Former NBA star, Chris Webber, and his wife, Erika, are finally parents of twins having gone eight years without a child.
The couple got married in 2009 but welcomed their double blessing on Sunday, June 4.
‘So thankful. After many years of trying and more than a few heartbreaks we were blessed with these little ones. Thank you Erika,’ Webber wrote after their birth.

Erika on her part wrote: ‘Grateful… seven years waiting for our family to grow, and we were double blessed.
‘Never underestimate the power of prayer, even when ‘they’ tell you it’s impossible…’
Chris Webber was drafted into the NBA in 1993 after leading a group of players known as the ‘Fab Five’ at the University of Michigan.
He played for the Golden State Warriors, Sacremento Kings, and hometown team, Detroit Pistons in his NBA career.
Webber retired in 2007 after being named an NBA All-Star five times – in 1997 and from 2000 to 2003.
