Leona Lewis expecting first child with husband Dennis ‘over the moon’ after X Factor star passes 12-week milestone

LEONA Lewis is expecting her first child with husband Dennis Jauch.

Sources have revealed that the Bleeding Love hitmaker – who married the creative director in 2019 – is due later this year.

And she is expected to publicly announce her pregnancy later this month.

A source said last night: “Leona and Dennis are absolutely over the moon.

“They have passed the 12-week milestone and told their family and friends at the beginning of the year.

“They can’t wait to welcome their new arrival and to become a family of three.”

Leona – who shot to fame when she won the X Factor in 2006 – saw her career go from strength to strength after debut Spirit became one of the best-selling albums in chart history.

She has sold more than 35million records worldwide, with five successful albums and nominations for seven Brit Awards and three Grammy Awards.

She first met long-term love Dennis when he worked as a dancer on her 2010 Labyrinth tour, and they began dating soon after.

In November 2018, Leona confirmed they were engaged after being pictured wearing a diamond ring while on holiday, writing in an Instagram post: “I can’t wait to be your wife.”

The pair married in a lavish ceremony at Sting’s 16th-century luxury estate in Tuscany a year later.

And in 2020, Leona spoke about the pair’s plans to have a family – revealing that they would consider adopting as her mum Maria grew up in care.

Speaking in a magazine interview, Leona said: “I do want children, but Dennis and I have also talked about adopting.

“My mum grew up in a children’s home. No one adopted her as a child and I would very much like to adopt. But I’m still figuring things out.

"If it was up to my husband, we would have had kids yesterday.”
