Yao Ming and Ye Li to Become Parents

It's been reported that Chinese basketball player, Yao Ming, 29, and his wife also a basketball player, Ye Li are expecting a baby in July.

The happy news was revealed by Ye's former teammate on China's women's basketball team, Miao Lijie, when she accidentally blurted that a "pregnant woman deserves less public activities," when asked on Ye Li's whereabouts.

The crazy tall couple (Yao is 7 foot-6 inches and Ye is 6 foot-2) were wed in a lavish ceremony last year in August. This will be their first child.
