Congratulations to Sophie Ellis Bextor and husband Richard Jones – they are expecting their third child together. Altogether now… awwwww.
Singer Sophie announced the happy news on Twitter, saying, “I have something to tell you...I am having another baby. Due in spring. A little brother or sister for Sonny and Kit. Family e-b-jones are happy and excited. It's a lovely thing.”
Sophie – who is hard at work on her fifth album – will continue to work on her music, and she even joked about being on a deadline, “By the way, work on album 5 continues as usual. In fact, I now have a deadline! In the studio as we speak.”
Sophie’s previous pregnancies have been difficult; Sonny was born via an emergency cesarean section after Sophie developed pre-eclampsia, while little brother Kit was born weighing just 2lbs 10oz when he was born nine weeks early. We hope Sophie’s third pregnancy and birth goes smoothly.
