Metal Shock Finland reports:
"On Wednesday (November 28th), singer TARJA TURUNEN (ex-NIGHTWISH) published on her official Facebook page, a picture which caused a wild rumor mill. In the picture (see below) she holds in her arms a small baby.
“Is time to go to the airport. In few days a new tour will start in Germany :) It will be a very special one for us indeed. See you all very soon!”, Turunen wrote.
Now Turunen’s spokeswoman confirms that the woman in the picture is really Tarja Turunen, with her husband Marcelo Cabulin‘s child.
“The baby is their biological child”, Turunen spokeswoman Taija Holm confirms to Iltalehti.
The former Nightwish singer managed to keep secret her pregnancy, up to the end."
