The 28-year-old singer ended months of speculation by admitting she is expecting her first child with husband The-Dream.
She said: My husband and I are expecting. We're about four-and-a-half months along, about 19 weeks. We're really excited.
The couple have already been told the sex of their baby, but don’t want to reveal what it is.
Christina and songwriter-and-producer The-Dream who began dating earlier this year - surprised their friends and family by marrying in Las Vegas last month.
Although the nuptials seemed to be spontaneous, she insists they thought long and hard about the union.
Christina said: Honestly, it was kind of planned. We were engaged for many months.
Shortly after their engagement was made public, The-Dream - real name Terius Youngdell Nash admitted he couldn’t wait to start a family.
He said: I love kids, and Christina loves kids probably more than I do.
"I think when you're a female in this business, it's kind of hard to do the natural thing that you want to do.
You have to do your work - then whenever she makes that time for herself, she'll make that time to have a baby. In the next couple of years, there'll be something around.
