The 'Savage Love' hitmaker and his girlfriend Jena Frumes are expecting their first child together - a baby boy - and Jason believes their union couldn't have come at a better time.

He said: "Thank you so much. Yeah, I could not be more excited it’s a boy.

"I think everything happens in the right time. I was just starting to like really get baby fever, I guess with age and you meet someone you really really connect with and it happened at just the right time ... It hasn’t been a tough pregnancy at all. She’s been really, really good, the worst thing that happens is he just kicks a lot. Whenever he hears music he just starts dancing."

Meanwhile, Jason also revealed he was keen to have a baby boy so someone could carry on his family name as both his brother and sisters have had daughters.

Speaking on The Drew Barrymore Show, he added: "I think I’ve done so much in my life right? And I’ve been able to accomplish a lot so at this point in my life I’m like, 'Okay, now who do I share it with?' Also, there is no men to carry my name. My brother had all girls, my sister had girls, so there’s no more Derulos, like I needed to make it happen because somebody's got to carry the name."

Jason and Jena announced last month that they are set to welcome a baby boy.

Jason and Jena confirmed the news after they found out themselves via a blue fireworks display at the Privilege Pool at Baha Mar resort destination in the Bahamas with a group of friends and family.
