Bethenny Frankel is pregnant.

The "Real Housewives of NYC" star confirmed the news on her Twitter account on Tuesday.

"I'm pregnant," she wrote.

But revealing the news wasn't something the natural food chef, who is only two months along, wanted to do.

"I had to be true w u but was unfairly forced to come forward early," she Tweeted.

Bethenny claims she had to confirm the news publicly after Perez Hilton reported that sources told the celebrity blogger the brunette was pregnant.

But the reality star, who is newly engaged to boyfriend Jason Hoppy, the baby's father, wasn't ready to spill the news this early.

"It's premature to be telling people this," she told People as she held back tears.

Most women refrain from announcing baby news until after the first trimester and Bethenny, 38, was hoping to follow that plan.

"I haven't even gone through my first trimester," she told the mag. "We haven't even heard the heartbeat. My [fiance's] parents didn't even know."

The child will be the first for Bethenny and she is still worried about what could happen.

"I am praying everything is OK, but I don't know that yet," she said.

Still, she and Hoppy are "both so excited" over the news.

    I thought she was around 50. She looks much older than 38. I am also confused as to how she is was on the housewifes of NY?? She wasn't married and had no kids so what the heck??!

    I'm glad for her, but why did she NEED to confirm it? Just because some loser with a blog says it's true, ultimately it's her decision to confirm, deny or just plain ignore...I certainly hope she isn't this easily influenced by outside comments and sources when it comes to raising the little squirt...

    Good for her, she needs a life. She's aging horribly, and I was beginning to pity her "Im so old and desperate" act. Betheny was starting to worry me for a while. She started going around, incorrectly critiquing the grammar of others, and wearing hideous ensembles. I hope she has a successful pregnancy, and that this new fiancee actually marries her.

    perez needs to mind his own business! I'm happy for Bethanny and Hoppy. I understand being PG and she should have been able to tell when she felt like it was time.I hope we get to see it on the show it would be fun to see them go through the PG and wedding plans.
