The Destiny's Child singer — who is already mother to a 5-year-old son, Titan — revealed the news with a stunning photoshoot for the cover of Women's Health magazine.

In the accompanying interview, Kelly said she was hesitant to share the news with the world in the midst of all that's going on, but she wanted to "remind people that life is important."

"Being able to have a child…" she said. "I'm knocking at 40's door in February. Taking care of myself means a lot to me."

"I was thinking, 'Oh my god, my fans are gonna be so disappointed... They wanted an album first, but they got a baby!'" Kelly joked. "And I was like, 'I have to figure this out so they get both.'"

And in a new interview with People, Kelly opened up about her pregnancy, and explained why she and her husband Tim Weatherspoon decided to try for a second child.

"Me and my husband were in the middle of COVID just like everybody else, and there's not much to do in the house," Kelly joked.

"We were like, 'We'll just try for a baby. We'll see what happens, because we don't know how long this is gonna last,'" she went on. "Literally, by the grace of God, God blessed us with a new life. We're just really excited."

She added that her son, Titan, is extremely excited about the new addition and has already named the baby — but she's waiting to see "what the deal is" when the baby actually arrives.

"He's used to all the attention," Kelly laughed.

She added that while her labour with Titan was induced, she wants to do things differently this time around.

"I want to feel the shock," Kelly said.

"I want the movie magic moment where it's like, 'Oh my God, my water broke,'" she explained. "But if it gets from zero to 100 and then you're like, 'Oh, what have I done...' I'm not trying to feel what the ring of fire truly feels like."

In a video posted to her Twitter account on Tuesday, Kelly revealed she's already six months along, expecting the baby to arrive in 2021, and enjoying a very relaxing-looking ~babymoon~.
