Some of Britney Spears’ friends claim that her bloating stomach is nothing more than “water retention,” but other sources revealed today that the pop princess is indeed pregnant.

Britney has reportedly been desperate to have a daughter and hopes that the baby she is carrying now will be the girl that she always wanted.

The real shocker isn’t that Brit is pregnant for the third time, it’s that its ex-husband’s K-Fed’s, baby.

“Brit’s desperate for a baby girl and she always wanted Kevin to be the daddy,” the source said. “She wants her daughter to have the same father as her sons and for them all to be one happy family.”

Sources added that Britney recently called up K-Fed to tell him the happy news. No word yet as to how he took the news. The custody battle over their two sons Sean Preston and Jayden James is still going on, and K-Fed looks set to walk away with $58,000 a month in child support payments.
