Bubba Wallace is preparing to become a father and he and his wife, Amanda Carter, are expecting their first child. At Dale Jr.’s dismissal, the 30-year-old NASCAR driver spoke about how he feels as he approaches fatherhood.
“I’ve been very calm and composed and collected about it. Amanda, he going through a lot of ups and downs and just the excitement of motherhood for her, feeling the baby move,” Wallace said.
“She loves it, thinks it’s the coolest thing ever. We are five weeks pregnant and it is crazy to think that she is starting to feel pain and pressure in certain areas. Now he’s worried and thinks, “Oh my God, if I made a wrong move, will the baby come now?”
He thinks a lot about everything.” He asked me a few weeks ago: “Are you excited? I said, “Look, there’s a lot going on right now, I’m definitely going to be excited when the little guy is here.” “Don’t get me wrong, I’m excited to be a dad, but it takes a lot to get excited. We both love the process. It’s strictly on the stomach. That’s all. He didn’t gain weight anywhere. She’s crazy and said it might change in the last two weeks. It’s been great watching her grow and she’s enjoying the whole process.
Wallace and Carter announced the pregnancy in April and the baby is due in October. The couple got engaged in 2021 and married on December 31, 2022 in North Carolina. In an interview with PEOPLE, Carter talked about the first time she met Wallace when she was in high school. “We were in high school Spanish class and we were sitting next to each other,” Carter recalls. “I don’t remember our first date, but he was always trying to cheat. We were friends. There were three or four of us who did all the projects together and he always tried to cheat in my exams because he was much smarter than him!”
Wallace added: “He wasn’t really good at Spanish and he was trying to take the easy way out and he wasn’t moving. She didn’t move. »As Wallace prepares to become a father, he will look to earn a spot in the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs on Sunday when he races in the Southern 500 at Darlington.
