Jessica’s pregnancy news comes after it was reported that The Pussycat Dolls are reportedly about to sign a new management deal.
The girl group impressed music executives with the success of their comeback hit React and are speaking with several US firms, The Sun reports.
Although the band announced their launch back into the music scene in 2019, they had to reschedule their reunion tour twice amid the coronavirus pandemic.
It is now alleged that the girl group has piqued the interest of Madonna and Britney Spears’ management company Maverick and is also in talks with other major firms.
A source said: ‘The pandemic has hampered the plans for The Pussycat Dolls, but as far as they are concerned, they are all eager to get going once it is safe to do so.
This new team is great news for them and they have a handful of songs they want to release when they can all get back together safely.
“ With half of the group in the UK and the other half in the US, it’s tough, but they are committed to releasing some singles in 2021. ”
