It's yet-to-be confirmed, but rumours are swirling that Timbaland and his publicist partner have welcomed a baby girl.

People magazine claim the hip-hop super-producer and Monique Idlett have welcomed a baby girl, and the happy couple have announced their engagement.

A source said: "They welcomed a baby girl into the world a couple of days ago. They're both really happy together. They've known each other for years."

Timbaland had been secretly dating Idlett for two years and the 36-year-old rap mogul - real name Timothy Mosley - proposed at their baby shower last month.

The couple - neither of whom have been married before - are planning to tie the knot next year.

Reports that Timbaland was expecting a baby with a woman who works for his record label Mosley Music Group only surfaced at the beginning of the week.

It was originally claimed the pair were not together.
