"[Wayne] is really nice and I could always just lean on him for anything," Carson told "Good Morning America."

"He was like one of the first people to know I was pregnant, so he really looked out for me," she continued. "He's like a big brother."

The 29-year-old revealed how hard it was to keep her pregnancy a secret because she has been really sick with this pregnancy. "It was really hard to keep it from people who were around me a lot because I was really sick, so I would have to go and throw up here and there," Carson continued to explain.

"So Wayne was one of the first people to know, and I think just besides the nausea, just trying to hide the bump, it's my second kid so my showing a lot more," she concluded.
