Jules Robinson Defends Baby Girl Decision Amid Backlash

 has spoken out about her decision to employ a 'gender expert' in her attempt to ensure her third child is a girl. 

The Married At First Sight star shares sons Ollie, five, and Carter, one, with her husband , who she met on the show.

Dreaming of having a baby girl, the 44-year-old enlisted a 'gender swaying' practitioner in the hopes of fulfilling her wish. 

Gender swaying experts, often taking the form of  naturopaths, use a science-based approach that includes studying biochemistry and hormones in order to build preconception plans to produce a baby of a couple's desired sex. 

Robinson admits that she had faced backlash online after openly admitting on social media that she wanted her next child to be a girl - but she insists her desire is natural for mothers. 

'I'm just saying the quiet part out loud, women have these conversations with their friends all the time,' Robinson told Nine on Tuesday. 

She insisted that she would be happy with another boy, but didn't see the harm in stacking her odds with available therapies. 

'If I hold that child and it's a little boy. Oh my god, I'm going to love him more than anything; of course, I will,' she said. 

'I'm just saying that if there's any power that Cam and I have, naturally, to sway the baby to be a girl, then we're going to try that.' 

Jules says that the process of working with a gender expert has been 'intense' and revealed she has been taking part in the program for six months.  

'I meet with her every single month and then on the 10th day of my cycle, I go and have a blood test done, which reads my hormone levels,' she explained. 

'Then you try to conceive before ovulation, because female sperm live a lot longer than male. So the idea is that the female sperm will still be there and you conceive.'

They married for real later that year, and went on to welcome their first son in 2020, and their second in 2024.
