The 31-year-old singer took to Instagram to share her happy news with her followers earlier this week, posting a black-and-white photo of Wilson cradling her baby belly.
 
"On this special Birthday I received an abundance of love from friends and family ... and I'm excited to finally share one of the Greatest Gifts of All that God could give..." she wrote, adding emojis that included a baby and a bottle.
 
Wilson later posted the same photo alongside the caption, "The Greatest Blessing of All. Forever Grateful. #BabyWilsonOnTheWay."
 
The couple, who married three months ago, made headlines after publicly vowing to build a relationship "Jesus' way."
 
In July, Wilson took to the stage at The Rock Church in San Diego, California and revealed that God told him to lead his now-wife in abstaining from sexual activity until marriage.
 
"I'll never forget: She was on tour, she was traveling, and I was looking at her in the mirror," Wilson said. "I was sitting in the dressing room, and she was getting ready to go, about 15 minutes before she went on stage. And she was sitting there, and God spoke to me and said, 'I need you to lead her.' And I was like, 'Really? Right now?'"
 
According to Wilson, God told him "to lead her." "So I told her right then and there, what would you do if we took all that extra stuff off the table and just did it Jesus' way?"
 
He continued, "I said to her, and she completely agreed: 'Could we love each other without that?' If you can really love somebody without that, then you can really love somebody."
 
While Wilson's commitment to purity has been mocked by many in the secular media, the NFL star says he doesn't regret sharing so much of his personal life with the world and last year talked with ESPN about their relationship: "She's everything you could ever want, honestly..."
