Baby Boy On the Way for Jane Carrey!

The next few months will be a whirlwind beginning to a new life for Jane Carrey, and the 22-year-old singer couldn’t be more ready. Due with her first child on March 3rd, Jane reveals to Entertainment Tonight Canada that she and her fiancé Alex Santana are thrilled to be welcoming a baby boy — whom they’ll be naming Jackson Riley — come spring.
“I’m excited about it because I never really got along with girls growing up,” she explains. “I was a little afraid that if it was a girl that she would not like me, you know? So I’m very happy about the boy.”
Before the baby carriage arrives, however, Jane and Blood Money rocker Alex will tie the knot in a “not too fancy, very laid back and cool” wedding later this month.
According to the mama-to-be the countdown is officially on! “It kind of dawned on us three weeks ago that we still had a bunch to plan before the wedding, so now we’re [rushing] to get things done, but it’ll work,” she says. “It’ll be the day before the wedding and we’ll find out everything’s okay.”
While last-minute details are still up in the air, Jane insists that one thing is for certain: her father, actor Jim Carrey, will be on hand to walk her down the aisle! “Of course he is, he better!” she laughs.
And while marriage and baby may be happening in conjunction, Jane says it was a simple coincidence. “[Alex] asked me to marry him and then I found out that we were going to have a baby. The baby wasn’t planned exactly, but our future was,” she explains. “It was going to be in there somewhere, we just didn’t know when.”
Finishing up her second trimester, the Jane Carrey Band singer — who craved red meat and onions and not much else the first month of her pregnancy — has moved past her aversion to food and admits that lately, she will devour anything in her path. “It’s not really a specific anything, it’s just more like, ‘Food now, thank you very much,’” she laughs.
To that end, Jane has developed a hankering for donuts!
“I’ll smell donuts when donuts are nowhere near and I’ll be like, ‘Who’s got donuts?’ There’s no donuts in the building.”
In an effort to keep the extra calories in check, Jane has taken up prenatal Pilates, but laughs that the routines have yet to show results in her favor! “I’m trying to stay in fairly good shape, but it’s not working very well because everything still doesn’t fit,” she confesses. “I do Pilates and then I go to the gym three times a week when I can for the most part…so that my butt doesn’t fall down on the floor.”

Determined to balance motherhood with her music career, Jane — who shares that baby boy is “already drumming right now” — is ready for the challenge that the combination has to offer. Hopeful that she will be “at peace enough” to juggle the responsibilities, she says she is finally achieving her goals.
“I’ve always wanted to be a mother…and I’ve always wanted to do music, so to have the two together, it’s just awesome. It’s a dream come true.”
Although she relies on her famous father for emotional support — “He’s been wonderful. He helps me with my music career a lot, which is really nice,” she shares — Jane stands on her own two feet when it comes to financial independence. In addition to her singing career, the expectant mom is waiting tables to make ends meet.
“Everyone’s got bills. I have my own family so we support ourselves. We have our own little family that we got started now and [we're] saving up!”
That said, Jane reveals the proud grandpa-to-be has already hinted about having his daughter and her boys join him at home!
“He’s so excited. Both my parents are so excited, they keep calling me [to say], ‘I can’t wait to have a little rugrat running around the house.’ My dad [says], ‘The house is so full of life when children are here. I miss you living here.’ I’m like, ‘That’s not going to happen again!’”
