Jennifer Nettles is going to be a mom.

The Sugarland singer/Duets mentor and her entrepreneur husband, Justin Miller, will welcome their first child in November, around the time of their first wedding anniversary.

"They are thrilled beyond belief," Sugarland's manager, Gail Gellman, told People.

Bandmate Kristian Bush joined the well-wishers on Twitter, saying: "Congratulations @JenniferNettles on becoming a mom. I love you."

A minute later the father of two followed up with: "PS @JenniferNettles: Fresh off my Father's Day momentum... I am available for advice. :)"

Nettles responded to Bush and others with: "Thanks for all the love and well wishes from fans, friends, radio friends and industry friends! Y'all are the best and so supportive! Love!"

Before her bundle arrives, Nettles is keeping busy with her mentoring duties on ABC's Duets, the network's televised singing competition that pairs the celebrity judges with amateurs. Duets will air this week at 8:30 p.m. Wednesday on ABC.
