Dancehall artist\u00a0Spice\u00a0is pregnant.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

On Tuesday (March 14), the Queen of Dancehall confirmed speculations that she is pregnant with her third child. Spice dropped some hints over the weekend that she might be expecting, leaving fans to speculate.<\/p>\n

Today she decided to end the speculations and confirm what we all thought when she shared a photo of her growing baby bump, which appears to show she is at least eight months into her pregnancy.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>

Spice, whose real name is Grace Hamilton, didn\u2019t share any further details about her pregnancy except to thank God for her bundle of joy. \u201cGod has been so good to me,\u201d she wrote on her Instagram.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The pic appears to be from her maternity shoot and shows her wearing a long flowering blue dress and blue hair. Blue is Spice\u2019s favorite color, so no surprise her shoot is decked out in blue.<\/p>\n

The Love and Hip Hop Atlanta star did not share who her baby daddy is.\u00a0Spice dated video director Justin Budd\u00a0for over two years before the pair called it quits in the summer of last year. She addressed the breakup in one of her Instagram Live sessions, where she hinted that\u00a0Budd was too controlling.<\/p>

\u201cMe love, if yuh want man fi control yuh, mek you no go deh with him,\u201d she said at the time. \u201cEvery minute oonu a talk bout \u2018mi miss rasta\u2019\u2026 mi wuk too hard fi deh which part me deh me don\u2019t want no man stress, mi nuh no man hold me down, me nuh want no man tell me wha fi do, mi nuh want no man tell me say me can\u2019t dance, me can\u2019t do this, me can\u2019t skin out, mi can\u2019t bruk out, me can\u2019t wear certain clothes, me can\u2019t this, me can\u2019t that.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Since then, the former couple, who won over the hearts of dancehall fans, was never seen together again, and Justin Budd never addressed the breakup.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Spice was hospitalized in the Dominican Republican in November last year. After spending over a week in the hospital amid rumors she slipped into a coma, the \u201cRomping Shop\u201d singer confirmed that\u00a0she had a ruptured hernia\u00a0that she needed surgery for. She also dispelled rumors that she had a heart attack and was in the Dominican Republic to get a BBL done.<\/p>

In January 2023,\u00a0Spice announced that she would be performing live for the first time\u00a0since her health scare at the upcoming Start Di Fun Music Festival in the Cayman Islands, set for March 24th. It\u2019s unclear if she has since canceled that performance.<\/p>\n
