Soca star Destra Garcia is pregnant and expects to deliver her baby sometime in January 2010.
It will be the first child for her and the second for her boyfriend/manager/producer of the past nine years, Brian Morris. He is the father of a 13-year-old daughter who lives in Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
Garcia, known for hits like Bonnie and Clyde, I Dare You and Carnival, said she had some "mixed emotions at first".
The soca star, who is the face of Digicel in Trinidad and Tobago, said the news took her by surprise because there had been no morning sickness. Her stomach has only "just" started to show, she said.
Contacted for a comment, sponsorship and PR manager for Digicel, Marita Laurent, extended congratulations to Garcia and Morris on the pregnancy.
