Feb. 28 [20:00 EST] -- Lauryn Hill of the Fugees told MTV News on Thursday that she is expecting a child.

Hill, who was in New York's Hit Factory recording studio taking part in an all star R&B session to benefit the "Red Hot" AIDS charity, told MTV News that she is indeed pregnant.

"I see birth, motherhood, as a benediction. So I'm just blessed with another responsibility," Hill said.

Hill also noted that she is very much in love, and is planning to get married.
