Ty Murray: 'Jewel pregnancy a miracle'

Jewel's husband Ty Murray has described her pregnancy as "a miracle".

The couple announced that they are expecting their first child last month and have since revealed that the singer will give birth to a baby boy.

Talking to People, Murray insisted that the pair have no plans for how their son will turn out and plan to let the child pursue his own interests.

"In Jewel's profession, one in every ten million make it, and in my sport, it's so dangerous," he said.

"The thing we try to remember is that it's not up to us - it's up to him. We just want to be good, loving parents, and help him decide what his passions are."

He added: "To have achieved our dreams and goals - it's nice. And now that we got that out of the way, we feel more settled down and mature."

Jewel and Murray married in 2008.
