"They are due in July, but with identical twins you typically have to
deliver a month early," country singer Wright, 42, who is carrying the
twins, explained. "So, we're anticipating that I will be as big as a . .

Wright married Blitzer, 31, the Director of Marketing at Sony Music
Entertainment, in August 2011. "When gay couples have babies it's
logistically a little different than when straight people have babies as
we all know," Wright, who came out as gay to the public in 2010,
explained to Bragman. And Blitzer-Wright added that it's been an
"amazing learning experience."
