Jennifer Lopez: My pregnancy was the worst kept secret ever

Singer thought everyone knew about her expecting a baby

Jennifer Lopez admits her pregnancy was the worst kept secret in Hollywood.

‘I kind of feel like everybody knew anyways,’ she says. 'I was on tour with a bubble gut!'

After months of speculation, 38-year-old Jen finally told a Miami concert audience on 8 November: 'Marc and I are expecting a baby!'

Explaining why she kept her secret for so long, the star says: 'I do realise people want to know because they're interested, but this is the first time I'm going through this.

'This is my experience and my husband's experience, and we get to hold that for a little while.

'We're just getting used to the fact that we've told everybody."

Jen is unsure how much time she will take off work to bond with her baby.

'I don't know – and I like that, because my life has been so planned for so many years,' she says. 'Once I did the tour, I really just wanted to shut it down, and since then I've had to do three things, including a video.

'It may not sound like a lot, but you know, as this point, any woman can sympathize. It is a lot. I was ready just to sit.'
