Christina Aguilera

Not that anyone had any doubts at this point, but Christina has finally confirmed her pregnancy! People reports the news:

In an interview with Glamour magazine, the 26-year-old singer-songwriter, who has sold more than 30 million albums worldwide, says that she intends to be a working mom who’ll “balance” caring for her child and tending to her career, reports the BBC.

“I want to get it right,” she is quoted as saying.

Describing the reaction of the father-to-be – Aguilera’s husband, music executive Jordan Bratman, 30 – she says, “He’s thrilled! He’s just great.”

Aguilera also says she finds Bratman (who, like her, hails from New York) “so supportive and amazing through everything. He came with me on the last leg of the tour and he was my support system. … I gush. I’m a lucky girl.”

I’m glad she finally confirmed it, but it almost seems like overkill at this point. She was milking all the press, and now it’s not going to be as big a deal. Which is I guess not a huge deal, because she’s due sometime at the beginning of the new year, so she deserves the holidays to relax and get huge in private.

And then hopefully she’ll put out a new album so we have some new news to occupy ourselves.
