“I love you soooo much you changed my world, you make my heart so full and complete. The second I saw you I never felt a love I felt with you. I’m so thankful to have you and that you picked me as your mommy.”
The couple previously announced in April thatthey were expecting their first childexclusively to PEOPLE. “We’re both so excited about becoming parents, we spoke about having a life and kids when we first met, our goals, dreams, life we wanted & then it really happened,” the couple said.
Ball, who plays for the Greensboro Swarm of the NBA G League, said he was in Charlotte, North Carolina when he first learned the news and wanted to wait to tell others in person when he returned home to California.
“When I told my mom and pops they were shocked a little bit but I think more so excited than anything,” he said. “My mom was yelling and cheering in excitement. When I told my brothers [NBA stars LaMelo and Lonzo Ball] they were happy for me and also excited to become new uncles to my seed.”
At the time, Mudarris said her pregnancy has been mostly smooth sailing.
