Heather Mills, wife of former Beatle Paul McCartney, is pregnant with the couple's first child, their spokesman said Wednesday.
In a brief statement, the couple said "we are delighted with this happy news."
Mills, a 34-year-old former model who lost a leg in a motorcycle accident and raises money for children disabled in war, married McCartney at an Irish castle in June 2002.
The spokesman, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the baby is due later this year. He did not say what month.
The child will be the first for Mills, who was married briefly in 1989. McCartney, 60, has three adult children, Stella, Mary and James, and a stepdaughter, Heather, from his marriage to his first wife, Linda McCartney, who died in 1998 from breast cancer.
Three months ago, Mills said in an interview she feared she would never have a child because of a series of health problems, including cancer.
"The chances of me getting pregnant are about that much," she said, holding up her thumb and finger an inch apart.
