Day time TV is in for a burst of more emotional outbursts, as we learn Elisabeth Hasselbeck, 31, conservative co-host of 'The View' and former football star, Tim Hasselbeck, 30, expect their third child.

Making the announcement on the Thursday morning show, the outspoken Republican said: 'We were thoroughly happy with the surprise of it. 'I didn't even know for two months'.

According to Hasselbeck, feeling sick at the presidential inauguration earlier this month, was when she found out the happy news. 'I was tired, I was nauseous, I thought I was worn out from the whole procedure. No. I was knocked up and didn't realize it.'

In May 2007 when she was pregnant, Hasselbeck got into a heated fight with Rosie O'Donnell, who left the show soon after.

With two children, 3-year-old daughter Grace and 1-year-old son Taylor, the Hasselbecks expect their third baby in August.
