Rachel Platten and her husband, Kevin Lazan, are expecting their first child together.
“This is one of my most exciting announcements, but also one of my most vulnerable,” the 37-year-old singer said in a lengthy Instagram post on Wednesday. “So here goes…. I am pregnant!!”
She posted the news alongside a photo of her growing belly.
“I can’t believe I’m finally typing these words – I have wanted to share this news for months,” Platten wrote.
The “Fight Song” singer revealed in the post that getting to this happy point has come with its struggles.
“It’s a total miracle that I’m growing a human and my husband and I couldn’t be more thrilled,” she said. “But, I have also had an incredibly difficult spring and summer with serious nausea, exhaustion, constant sickness and all the awful symptoms no one wants to really talk about when sharing the ‘perfect blessed journey’ of pregnancy. I was so afraid that if I shared that part (the difficulty of flying and performing while puking in green rooms and airplanes) that I’d seem ungrateful somehow when I’m actually crazy full of gratitude – I’m just HUMAN.”
She then promised to share as much of her journey as she could with her fans.
Platten and Lazan tied the knot in 2010.
