Stevie Wonder already has a name picked out for his unborn child

Los Angeles - Stevie Wonder is planning to name his unborn daughter Nia.

The 64-year-old singer and girlfriend Tomeeka Robyn Bracy, who were rumoured to be expecting triplets next year, have confirmed they will welcome one "wonderful" baby girl into the world in December.

Speaking on The View on Wednesday, the Superstition hitmaker said: "The truth is we're going to have a wonderful daughter, to be born in December, name is going to be Nia, which is 'purpose.'"

Stevie also couldn't resist poking fun at the rumours, adding: "I got, how many, 22 kids?"

The legendary singer, who was married to Karen 'Kai' Millard Morris from 2001 until 2012 and Syreeta Wright from 1970 to 1972, already has eight children, ranging in age from one to 39, from five different relationships.

Stevie is said to have told friends he regrets not being present for some of his children when they were younger, but is now very close to all of them.

A source said: "Aisha (his oldest) enjoys her dad quite a bit, they get together and eat and joke."

''He's been helping his son, Mumtaz with some of his music and he always talks about how talented his son is.

"He knows that being a father is a full-time job and now that he's a little older, he feels like he's up to the task and he doesn't want to let any of them down."
