Professor Green revealed his girlfriend Karima McAdams is pregnant with their first child.
The musician was delighted to share the news with his fans on Instagram on Friday.
Pro Green admitted it had become "impossible to hide" the news of their baby joy.
In a gushing note, the dad-to-be confessed he was "overwhelmed with excitement, admiration and curiosity ever since we found out".
Accompanying the news was a picture of Pro Green in the bath while his girlfriend showed off her baby bump.
In the second sweet snap, the couple puckered up to kiss as they leaned in towards each other.
The couple first fell in love in the summer of 2009.
His full post read: "And then, all of a sudden everything is different. It all makes sense.
"It’s finally gotten to the point where it’s impossible to hide, and unless I wanted to wear prosthetics (which Karima did try to enforce - she wanted to give me a nose like Cyrano De Bergerac?! Some sort of drama school fantasy... obviously I was having none of it) there was no more sneaking into appointments - not even during the current climate, having to wear a mask and keeping my hood up with the strings pulled tight has stopped me from getting caught out at the hospital (but big up the security for keeping it shtum! Solid ).
"I’ve been overwhelmed with excitement, admiration and curiosity ever since we found out. I’m excited about meeting you. Holding you. Teaching you. Learning from you.
"Never have I admired anyone as much as I have your mamma. She’s nothing short of remarkable, remarkable in fact is an understatement. To see the body change in such a way is fascinating, incredible, unbelievable, amazing, ASTOUNDING. Weird. Ridley Scott had to get his inspiration from somewhere...
"I feel a bite useless sometimes, pedestrianised; left to spectate from the sin bin as each phase plays out. It’s humbling; never do our strengths as men compare to that of a woman. I’m awestruck. Subservient (albeit reluctantly at times).
"I’m curious about everything to come; about who and how you’ll be, what you’ll look and sound like... and who’ll be the stricter parent.
"A friend told me the best thing you can do for your own anxiety is to have a child. It sort of made sense at the time, it doesn’t anymore; THIS HAS BEEN WILD.
"My understanding of mortality and just how fragile life is have grown exponentially. Wishing you all (and hoping for) a very joyous and healthy 2021. Happy new year."
Professor Green was previously married to Millie Mackintosh of Made In Chelsea fame.
