Fergie and husband Josh Duhamel have good reason to celebrate: they’re pregnant with their first child. A source close to the singer says for the US glossies that she’s with child and that they’ve been trying since earlier this year.

Despite rumors of scandalous affairs on his part and too many wild night partying on hers, Josh and Fergie have constantly put up a united front during their 2-and-a-half year marriage.

In January this year, they also decided to start trying for a baby, since it was about time they started their own family, an insider says for the latest print issue of InTouch Weekly (story via here).

“‘She definitely has a glow!’ Though it’s still early, the friend says that Fergie, 36, isn’t totally showing yet, but ‘she does have a little bump’,” the magazine writes, citing the unnamed friend.

“The friend says the Black Eyed Peas singer and hubby Josh Duhamel, 38, are more than ready to start a family. Married in early 2009, the couple celebrated their two-year wedding anniversary this past January and are focused on having a baby,” InTouch adds.

Photos of Fergie during a recent Black Eyed Peas concert show her somewhat heavier than usually, though she could have just been packing some extra weight, unrelated to pregnancy.

“They’ve been trying since January, so it wouldn’t be too surprising if they’re expecting. And no one is happier about it than Fergie and Josh,” the insider goes on to say.

Reports going back earlier in the marriage had it that Josh was eager to settle down and was even pressuring Fergie to have a baby, but she wouldn’t give up her career and her regular life for it, as we also informed you at the time.

Word in the blogosphere also had it that she wanted to see first if he would cheat again on her before having his baby.

Incidentally or not, just a short while ago, the Black Eyed Peas announced that they were taking a break, going on an indefinite hiatus to focus on individual projects – pregnancy could be Fergie’s, it is being said.
