple says they will strive to continue to stay together for years to come. Awwww. Duane and Tisha also talk about their son’s Autism. Check out some excerpts from the interview with Essence here:

Essence.com: For the past month, the blogosphere has been filled with rumors about the future of your marriage. How are you holding up?
D.M.: Mark Twain said it best: “A lie can travel halfway round the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.” So I’m not going to defend myself against a gay rumor when I’m trying to defend my son against autism. We would look really stupid trying to take our focus off autism, which affects all of us, to fight a gay rumor. The reason we are talking today is because what we will defend is our 17-year relationship. Nobody is touching that. So whoever wants to rumble, let’s rumble.
T.M.: (Laughs) My baby’s smart! My baby daddy’s smart. My baby daddy reads.

Essence.com: So for the record, are you getting a divorce?

T.M.: Hell no!
D.M.: Listen, let me tell you something. I will chew her ass up and swallow it before I let somebody else have her.
T.M.: (laughs) Jeffrey Dahmer-style!
