"And by the way, I have to announce that we are pregnant. We are waiting. I love big families," Martin said amidst a loud cheer from the audience.

He had, however, explained that it wasn't the right time saying that "there's a lot going on."

"It's a lot going on, so we're going to put things in order first and then we are going to get ready for many more kids," Martin said.
