Michelle Branch is pregnant with her third child, announcing the happy news by putting literal buns in her oven.
“You know you’re pregnant when…” the 38-year-old singer — who suffered a miscarriage in December — began in an Instagram caption alongside photos of herself baking scones.
“Woke up to a picture my friend Sonya sent of scones she was eating in England and I immediately had to hop out of bed and make a batch myself,” she wrote, adding that her husband, Patrick Carney, was her “hero” for going in search for some double cream at the store.
Branch said she “couldn’t be more excited” to welcome her third child — her second with the Black Keys drummer — but was also very nervous.
“Hello, pregnancy after miscarriage anyone?!” she wrote, adding that their new addition is due in early 2022.
The “Everywhere” songstress previously revealed that she suffered her first miscarriage.
“Just when we were rounding third and heading home (A baseball metaphor?! I know.) 2020 was like, ‘nah, I ain’t done yet,’” she said. “December decided to really finish us off with a bang! No, literally. A bomb went off in downtown Nashville yesterday. And to further twist a dagger in my heart, I experienced my first miscarriage…”
She noted that she was finding comfort and pushing through her heartbreak by celebrating the holidays with her family.
“But alas, between the crying and binge eating of Christmas cookies, I decided to put on lipstick and a dress,” she said. “We drank champagne alllll day. Made an incredible meal and sang Christmas songs snuggled up by a roaring fire.”
Branch and Carney got engaged in 2017 and welcomed their first child together, Rhys in 2018. They tied the knot in 2019.
She also shares 16-year-old daughter Owen with her first husband Teddy Landau.
