As any parent will remember, the lead-up to your child's arrival is an incredibly emotional time.

Form excitement and nerves to apprehension and joy, awaiting the moment you finally meet your little one is far from plain sailing.

Experiencing this for the first time is Diana Ross' son. Evan, who is due to become a dad in the not-too-distant future!

Having wed singer Ashlee Simpson in August 2014, the actor, who starred in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay-Part 1, is now preparing for the next chapter in their lives.

Chatting openly about the lead-up to his child's delivery in the coming weeks, Evan said: "Of course there's nerves, but there's more excitement."
 


Evan, who will be welcoming a baby daughter into the life he shares with Ashlee and her son Bronx, relishes the idea of becoming a dad.

Already discussing the prospect of giving his first child a group of siblings, Evan revealed: "I grew up around a lot of siblings, and I feel like there's something so incredible about knowing that you have brothers and sisters to fall back on and having them to love you, so I love the idea of a big family."

The actor admits he hasn't always been confident in his parenting skills and reveals he's turned to his world-famous mum for advice.

Opening up about the exchange that took place between himself and the Supremes singer, Evan said his mum offered him some sound advice.
 


Explaining that he intends to take her at her word, the 26-year-old said: "Just follow your gut. Do what you think is right. There's no right way other than the way you feel like you should do it, and you'll figure it out along the way."

The young man is already displaying a fierce protective streak when it comes to his little girl, declaring: "Trust me, I'm going to do the best that I can at whatever I do, especially when it comes to my daughter."

It sounds like this is one dad-to-be who's ready for anything!
