Robin Thicke has revealed the sex of the baby he’s expecting with pregnant wife, actress Paula Patton: the high school sweetheart is expecting a boy.

“Teaching him how to respect a woman. Teaching him music. Getting to play him Biggie Smalls at some age, we’ll experience that together,” the 32-year-old crooner tells Essence.com of some of the life lessons he hopes to impart to his son. “That’s the beauty of having a child.”

Robin does have some fears about being a first-time parent.

“I’m afraid of not being patient enough, but most of the time that’s when I’m scared or worried about the future,” Thicke says. “I want to work on that. But my biggest fear is being able to be there, because I don’t know if kids ever think their parents were there enough.”
