The ‘All You Wanted’ hitmaker and her husband, The Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney, are set to welcome another baby into the world, as Michelle – who already has two-year-old Rhys with Patrick, and 16-year-old Owen with ex-husband Teddy Landau – took to Instagram to share the happy news.
Alongside a series of pictures of herself and Rhys making a batch of scones, she wrote: “You know you’re pregnant when...
“Woke up to a picture my friend Sonya sent of scones she was eating in England and I immediately had to hop out of bed and make a batch myself. @officerpatrickcarney was my hero (as usual) and went to the market in search of double cream. (sic)”
Michelle’s pregnancy news comes after she revealed in December she had suffered a miscarriage, and she will be due to give birth early next year.
She added in her Instagram post: “Couldn’t be more excited (and nervous! Hello, pregnancy after miscarriage anyone?!) to announce baby Carney is coming early 2022! *recipe is @nigellalawson, duh. (sic)”
At the time of the 38-year-old singer’s miscarriage, she described the loss as a “dagger” in her heart.
She wrote on social media: "Just when we were rounding third and heading home (A baseball metaphor?! I know.) 2020 was like, 'nah, I ain't done yet.’
"December decided to really finish us off with a bang! No, literally. A bomb went off in downtown Nashville yesterday," she continued. "And to further twist a dagger in my heart, I experienced my first miscarriage (ugh! Motherf*****!) (sic)”
Meanwhile, the ‘Are You Happy Now?’ singer opened up about co-parenting with Teddy back in 2017.
She said at the time: "I luckily have a very wonderful ex-husband, and I can say that, and I know a lot of people in my shoes can't.
"Everyone enters a relationship with the best of intentions, and we grew apart. Having our daughter together was really the balancing factor when everything was kind of coming to a close. It was easy to focus on her and worry about how she felt and making it normal for her; it allowed us not to get too caught up in our own s***."
