Melanie Chisholm is Pregnant

Melanie Chisholm, aka Melanie C or Sporty Spice, announced she is pregnant with her first child, and the daddy is her boyfriend Thomas Starr. Mel said in a statement on her web site:

“Well, I can now announce that Tom and I are expecting a baby and we are very happy. As I’m sure you’ll understand we needed time to wait for results and tell our families. Thank you for all your kindness, good wishes and support (even if it was based on speculation!). You all know how much I value my privacy so I’m sure I can rely on you to respect that, particularly at this time. I will be taking it easy but am also excited to start writing for the fifth album. I’ll need some time off to be a mum but, before you know it, I’ll be back.”

Congrats!
