Christina Aguilera has finally confirmed what the rest of the world already knew - she's pregnant.

Up to now, the singer, 26, has been keeping mum about her growing bump.

Speaking at her Beverly Hills home in her pyjamas with her husband Jordan Bratman and her dogs, the chart-topper said she had only one New Year's resolution for 2008.

"That'll be about the time I enter into mommyhood, so" she whispered, "I'm hoping to have started a beautiful family with my husband!"
The Beautiful singer, who lives in the mansion sold to her by Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne, told Glamour magazine that music executive Bratman, 30, was ecstatic.

"Oh, he's thrilled!, he's just great", she said. "He's so supportive and amazing through everything. He came with me on the last leg of the tour and he was my support system...I gush. I'm a lucky girl."

The Dirrty star said she wanted to be a working mother. She told the magazine: "I want to get it right, to balance that well with my career."

The 5ft 2in singer added: "When you get married and have a team mate in life, you don't have time for the people around you that are just going to weigh you down. I'm all about peace and keeping people that are honest and loving in my life."

In the interview, Aguilera, who began performing in the Mickey Mouse club with Britney Spears, reflected on why she had not gone down the self-destructive route of some of her contemporaries.

She told Glamour: "When you hit 20 or 21 and you're around drugs and alcohol, everyone has a moment when they like to dabble in it and express themselves. It's called being young but there is a boundary. You see all of these horror stories about people that have died of drug overdoses, people that have taken it too far and ruined their lives, and for me, I had so many things that I had yet to accomplish. It was just a matter of thinking, I don't want to waste any time, and sticking to the plan."
