The R&B star's pregnancy had already been 'accidentally exposed' by her four-year-old daughter Junie in a video on Instagram (above) but now she's officially confirmed the exciting baby news and spoken out about it for the first time.

Speaking to People, 29-year-old Teyana said, "We're ready, and we're very excited. Iman is super excited. Junie is ecstatic — I'm talking super ecstatic. Everybody is just excited. I can't wait."

Confirming the gender of her newly announced baby, Taylor added, "I've got three more months left until we meet our little princess."

Discussing baby names, Taylor revealed that she and Iman have a few in mind but that their young daughter Junie keeps changing them.

She explained, "Junie has a lot of ideas. We want to keep her as involved as possible because Junie clearly thinks that this is her baby. She talks to my stomach all the time. It's so good to see that."

She added, "Kids handle siblings differently. You have kids that are a little bit jealous. But she's so excited and preparing herself to be a big sister. She constantly kisses my stomach, she constantly talks to the baby. Even when we go to the store, she's like, 'Okay, mom, this is for the baby.' She's so ready. She's going to be such a great big sister."

In the music video for her new song 'Wake Up Love', Teyana Taylor addresses her pregnancy and Junie can be seen prodding her mother's stomach.

"What she did at the end of the video is Junie the whole time. She hogs the whole baby all the time. We were in the bed and loving on one another, and she jumped on the both of us like, 'I'm here!' It's the cutest thing."

The 'We Got Love' singer, 29, hosted a livestream for her fans on Thursday (May 21) when her daughter Iman "Junie" Tayla Shumpert Jr. crashed the video.
