Lauryn Hill pregnant with sixth child

Los Angeles - Lauryn Hill is pregnant with her sixth child.

The former Fugees singer - who already has five children, Zion David-Nesta, 13, Selah, 12, Joshua, nine, John, seven, and three-year-old Sarah with on/off partner Rohan Marley - announced the news at the end of her concert at Detroit's Chene Park on June 4, although she has not revealed the father.

She told the crowd: "I'm going to be taking time off to give birth."

It is thought Lauryn, 36, is in her second trimester and will give birth later this year.

Two months ago, Lauryn told the audience at one of her shows: "I keep having these children. I don't know if I'm the most fertile woman in America."

Psychiatric help

In 2007, Lauryn's Fugees bandmate Wyclef Jean said she was in desperate need of "psychiatric help".

He said: "Lauryn Hill, Mrs Hill, The Hill, should go see a psychiatrist - period. Just seek help. At this point I really think it will take an act of God to change her, because she is that far out there."
