Baby Spice Emma Bunton expecting a baby |
Former Spice Girl Emma Bunton has announced that she is three months pregnant with her first child. “I guess I will be handing over the ‘Baby’ tag now to a deserving little new owner,” the singer said in a statement.
The former Spice Girl is expecting her first child in the summer with her boyfriend Jade Jones. The couple has been an item for eight years and they moved in together last year. They said in a statement: “We are so happy, it’s unbelievable news. What a great start to the New Year.”
Six years ago Bunton had to have pre-cancerous cells removed from her cervix. Last year, she made public she’d been diagnosed with endometriosis, a painful condition which can reduce fertility. In December, the singer told the U.K.'s The Mirror that she hoped to have a baby of her own, but if not she would think about adoption. "Obviously I'd like to try for my own first," she said. "But I would be open to adoption."
Emma Bunton, whose third studio album Life in Mono was released in December, is not the only pregnant Spice Girl. Mel B is expecting her second child in the spring also. Geri Halliwell gave birth to her first child eight months ago and Victoria Beckham has three children, Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz.
