Beyoncé: 'I'm having so much fun being pregnant'

Beyoncé has said that she is enjoying her pregnancy.

The '1+1' singer announced that she is expecting her first child with husband Jay-Z at this year's MTV Video Music Awards.

She has since confessed that she is happy she does not have to hide the fact anymore.

"I am having so much fun. It has been the most fun time now that it has been announced," Beyoncé told CNN UK.

The singer, who was rumoured to be pregnant in November 2010, went on to say that she is especially enjoying shopping for maternity wear.

"It was really difficult to conceal," Beyoncé said. "But now... I can be proud and excited about it, I'm having so much fun shopping - it's great!"

Jay-Z is said to be overjoyed that his wife is pregnant with the couple's first child.
