The singer— known for her 1997 hit single, Torn— announced the exciting news on Instagram, revealing not only had she signed a new record deal but a baby is on the way.
"I’m very happy to announce that I have just signed a record deal with BMG!! What an AMAZING team," she began. "And as you can see from the pic.. there is another announcement... (no I haven’t swallowed a watermelon). I’m expecting my first child this Autumn. For those of you who know me, this has been something I have wanted for a very long time.
“I’m blessed that this is possible with the help of IVF (in vitro fertilisation) and a sperm donor. I’m so excited about this next adventure... a new album and I’m going to be a mum!"
Many of the mum-to-be's pals— including Spice Girls member Melanie "Mel C" Chisholm— commented on her post, wishing her well.
“You’re gonna be an AMAZING Mummy and you’re already an AMAZING recording artist,” Chisholm went on. “Love ya 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕.”
“Yay!!!!!! Congratulations,” Australian-British singer-songwriter Elizabeth Hurley wrote.
