The 34-year-old and wife Jessica Biel, 33, are expecting their first child within the next few weeks and he couldn’t be more excited.

At the weekend Justin was presented with the coveted Innovator gong at the iHeartRadio Music Awards and he paid a heartwarming tribute to Jessica during his acceptance speech.

As he teared up, Justin joked: “I said I wouldn’t cry.”

“You can’t have innovation without creation, so finally, I want to thank my best friend, my favourite collaborator – my wife, Jessica, at home, who’s watching.”

Melting hearts all over the world, Justin continued: “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.”

Earlier this year Justin announced Jessica’s pregnancy with a cute Instagram snap, flaunting his wife’s blossoming bump.
