Jewel and Ty Murray Expecting First Baby

Congratulations to singer, Jewel, and her husband, Ty Murray, a 9-time world champion rodeo cowboy and Dancing With the Stars Alum. The pair are expecting their first child!

Here is what Jewel had to say: “I took a pregnancy test and it was positive! 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.’ I’m trying to be in the moment and really enjoy my pregnancy. I feel really lucky.” Murray can’t wait either, saying, “We’re so excited to be expecting our first baby. We always knew we wanted to have a child, and this time in our lives feels right.”

The couple wed in the Bahamas in 2008 and had been trying to have a baby for two years. “I have always been a workaholic, so I had to learn how to slow down and take care of myself in a different way,” Jewel says about her struggle to conceive. Now in her second trimester, Jewel and Ty are busy converting a guest room at their Texas ranch into a nursery.

Congratulations to Jewel and Ty!
