Michael Bublé and his wife have announced they are expecting their first child.

The Canadian crooner's wife, Argentine actress and model Luisana Lopilato, 25, announced the news in a video message on her official website today, with a note that read: "Me and Mike have big news for you!"

The 22-second clip opens with the words "Mike, Lu...and mini Bublé!!!" before cutting to an ultrasound image and a snap of the couple kissing. It ends with the words "We are having a mini Buble!!!"

Bublé, 37, and Lopilato got engaged in November 2009, and married in March 2011.

The Haven't Met You Yet singer previously said he was keen to start a family as soon as his wife was on board.

"I've said to [Luisana] a million times I'd love to have kids," Bublé told ET Canada. "But I always say to her when you're ready - when you feel like you've lived and you've partied and done all the things you want to do. When you've worked your butt off, then tell me."

He added: "All my friends have babies so every time one of them says, 'Guess what, you're going to be an uncle,' part of me is so happy for them and the other part of me is jealous."

Bublé also shared in a 2011 interview: "We hope to be pregnant by next Christmas. And it makes me really excited to think about all the practicing we can do."

Congratulations to them both!
