He told US TV show 'Extra': "My life is so full right now. My baby is now having a baby, what the heck is going on? Elliot and Sofia are about to have a nervous breakdown, but I've told her to calm down. I say 'When the baby comes, then you can have a nervous breakdown!' It's just a great time!"
The 'American Idol' judge is already grandfather to Harlow, 16, and Sparrow, 14, through his adoptive daughter Nicole Richie but is excited to experience the feeling of becoming a grandparent all over again as he admitted that he is "over the moon" and thinks that parenthood will be the ultimate "adventure" for Sofia and her husband.
He said: "Of course, let me tell you something, we're all loving it. I'm over the moon and trying to stay calm. I'm just so excited. For them, I know this is going to be the adventure of a lifetime!"
The 'Hello' singer - who has Sofia with his ex-wife Diane Alexander and also has son Miles, 29, with her - recently admitted it was surreal to find out the model is expecting her own baby.
He said: "I'm watching my baby having a baby. Yikes! I mean, that just kind of freaked me out a little bit. But at the same time, Elliot and Sofia are such a force. This little baby is gonna be souped up like you've never seen before. It's amazing."
