"Boy, oh, boy! Kris Allen and his wife Katy O&amp;apos;Connell will welcome their first son together this July, the season 8 American Idol champ revealed for the first time during an interview with Hollywire TV during the SXSW Festival March 16.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I am really excited,&amp;quot; the 27-year-old singer-songwriter said. &amp;quot;I&amp;apos;ve always wanted to be a dad.&amp;quot; Adding that he &amp;quot;just found out&amp;quot; his child&amp;apos;s gender, Allen said his high school sweetheart has &amp;quot;already started buying him clothes like mine. He&amp;apos;s already got some [fedoras].&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThe &amp;quot;Vision of Love&amp;quot; singer also shared an update on his wrist, which was &amp;quot;shattered&amp;quot; when he was involved in a head-on collision on New Year&amp;apos;s Day. &amp;quot;It&amp;apos;s getting better, but it&amp;apos;s slow,&amp;quot; Allen said. &amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m not quite playing [guitar] yet, but I&amp;apos;m getting there. It&amp;apos;s so frustrating, but it&amp;apos;s okay. I&amp;apos;ve actually started picking it up and messing around a little bit.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nAllen expects to make a full recovery while he lays down tracks for his upcoming third studio album. &amp;quot;I&amp;apos;ll make whatever feels right and just let people hear it,&amp;quot; he said of his new material."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
