The 31-year-old singer divorced her ex-husband and fellow popstar Nick Lachey in 2005 following a reality show which documented their time as newlyweds. It was then rumoured that the blonde beauty was set to marry for a second time this year to former NFL player Eric Johnson, but the ceremony has been postponed, with many alleging that the special day has been delayed due to Jessica being pregnant.

Having been spotted being helped in and out of her car by her mother, rumours are rife that the singer is in a delicate condition. But why keep it a secret? Glowing mum-to-be Beyonce has been happy to show off her new, fuller figure, so should Jessica do the same? Or is she doing the right thing keeping it a secret?
