Good news for Reggie Bush ... the NFL star's wife just revealed she's pregnant with their 3rd kid!

Lilit Bush broke the news on social media in a happy birthday post to Reggie ... complete with a bottle emoji to signify the bun in the oven.

Le'Veon Bell says he is working with the Steelers on a long-term deal ... and tells TMZ Sports he's confident something the two sides can work something out before the deadline.

Bell appeared on the "TMZ Sports" TV show on FS1 this week and admitted he has mixed feelings about being hit with the franchise tag ... but says he's hopeful he can strike a deal with his longtime team.

"We still going to work towards it," Bell said ... "Me and the Steelers want to work together. We're going to work towards a long-term deal leading up to the deadline (July 15th)."

"If it doesn't get done, it doesn't get done ... but I definitely think something will work and we'll see what happens."

Ronda Rousey chalked up a huge W on the set of "Blindspot" ... with the star of the show saying she crushed her guest role during filming this week and he's lobbying producers to BRING HER BACK!

NBA star Chandler Parsons has a big fan in Bella Thorne ... they're not only going to see movies together, they also shared a kiss in Mexico.

Forget Conor McGregor ... Floyd Mayweather could have a superfight with a BOXER -- because undefeated champ Danny Garcia says he wants a piece of Money May after he beats Keith Thurman this weekend.

Garcia -- the reigning WBC welterweight champion -- is 33-0 and says beating the also undefeated Thurman on Saturday night would help him get to the next level of big money fights.

He joined the guys on the "TMZ Sports" TV show (airs Thursday on FS1) and explained why he wants either Floyd or Manny Pacquiao next ... and says he's 100% confident he can beat 'em BOTH.

Would you recognize NFL superstar Adrian Peterson if he was walking down the street?

How about if you were a reporter interviewing him for a story about road rage?

That's the exact situation FOX 26's John Donnelly was in during a report from Houston ... and when he finally realized the giant, ripped dude answering his questions was THE Adrian Peterson, things get hilariously awkward.

Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins will soon make the NBA their bitches ... that's according to Stephen Jackson, who says it's just a matter of time before the duo takes over.

We got Jackson out at LAX, and asked him if the big deal that sent Cousins to New Orleans will end up paying off for the Pelicans ... 'cause right now, the guys are 1-3 since the trade.

Jackson has a message for the Crescent city ... RELAX ... saying Bougie & The 'Brow are gonna be the league's new David Robinson & Tim Duncan once they figure things out.

U.S. Bank Stadium is NOT the bird death trap it's being made out to be ... so says a rep for the place where the Minnesota Vikings play ... who claims it's IMPOSSIBLE to determine how dangerous the place is just yet.

You may have seen the report from the Audubon Chapter of Minneapolis which says birds are fatally crashing into the stadium at an alarming rate due to confusion caused by the reflective glass.

The report said 60 birds died during the fall migration period (August 14 to November 7) and warns if the death trend continues, the stadium could be the deadliest building for birds in the entire state.

But U.S. Bank Stadium Director of Communications Jenn Hathaway tells TMZ Sports there's a flaw in the report.

"It is not possible to make this conclusion based on intermittent monitoring with no direct comparisons for the same time period at other buildings."

Hathaway says the Stadium, the Vikings and Audubon Minnesota (which is different than Audubon Minneapolis) are involved with a different study which she claims will be more thorough.

She says the report will be valid, credible and transparent.

"These efforts have been positive and collaborative. We will have more information when the study is finalized in 2019."

If the Shaq vs. Big Show supermatch at WrestleMania falls apart, The Miz says don't point the finger at Show.

With Shaq saying things are not looking good behind the scenes, everyone wants to know who to blame if the big men don't square off in April.

"I don't think Big Show would back out," Miz says ... "I don't see him backing out of anything ... especially WrestleMania. It's the biggest event of the year."

