Thicke's wife, Paula Patton, is due with their first child in May.
"My wife is good," he said, "I'm just trying to make her as comfortable as possible and hopefully nature will take care of the rest and give us a healthy baby."

Source: Kate and Jon Gosselin Finished Fighting Over the Kids
Originally posted 11/22/2009 03:00PM
With lingering anger and bitterness, the marriage of Jon and Kate Gosselin is all but dissolved after Saturday's all-day mediation hearing in Pennsylvania, a source close to Kate tells PEOPLE.
"This was the proceeding that essentially ended their marriage," says the source."Kate is just relieved that a very painful chapter of her life is nearly over, and she is looking forward to building a better, brighter future for herself and her kids."
During the hearing, Jon "didn't dispute Kate having primary custody of the kids," says the source, which came as no surprise to Kate.

Susan Boyle will celebrate the release of her first album in New York next week.
In her first visit to the Big Apple, Boyle, 48, will perform live on NBC's
Today show Monday morning, followed by sightseeing Tuesday – the day her album, I Dreamed A Dream, hits stores.
Holiday crowds in Manhattan's Rockefeller Center will be able to catch her singing three tracks from the album, which already has notched record-setting pre-orders on Amazon.com.
"The album itself is like a reflection on my whole life," Boyle says. "I've waited so long to become a professional singer and now it's become real."

Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz celebrated son Bronx Mowgli's first birthday with a SpongeBob-themed celebration at grandparents Joe and Tina Simpson's house in Encino, Calif.
About 30 family and friends, including aunt Jessica Simpson, arrived around 12:30 p.m. on Saturday for a bounce house, cake, the singing of "Happy Birthday" and a surprise appearance by the cartoon character.
Wentz, 30, told PEOPLE last week that Bronx "likes Bob and he likes guitar – which he calls 'itar,' so we're going to have a SpongeBob party for him."

Jon & Kate's Divorce Could Be Finalized by Year's End
Originally posted 11/21/2009 09:35PM
Jon Gosselin showed up for a daylong divorce arbitration hearing Saturday with a bouquet of long-stemmed red roses for Kate – only to have her turn them down and later leave the courthouse empty-handed.
But while Jon wasn't able to say it with flowers, the former couple were able to express themselves well in other ways, leading to a "successful and productive" session, his lawyer Mark Heller tells PEOPLE.
"This has been called the real-life War of the Roses," says Heller, referring to the 1989 black comedy in which Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner played bitterly battling spouses, "and he brought that as a peace offering to break the ice and try to bring the war to an end."
Things went so well for the Jon & Kate Plus 8 stars that the arbitration's scheduled second day, planned for Monday, is no longer necessary. The arbitrator is expected to rule in a month, and Heller says "it's possible" the contentious divorce could be finalized by the end of the year.
