Four-time NASCAR cup series winner Jeff Gordon will soon be buying strollers instead of cars. He and his wife Ingrid Vandebosch are expecting their first child this summer. The couple met through mutual friends in the summer of 2002, worked together in the 2004 move Taxi, and started dating in the winter of 2005.

The couple announced their engagement on June 24 at California's Infineon Raceway. They tied the knot on November 7.

On his website, Gordon, 35, wrote, "We're obviously very excited. Christmas came early for us this year. This is a very special gift for us – one that we're both looking forward to. The due date is early July, and Ingrid and I can't wait to be parents. We've known for a little while, but we couldn't wait any longer to share the good news with our friends and fans." Congratulations!