Simone Biles, Mr. T and Nancy Kerrigan better watch out (actually, Nancy should be watching out at all times) 'cause NFL player Rashad Jennings has a secret weapon to win 'DWTS' ... EMMITT SMITH!!

We got Rashad out in NYC and asked how he was preparing for his big chance as part of the new season ... and that's when he told us he actively picked the brain of Smith, a former winner.

It makes sense Jennings would be taking his dancing so seriously. When we got him a while back he told us being on the show was actually one of his dreams.

Still though, a Cowboy helping a guy most known as a Giant? Seems weird, right?

CATCH OF THE YEAR?!?!?

NY Mets infielder Luis Guillorme showed off some insane hand skills when he caught the bat that flew out of the hands of a batter ... without even flinching!!

It all went down Thursday while the Mets were playing the Miami Marlins -- Miami's Adeiny Hechavarria took a hard cut and lost the bat which went flying at the Mets dugout.

Former Miami Dolphins & Cleveland Browns receiver Davone Bess will NOT go to jail after a 2016 incident that culminated in a standoff with the S.W.A.T. team ... TMZ Sports has learned.

The 31-year-old appeared in a Phoenix courtroom Thursday where a judge sentenced him to 1 year probation after Bess pled no contest to endangerment.

As we previously reported, the whole incident began last June when cops tried to pull Bess over for a routine traffic violation ... but he allegedly made a gun gesture with his hands and drove away.

Officials said Bess barricaded himself inside the home, brandished a knife and threatened to shoot officers. 27 cops -- including the SWAT team -- responded to the scene. He was finally subdued by a K9 unit that was deployed inside the home.

Bess hasn't played in the NFL since 2013.

A college football running back -- who had insane potential on the field -- has been arrested for rape for a 2nd time after an alleged incident with a student trainer ... TMZ Sports has learned.

21-year-old Kishawn Holmes was arrested on Feb. 22 in Los Angeles and has been charged with 2 counts of rape. We're told the victim is a 19-year-old female who was performing an athletic massage on Holmes before things turned violent.

Holmes was the starting running back at Cerritos junior college and after rushing for more than 1,100 yards this season -- he was considered one of the best JuCo backs in the country.

He'd reportedly received at least 7 offers following the 2016 season.

Thing is ... it's not the first time Holmes has been accused of rape. Back in 2013 -- when he was a top high school prospect -- he was arrested for sexually assaulting 2 different underage girls.

Now, he's being held in jail on $2 MILLION bail.

So, we spotted Terrell Owens in Bev Hills Wednesday ... just as he was spotted on the street by Hall of Famer Mike Haynes ... and what ensued was a pretty cool raw moment.

Haynes -- who was inducted into Canton in 1997 -- told T.O. he BELONGS in the Hall of Fame and explained that "guys who know" football, like Steve Young, have his back.

He also told Owens to keep his head up and hopes he gets in next year.

Le'Veon Bell knows all about the diss track game (he recently went after Skip Bayless) ... and now the running back/rapper is offering up some hip-hop wisdom for Nicki Minaj.

The NFL superstar joined the guys on the "TMZ Sports" TV show (airs Thursday night on FS1) -- where he also talked about how he feels about getting hit with the Steelers franchise tag.

The good news -- lots of money. Bad news -- he wants more long-term security.

An alleged home invader learned the hard way ... you mess with a Gracie Jiu-Jitsu student, you leave with a BROKEN FACE!!

The dude with the busted grill is Josue Ortiz -- who allegedly tried to steal tools from an open garage in Fort Myers, FL ... when he was confronted by the homeowener.

Unfortunately for Ortiz, the guy defending the casa was Brian Burch -- who's not only physically imposing, but also has wrestling experience and trains at the local GJJ gym.

Burch says Ortiz got violent with him ... so he proceeded to beat his ass.

After smashing his nose, cops arrived and arrested Ortiz ... who left a big, bloody stain on the driveway.

Burch is being hailed as a hero ... especially by his neighbors who say the beating will serve as a crime deterrent.
