Chrissy Teigen‘s well-documented struggle with fertility issues is over.

The 29-year-old pseudo-model made the announcement on social media Monday: she and hubby John Legend are having a baby.

“John and I are so happy to announce that we are pregnant :),” the attention-starved housewife wrote on Instagram.com. “As many of you know, we’ve been trying to have a baby for a while now. It hasn’t been easy, but we kept trying because we can’t wait to bring our first child into the world and grow our family.”

The baby is the first for the couple who publicized their efforts to have a baby before she turned 30.

“John and I were having trouble. We would have had kids five, six years ago if it had happened,” Teigen told ET. “But my gosh, it’s been a process.”

“We’re so excited that it’s finally happening,” Teigen wrote. “Thank you for all your love and well wishes. I look forward to all the belly touching! Xx.”
