Jennifer Lopez has admitted her pregnancy was the worst kept secret.

The 'Hold It Don't Drop It' singer - whose husband Marc Anthony excitedly announced they were expecting their first child together on stage in Miami in November - joked her baby news can't have come as much of a surprise because her increasing waistline gave it away.

She told Harper's Bazaar magazine: "I kind of feel like everybody knew anyway. I was on tour with a bubble gut!"

Jennifer also explained she and Marc decided to keep quiet on the baby rumours because they were not ready to share the experience with anybody else.

She added: "I do realise people want to know because they're interested, but this is the first time I'm going through this. This is my experience and my husband's experience, and we get to hold that for a little while."

The 38-year-old star is still undecided as to whether she will be a working mother, but says she is looking forward to not having to stick to a hectic schedule.

When asked how much time she is planning to take off, she said: "I don't know - and I like that, because my life has been so planned for so many years. Once I finished the tour, I really just wanted to shut it down and since then I've had to do three things, including a video. It is a lot. I was ready just to sit."
