Girls Aloud member Nadine Coyle says she is expecting her first child

LONDON - Former Girls Aloud member Nadine Coyle says she is pregnant with her first child.

The 28-year-old British pop star posted a snapshot of herself on her Instagram account, with the caption: "I am having a baby."

Coyle's management firm confirmed Thursday that the star "is expecting a baby and is absolutely delighted with the news."

Girls Aloud was put together a decade ago on U.K. reality show "Popstars: The Rivals" and went on to have a string of hits.

The members — Cheryl Cole, Nicola Roberts, Kimberley Walsh, Sarah Harding and Coyle — later pursued solo projects with varying degrees of success.

They reunited for a 10th anniversary tour but split again after their final show in March.
