Canadian Crooner Michael Bublé is “thrilled” to be collaborating with Hollywood star Reese Witherspoon on his new album.

There was speculation earlier this year that the pair were teaming up to record music together, and Bublé has now revealed there is truth to the rumours.

He told TV show Daybreak: “By all accounts that would be true, yeah. I am a big fan, so myself and my camp wanted to do this with her and we were thrilled that she was excited about it too. That will be a studio album next year.”

As well as working on a new record, Bublé is set to go on tour in 2013. Although he's enjoying his busy schedule at the moment, the star insists he will slow down once he has children with his wife Luisana Lopilato.

He explained: “It can’t always be like that. I won’t allow it to be like that because when I do have children my priority will be my family. My priority already is my family and I have been on that treadmill and I will continue for a couple of years and it’s not like I am going to stop but I will definitely slow down the pace so that I don’t have to hate myself for not being there for my family.”
