Stevie Wonder is having another child -- but just one, not triplets.

The “Superstition” singer set the record straight during a Wednesday appearance on “The View.”

Earlier this week, Page Six reported that the Grammy winner and his girlfriend, Tomeeka Robyn Bracy, were expecting triplets, which would bring his offspring total to 11 kids with five different women.

That report turned out to be false. In fact, he’s expecting baby No. 9, minus Nos. 10 and 11, he told Whoopi Goldberg and the rest of “The View” crew.

“Whoopi, it’s so hard for me these days,” the legendary piano player joked. “That’s why I’m going on the road. I’ve got how many -- 22 kids? No, actually it’s not true.”

The 64-year-old, real name Stevland Morris, is already dad to eight kids ranging in age from 1 to 39, according to various reports.

“The truth is we’re going to have a wonderful daughter, born in December. Her name is going to be Nia, which is ‘purpose,” the soul star explained. “And rumors spread. Like I said in the song ‘Superstition,’ ‘When you believe in things you don’t understand, you suffer.’ So, you know, it’s a bunch of a bull.”

Wonder and Bracy, 40, already have one child together -- the singer’s youngest. He has two children from his 11-year marriage to second ex-wife Kai Millard Morris, and has fathered five others with ex-girlfriends.

Singer Aisha Morris, his daughter with Yolanda Simmons, is the child who inspired his exultant hit “Isn’t She Lovely.”
