Josh Holloway can't reveal the sex of his next child because he'd be in the "doghouse" with his wife.

The former Lost star is expecting his second baby with spouse Yessica Kumala but is remaining tight-lipped on the gender so not to get in trouble with his wife. When quizzed on the sex of his baby, he told People magazine, "Yes, we know. It's going to be a human! I'm not allowed to tell or else I will be under the doghouse!"

Josh - who is appearing in new TV show Intelligence - is waiting for Yessica to go into labor any day now and he cannot wait to meet the new addition to their family. "My phone could ring at any time. It's now. It's happening now. It's pretty exciting. I'm prepared, but when it happens it's going to be a wild ride. I'm really feeling blessed and excited that that twist in life is coming," said the 44-year-old actor - who already has four-year-old daughter Java with Yessica.
