Dancehall artiste Wayne Marshall and his wife, singer Tami Chynn are expecting an exciting addition to their family.

In a late night message to his fans on the social networking site Twitter, Marshall said "@tamichynn & I are so happy to announce that we will be welcoming our first child later this year. Exciting times ahead. Love".

Sources close to the couple said both Chynn and Marshall are "overjoyed" about the pregnancy and are "looking forward to what's to come".

Though this is Chynn's first child, it is Marshall's second, he has a son, Giomar.

It was in a May 2009 interview with The STAR that Chynn first spoke openly about her blossoming relationship with Wayne Marshall. Later that year, the couple tied the knot at a private wedding ceremony, allowing only close family and friends to attend.

The two have been called a 'power couple', as in addition to Chynn's success, Marshall too has his own accomplishments in the entertainment arena. He quickly gained traction as his unique lyrical flow impressed dancehall lovers and he remains a sure-fire hit-making machine today.
