Justin Timberlake was presented with the Innovator Award during Sunday night's iHeart Music Awards ceremony. The Sexy Back singer accepted the award by giving a long speech that included quotes, pre-recorded clips and inspiring advice for young people. However, Justin got sappy when it came to thanking his wife of nearly three years, Jessica Biel, who is currently pregnant with the couple's first child. Justin, who has remained tight-lipped regarding the pregnancy, took the chance to acknowledge how excited he is to become a first-time dad.
“You can't have innovation without creation, so finally, I want to thank my best friend, my favorite collaborator -- my wife, Jessica, who's at home watching,” Justin said at the end of his speech. “Honey, I can't wait to see our greatest creation yet."

"Don't worry, Daddy's heading home right now to innovate by learning how to change a poopy diaper and get my swaddle on,” he joked.
Jessica is due to give birth any day, according to multiple media sources. The actress has been seen around Los Angeles with a large baby bump, but has not confirmed her due date publicly. Jessica and Justin didn't actually confirm Jessica's pregnancy until January, even though rumors that Jess was pregnant had been swirling for months.

To celebrate his 34th birthday, Justin confirmed the pregnancy by posting a photo to his Instagram account showing him kissing his wife's bare baby bump.
"Thank you EVERYONE for the Bday wishes!," he wrote in the photo's caption. "This year, I'm getting the GREATEST GIFT EVER. CAN'T WAIT. #BoyOrGirl #YouNeverKnow #WeDontEvenKnow #WeAreTakingBets"

Before Jess and Justin confirmed their big news, Justin's friend and former NSYNC band mate Joey Fatone told People that he thinks Justin will make a great dad.
"He's always been great with kids in general," Joey told the magazine in December. "He's going to be great. I think he'll be very hands-on."
