According to the reproductive experts at E!News, Christina Aguilera and husband Jordan Bratman are expecting their first child.

Her estranged father has confirmed the news and through magazine interviews has wished her all the happiness in the world (or at least all the happiness he was unable to provide her before she got rich and famous) but so far Christina and husband Jordan Bratman have remained mum on the topic.

And why wouldn't they? Announcing a pregnancy doesn't end speculation, it just seems to make it open season for the holy-cow-look-how-big-she-is photographs (See: Spears, Britney) and adds to the frenzy.

Good job, Christina. You're already showing good parenting sense by keeping everyone guessing!
