Jewel Is Pregnant!

There must be something in the water!

Jewel Kilcher, known professionally as Jewel, has confirmed to PEOPLE that she and her rodeo star hubby, Ty Murray, are expecting their first child!

“I took a pregnancy test and it was positive!” explained the 36-year-old songstress, who is now in her second trimester.

She received the exciting news on another big day in her life – her first day on the job as co-host of the upcoming Bravo reality show, Going Platinum: “It was so hard to keep it a secret. I was worried I’d start throwing up on set and everyone would be like, ‘Oh, she’s pregnant.’”

Jewel also took to Twitter Tuesday morning (January 11) to share her happy secret:

yes, many of you guessed it- Im pregnant! Ty and I r so excited!

The 'Foolish Games' singer and her husband, who tied the knot on August 7, 2008 in the Bahamas, are thrilled to be pregnant after trying to conceive for two years: “I have always been a workaholic,” admits the mom-to-be. “So I had to learn how to slow down and take care of myself in a different way.”

Now that she is expecting, Jewel wants to savour the experience:

“I’m trying to be in the moment and really enjoy my pregnancy.”

Congratulations to the happy couple!
