The Branson-based entertainer and beloved star of stage and screen says he couldn’t be happier about expanding his family once again.

In true Yakov fashion, he’s handling fatherhood later in life with humor and heart. “At my age, most people are planning for retirement. Me? I’m buying diapers. Not for me — but for our future child. Yes, my wife and I are having a baby!” he told PEOPLE.

“I have two grown children already, but they haven’t had kids yet. So we figured, we’d just go ahead and make our own grandchild,” he jokes, adding, “We’ll skip a generation!” – Yakov Smirnoff (from PEOPLE Magazine article)
