Chelsea Clinton is pregnant at 34, and the former first daughter has made the big announcement just this Thursday afternoon. Proud grandparents-to-be, Bill and Hillary Clinton even expressed their joy over their daughter's pregnancy, Washington Post reported April 17.
Just this Thursday afternoon in New York, in a surprise announcement, Chelsea Clinton revealed that she is pregnant and is expecting her first child this fall.
The pregnant Chelsea Clinton then said that she and husband Marc Mezvinsky are "very excited" and "lucky" to finally welcome a child into their family. "I just hope that I will be as good a mom to my child and hopefully children as my mom was to me," she added.
A Clinton spokesman told the press that Chelsea's baby is due in the fall.
Chelsea Clinton's "pregnant" announcement came as a surprise to everyone, including the senior Clinton staffers at the Clinton Foundation forum, which promotes girls' empowerment worldwide at the Lower Eastside Girls Club in Manhattan.
"I certainly feel all the better - whether it's a boy or girl - that she or he will grow up in a world full of so many strong, young female leaders," Chelsea said during her speech. "So thank you for inspiring future generations, including the one that we'll be lucky enough to welcome into our family later this year."
Chelsea's mother, Hillary Clinton was spotted smiling while her daughter made the announcement.
According to Washington Post, the prospective 2016 presidential candidate told press that she is "really excited" about Chelsea Clinton's pregnancy to her first grandchild.
Reports say that former president Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton have been looking forward to become grandparents, so it's not surprising that the two were very joyful upon hearing their daughter's announcement.
It can be noted that in a magazine interview last year, Chelsea expressed that 2014 would be "the year of the baby" and now that it is finally here, family and friends were very much pleased that the former daughter is now expecting her first child.
Meanwhile, Chelsea's parents were very "thrilled" of their daughter's pregnancy that they decided to make a shout-out on Twitter.
"My most exciting title yet: Grandmother-To-Be! @billclinton and I are thrilled that Chelsea and Marc are expecting their first child!" Hillary Clinton tweeted.
"Excited to add a new line to my Twitter bio...grandfather-to-be! @hillaryclinton and I are so happy for Chelsea and Marc!" Bill Clinton wrote.
Vogue editor Anna Wintour, who was also present at the event of the announcement told the media, "It's so exciting. I'm so thrilled." Then she added, "I know that Secretary Clinton has wanted a grandchild for a long time."
Politico reported that many have noticed that Hillary Clinton was more cheerful and relaxed in recent appearances prior to the big announcement, making them speculate that the grandparents-to-be were already informed of Chelsea Clinton's pregnancy ahead of time.
