The former Destiny's Child star - who already has five-year-old son Titan Jewell with her husband Tim Weatherspoon, who she married in 2014 - has revealed the happy news and admitted the couple decided to "see what happens" during the coronavirus pandemic.
Speaking to the new issue of Women's Health Magazine - of which she is the cover star - she said: "We had been talking about it loosely, and then COVID happened, and we were just like, 'Let's see what happens.' "
The 39-year-old singer's baby is due later this year, and she admits she was initially hesitant about sharing her happy news publicly because 2020 has been such a tough time for people around the world due to the COVID-19 crisis.
She said: "But you still want to remind people that life is important.
"And being able to have a child ... I'm knocking at 40's door in February. Taking care of myself means a lot to me."
Kelly also opened up about raising two black children during such a volatile time in the US.
Commenting on the death of George Floyd, she said: "I'd just put Titan to bed. I got into the show, and I had this real hard, ugly, deep cry.
"Because I promised to protect my kid. That was the main thing I was thinking about: protecting this little innocence."
Titan will be delighted with Kelly's pregnancy, after the youngster previously told his mother he wanted a baby brother.
Speaking last year, she revealed: "Oh my gosh, my son keeps asking me for a sibling. But it’s just not [the] right timing...
“He’s like, ‘We’re going to have a brother, Mom.' I said, ‘Well, he won’t be my brother - he’ll be my son - [and] what if it’s a girl?’ [And he said] ‘No, it’s not a girl, it’s a brother.’ ”
