A surrogate will deliver the twins this November.

"Big news — Deanna and I are havin' a boy and a girl,” the rocker, 30, announced via video blog. "We're very excited about that. We do have names picked out but we’re going to keep them to ourselves until further notice."

Daughtry also announced the baby news on his site in May. "Deanna and I are overjoyed about this double blessing," he wrote.

A statement posted on their site also detailed Deanna's struggle to get pregnant before they decided to work with a surrogate.

"Due to Deanna's partial hysterectomy in 2006, the couple used IVF and had their embryos transferred to a gestational surrogate."

The couple, who wed in November 2000, are also parents to Hannah, 13 (from a prior relationship of Deanna, 36), and Griffin, 11.
