Congratulations are in order for John Legend and Chrissy Teigen.

The Grammy Award-winning singer, 36, and his model wife, 29, are expecting their first child, they announced on Instagram Monday.

“John and I are so happy to announce that we are pregnant As many of you know, we’ve been trying to have a baby for a while now,” she wrote. “It hasn’t been easy, but we kept trying because we can’t wait to bring our first child into the world and grow our family. We’re so excited that it’s finally happening. Thank you for all your love and well wishes. I look forward to all the belly touching! Xx.”

The news comes just weeks after the FABlife co-host opened up about the couple’s struggle to conceive.

“John and I have been together for so long now,” Teigen said of constantly being asked when they will have kids. “I met him when I was 20, and I’m almost 30 now. Our relationship, before we even got engaged, was pretty significant too. But I will say that, just two years into being married, the questions come from all over. It’s kind of crazy.”

As she prepares for motherhood, the model has some rules already in place.

“No hot nannies, drivers or maids,” she recently told E! News. “It’s an ongoing joke in my house. I do want kids one day, so it’s something that I have to think about.”

The A-list couple were wed in Lake Como, Italy, in 2013.

Congratulations to the Teigen-Legend family!
