The 'One Show' co-host revealed on the programme that his significant other - who he shares daughters Geneva, eight, and Olivia, four, with - is expecting a baby boy.
Speaking on the show, his co-host Alex Jones said: "There's some other good news, can we share?"
Jermaine - who also has 14-year-old daughter Sancha from a previous relationship - replied: "Of course ... yes, I have a baby on the way.
"And it's a boy. Very excited in our house."
However, Olivia hasn't "taken it that well" that she is to have a new sibling soon.
The former footballer explained: "The four year old hasn't taken it that well to be honest with you."
The 38-year-old star has also had some good professional news of late, after it was confirmed he and Ronan Keating have become permanent co-presenters on 'The One Show'.
He said: "I've absolutely loved being a part of 'The One Show'.
"Alex, the team and the viewers have made me feel so welcome and we’ve had a lot of fun already - I’m really looking forward to joining as a full-time host alongside Ronan."
Alex - who has been a permanent member of the BBC's 'The One Show' team since 2010 - added: "Presenting 'The One Show' is such a special privilege, especially in the last year - I am proud of the role we’ve played in keeping the nation company through these difficult times.
"We’re so lucky to have an amazing family of talent on 'The One Show' and I’ve really loved getting to know Jermaine and Ronan on the sofa, it’s so exciting that they will be my co-hosts all year round."
