Beyonce will be an "incredible" mum, Kelly Rowland has predicted.

According to the X Factor judge and Beyonce's former Destiny's Child bandmate, the singer will be a "natural" mother.

"I think she'll be an incredible mother, because she's always been motherly.

"I think that she takes after so many traits from her mother.

"And I just think it's going to be so natural for her. It's natural for her now!" Kelly told People.com. 

The singer revealed that Beyonce and rapper husband Jay-Z have already started talking about baby names for their first child, and that the baby news didn't come as a surprise to her.

"I have known for quite a while, and she's happy, and Jay is happy, and that's all that counts," the TV star added.
