Christina Aguilera completely blindsided her fans when she announced she’d gotten engaged to boyfriend of 3 years Matt Rutler over Valentine’s Day but, as it turns out, she wasn’t done yet surprising the world: she is pregnant with her second child.

The singer, known among her fans as “The Voice” long before she became a judge and mentor on the NBC singing competition of the same name, has another child with ex-husband Jordan Bratman, whose custody they share. However, this will be her and Matt’s first kid.

Christina and Matt met on the set of “Burlesque,” where she was the star and he was the production assistant, and they started dating right after her marriage to Bratman dissolved. They have been inseparable ever since.

Over the weekend, Aguilera announced the engagement by simply posting a photo of their hands united, with hers on top to reveal a gorgeous (and humongous) diamond ring, with the caption, “He asked and I said…” She obviously said “yes.”

TMZ confirms the news of the pregnancy, but refuses to disclose the source. Radar Online also confirms it, noting that OK! Magazine ran a story on how Christina was expecting as early as February 5. This isn’t really saying a lot because Star has a reputation for making tradition out of pregnancy (or breakup, or divorce) speculation.

“The Voice coach’s soon-to-be mother-in-law accidentally let the news slip this week while chatting with In Touch about her son’s Valentine’s Day engagement, telling the magazine: ‘I don’t know what their plans are, but when you have a baby, you’re not planning on moving anywhere anytime soon!’,” Radar also says.

As of now, neither Christina nor Matt has confirmed the happy news, but word online has it her management is scrambling to release a statement ASAP. Useless to say, when that happens, you’ll find out about it here.
