Laura Byrne has revealed the gender of her third child with Matty ‘J’ Johnson.
The former Bachelor star, 39, revealed the news by cutting into a gender reveal cake live on her KIIS FM The Pick Up radio show on Wednesday, just hours after announcing her pregnancy.
‘It’s a girl,’ Laura squealed as she removed a slice of white sponge that contained layers of pink icing.
‘Oh my god, you’re having a third little baby girl,’ said co-host Brittany Hockley shocked, before adding, ‘Congratulations’.
‘Am I capable of producing boys?’ replied husband Matty, before adding, ‘Let’s go again. Let’s go for a fourth.’
‘We’re so lucky to have three little girls – and three little sisters, it’s going to be amazing,’ said Laura, before Matty admitted he ‘loves being a girl dad’

Laura announced her pregnancy news on her podcast, Life Uncut, which she co-hosts with fellow reality star Brittany Hockley.
‘It turns out, we’re having baby number three!’ she declared.
‘I’m pregnant guys!’
Laura revealed she is currently 18 weeks pregnant, two weeks short of the half-way mark.
‘It is a Christmas miracle. We had a really small window. I have known for a very long time. I found out very early on in this pregnancy, not because I had any symptoms but because my friend made a comment that made me do a pregnancy test,’ she explained.
Laura explained she took a pregnancy test while Matty was filming I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! in South Africa but did not tell him the news until she was two and a half months pregnant.
‘I wasn’t able to tell Matt for ages. The whole time he was in the jungle, I wasn’t able to tell him and then it was really tricky because I didn’t want to tell him when it was the finale,’ she explained.
‘I didn’t want to tell him as soon as the show, because I don’t know if you guys remember, but the show wasn’t filmed live this year, so we did the finale over there.’
Matt also made an announcement on his Two Doting Dads podcast, telling listeners: ‘[It’s] an October baby. We were trying before I went into the jungle. The plan was, we said this year 2025, if we were going to have a third, this will be the year that it happens.

‘I’m conscious that Marlie and Lola are really close together, they’re about 18 months [apart] and Lola just turned four, so I was like if it doesn’t happen this year, it’s a big gap… We want the third child to still be friends with Marlie and Lola.’
Laura also posted a video to Instagram of her youngest daughter Lola, four, sharing the exciting news with fans.
‘I’ve got a baby in my mum’s tummy and I tried to get it out. I’m so so so so excited. I really want the baby to come out but it’s not,’ Lola says.
‘We are SO SO SO EXCITED!!!! Johnson #3 under construction,’ Laura captioned the video.
Many followers flocked to the comments to congratulate the couple on their exciting news.
‘This is how I want all good news delivered from now on,’ one person wrote.
‘What exciting news for you all! And a FABULOUS announcement,’ a second person commented.
Laura revealed she is currently 18 weeks pregnant and will be halfway through her pregnancy in the next two weeks time

The couple share daughters Marlie-Mae, who they welcomed in 2019, and Lola, who was born in 2021.
