Leona Lewis has confirmed that she is set to become a mother for the first time.

Rumours had been swirling that the former X Factor winner, 36, was expecting a child with husband Dennis Jauch.

Ms Lewis took to Instagram to end speculation, revealing that her baby is due later this year.

Debuting her growing baby bump in a figure-hugging black bodycon dress, she captioned the snap: “Can’t wait to meet you in the Summer."

The Bleeding Love hit-maker married German-born creative director Jauch in July 2019 at singer Sting’s sprawling Tuscan villa in Italy.

The couple first met in 2010, while he was a dancer on her Labyrinth tour, and they began dating shortly after.

They announced their engagement in 2018.

Sharing the same picture on his own social media account, Mr Jauch wrote: “Biggest gift I could’ve asked for coming this Summer. You’re one hot a** Mama leonalewis."

Singer Lewis has been candid about her desire to start a family in the past.

“I do want children, but Dennis and I have spoken about adopting,” she told The Daily Telegraph in 2020.

“My mum grew up in a children’s home. No one adopted her as a child and I would very much like to adopt.

“But I’m still figuring things out. If it was up to my husband, we would have had kids yesterday.”
