We’ve only heard about scandal prone former Olympic skater Tonya Harding a couple of times in the past few years, and I have to admit to being fascinated by her. Tonya is best known for allegedly having her ex husband cap rival skater Nancy Kerrigan in the knee in 1994, something Tonya denies having any prior knowledge of. She did a book tour in 2008 in which she claims that her ex husband, Jeff Gillooly, planned the attack without her knowledge and then raped her at gunpoint along with two other men to prevent her from going to the FBI to proclaim her innocence. Tonya has had multiple run-ins with the law in the past few years and spent a year touring as a professional women’s boxer from 2003-2004. I’m not sure what she’s done recently other than a 2009 interview with Real Sports, in which she got offended and defensive after President Obama used her name as a synonym for dirty tricks. That video is below and it’s super entertaining.

Anyway Tonya is pregnant with her first child at 40! I could have sworn she already had a bunch of children by different men, but apparently not.

The former figure skater, 40, is expecting her first child with husband Joseph Price, her attorney confirms to PEOPLE.

“Tonya is pregnant and very happily married,” Linda Lewis tells PEOPLE. “She wants her privacy, but she is very happy.”

The baby — reportedly a boy — is said to be due “any time,” notes the Portland Tribune.

Harding, who rose to prominence in 1991 after winning the U.S. Figure Skating Championships, became notorious in 1994 after her ex-husband and bodyguard hired another man to injure her competitor Nancy Kerrigan‘s leg, an attack which caused her to withdraw from the national championship that year.

She later pleaded guilty to hindering the prosecution after denying foreknowledge of the plot but admitting that she had not come forward once she found out. Harding, who was banned from amateur skating and completed probation, now lives in southwest Washington.

Congratulations are in order I guess. From what I can find, Tonya hasn’t had any incidents with the law since 2007, so maybe she’s cleaned up and is ready to be a mom at this point. For all you can say about her, she hasn’t neglected any kids yet.
