Daughtry and his wife, Deanna, will welcome their twins in November via a surrogate, the rocker announced on his website Monday.

"Deanna and I are overjoyed about this double blessing," he said in the statement. "Thank you for your expressions of love and support and for respecting for our privacy during this special time."

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

The new additions will join older siblings Griffin and Hannah.

Lachey and his wife, Lea, welcomed son Hudson Nicholas Lachey on Saturday in Cincinnati, his rep told People magazine. Hudson joins big sister Isabella Claire, 4.
