Laila Ali Announcement: 'I'm Pregnant Again!'

In a video message recorded for PEOPLE, Muhammad Ali's daughter Laila has announced she is pregnant. The 32-year-old has been seen in recent years competing on 'Dancing With the Stars' and hosting 'American Gladiator.'

"I am pregnant again!" says an ecstatic Ali. "I'm three months, and I'm so excited, my family is excited. I'm hoping it's a girl this time."

Her child is due in April 2011. It's baby number two for Ali and her husband since 2007, Curtis Conway, 39. Their son Curtis Jr., who Laila calls CJ, is now 2 years old.

Laila says her legendary boxer father is "excellent" as a grandfather. "He loves kids. He just loves to kiss 'em to death." She guesstimates her new baby will be her father's 13th grandchild. See the video announcement after the jump!

"I've noticed I'm putting on weight faster this time, I started showing sooner," Ali says. "Staying fit is a challenge, even if you are a former world-class athlete such as myself, because you just don't have the energy that you used to have. Also, I have to hold myself back because I want to work harder than I'm able to."

The pregnancy is hitting Laila in the cravings department, but that's nothing new, she says. "I have cravings all the time, even when I'm not pregnan. I made a strawberry shortcake last night. It was great."

Still, she says pregnancy doesn't mean eating anything and everything. "You have to remember you're going to be stuck with a lot of that weight afterwards that you need to try to get off. So I don't recommend 'grubbing.' "
