The singer, 31, announced the happy news that she is pregnant on Twitter.

She wrote: “I’m pregnant!!! Brandon and I are so excited! Best early Christmas present ever.”

The pair were married in an intimate rustic wedding ceremony in October. The pair decided against a big, showbiz wedding, with Kelly saying: “We’re just gonna go off with the kids and go get married. It’s just gonna be literally, seriously small.”

Kelly recently revealed in an interview how much she wanted a baby with her new husband.

Speaking to Jay Leno, she said: “We’re trying, trying, trying… like rabbits! I want a little baby with little feet and I just want to bite them.”

Kelly is already stepmother to Brandon’s children from a former relationship and she revealed this is what made her broody.

She said: “They’re so great. I never wanted kids before, but now I want, like, five.”

It looks like Kelly ignored the advice of Adele. She revealed that the Someone Like You singer warned her off having children, saying: “Girl, don’t have a baby ‘cause everything else will go on the back burner. I’m living in baby land!”

The happy news comes after Kelly’s dog Joplin died on Friday.

She posted, along with a picture of Joplin: “My best friend died yesterday. Joplin was special. He fought his whole life to survive and now he can rest. I love him.”

Kelly released her Christmas-inspired sixth studio album Wrapped in Red last month.
