After pictures of Jennifer Hudson from a recent performance hinted at a fuller figure, Internet rumors swirled that the singer was pregnant. Essence.com is now reporting that sources have confirmed she's expecting.

J. Hud is currently engaged to I Love New York 2 contestant David Otunga, but they haven't nailed down a wedding date yet.

A baby would be joyful news for the Oscar and Grammy winner, who tragically lost her mother, brother and nephew in October when they were found murdered in Chicago.

Sadly, Ms. Hudson was supposed to be on tour through May 8 but she was ordered by the doctor to postpone her tour. The “official” cause for the postponement of the tour is “throat problems.” But one of the insiders speculates that it could be much more serious.

We hope everything is ok Jen... we will be praying for you.
