Chely Wright Expecting Twins

American country music artist Chely Wright is pregnant with twins. The babies are due in July.

The 42-year-old singer and her wife Lauren Blitzer-Wright announced the news on Howard Bragman's YouTube show Gwissues, People magazine reported.

"We're excited to be parents and we hope we don't mess it up too badly!" People quoted Wright telling Bragman, adding that they are expecting their babies before the due date, as "with identical twins they typically have to be delivered a month early."

"We're anticipating I'll be as big as a ... bus or an A-frame house by around June," Wright added in the video, while flaunting her baby bump.

Wright, who started performing from high school days, got engaged to LGBT rights advocate Lauren Blitzer in April 2011 and tied the knot in August.

During the pregnancy announcements, Wright talked about children and her impending motherhood.

"When gay couples have babies it's logistically a little different than when straight people have babies as we all know," Wright, who is a gay rights activist, explained.

"We feel like God blessed us with twins," she added. "We feel our entire relationship has been blessed. We feel lucky and ready to take on the challenges."

Apart from singing, Wright, who has seven studio albums to her credit, has also tried her hand at composing songs.
