The Black Eyed Peas singer - whose real name is Stacy Ferguson - has revealed she and her `Safe Haven` actor husband are expecting their first child.

Fergie tweeted: "Josh & Me & BABY makes three!!!! #mylovelybabybump (sic)"

The 37-year-old singer recently joked she and her hunky 40-year-old spouse were enjoying trying for a baby.

She said: "We`ll be happy when it happens. It`s not really in our hands but trying is great for our relationship."

Last year following the death of the couple`s beloved rescue dog, Meatloaf, from a brain disorder, Josh revealed they were planning to start a family rather than replace the pooch.

He said: "I think we`re going to focus on our human baby first. Hopefully we`ll have kids and then at some point we`ll get another dog.

"I don`t know how to describe it, but anyone who would come over, they all went to Meatloaf.
"He was just so f***ing adorable. He was a really, really soulful smart little dog. I never thought I`d be as shaken up as I was when he was gone."

Fergie`s Black Eyed Peas bandmate, Apl.de.ap, has previously insisted he wants to be godfather to her first child.

H said: "Fergie`s great and it would be amazing if she and Josh had a baby. I would definitely love to be godfather. It`ll be one cool baby and she`s such a cool lady."
