Alanis Morissette reveals gender of baby

The 36-year-old singer is pregnant with her first child with her husband, rapper MC Souleye, and a representative for the happy couple has now confirmed the sex of their new addition to US Magazine.

Alanis is around eight months pregnant and enjoyed a baby shower with her close friends and family last month. The event sparked speculation she was expecting a son, after a guest arrived at the shower carrying an ‘It’s A Boy’ gift.

During the party, Alanis and her friends had matching henna patterns drawn onto their arms and hands – with the singer even having decorative swirls added to her baby bump. She later posted a photograph of her body art work on her Twitter account.

Alanis began dating Souleye - real name in Mario Treadway – in October 2009. They surprised many when they married in May as their engagement had been a secret.

The couple invited just a handful of close friends and family to the nuptials, and have remained tight-lipped about the details of the ceremony.

Alanis is currently busy writing a new book that she has described as “part psychology, part philosophy, part spirituality”, but has denied it is a memoir.
