After months of speculation, pop singer Britney Spears has confirmed reports she is pregnant with her first child.

Spears, 23, and husband Kevin Federline, 27, announced their happy news on the star's official website yesterday (12APR05).

She wrote, "The time has finally come to share our wonderful news that we are expecting our first child together.

"There were reports that I was in the hospital this weekend. Kevin and I just want everyone to know that all is well. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. Love Britney and Kevin."

The TOXIC hitmaker did not reveal how many months pregnant she was, or when the baby was due.
