Announcing the news on Instagram, the Man Utd star said: "BABY JAMES ...Just what me & Ria wished for .
"Our little one due September."
And he was met with congratulations from the official Man Utd Instagram account.
The club replied: "Brilliant news! Congrats from all of us."
A number of James' Red Devils team-mates posted their reaction to the video, including club captain Harry Maguire, Mason Greenwood and Scott McTominay.
And players from other clubs also weighed in with their own congratulatory messages, most notably Jack Grealish, Jesse Lingard and Tammy Abraham.
Hughes, a fitness instructor by trade, was over the moon back in 2019 when James made the move from Swansea to Man Utd.
When he signed for the English giants, she said: "Even after all these years you still manage to amaze me every single day.
"You work so hard on and off the pitch at everything you do.
"Your determination, your personality, how you deal with things, how selfless you are, how you treat people, your dedication, the ambition you have, just everything about you makes me so bloody proud.
"What a dream of yours this is - I still can not believe it is happening.
"I'm so lucky I get to watch you achieve your goals everyday. Forever grateful.
"There is no better person who deserves this more. Keep working hard. Keep being you. I am so proud."
James has missed Man Utd's last three Premier League games due to injury.
But he could be set to make his return on Tuesday evening when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men host Fulham.
