(CBS) It's been rumored for weeks, and now it's confirmed: Jessica Simpson is pregnant.

The singer posted a Halloween-themed tweet to share the news, posing for a photo dressed up as a mummy and holding her baby bump.

"It's true - I'm going to be a mummy!" she wrote.

Simpson, 31, has been photographed recently hiding what appeared to be a growing bump, sparking speculation that she is expecting.

This will be the first child for Simpson and her fiancee, former NFL player Eric Johnson. The couple announced their engagement last year.

The singer is already an aunt to 3-year-old Bronx, her sister Ashlee Simpson's son with ex Pete Wentz.
