Justin Timberlake confirms baby news

Justin Timberlake says having a baby is the “greatest gift” he could receive on his birthday.

The singer-and-actor, who turned 34 yesterday, married Jessica Biel in 2012 and rumours started circulating last year that the couple are expecting their first child.

Now Justin has finally confirmed the happy news to fans, admitting they don’t know the gender of their little one yet.

“Thank you EVERYONE for the Bday wishes! This year, I'm getting the GREATEST GIFT EVER. CAN'T WAIT.#BoyOrGirl #YouNeverKnow #WeDontEvenKnow#WeAreTakingBets (sic),” he posted on Instagram.

The star added a heart-warming picture of himself kissing his 32-year-old wife’s bump.

Justin’s confirmation is no big news to fans, as many people have been letting the cat out of the bag for months now.

InStyle magazine’s Editor-in-Chief Ariel Foxman took to Instagram last year to offer her well wishes, despite no official word from the A-list couple.

“Congrats @jessicabiel on your impending motherhood…Looking forward to the red carpet maternity style pix to come #tbt,” he captioned a red carpet photo with Jessica.

Justin’s former NSYNC bandmate Joey Fatone was also too excited to not spill the beans.

“He told me a while ago, and I kept my mouth shut,” Joey told In Touch magazine. “But now I can talk about it!”
