It’s a … !
Pregnant Jessie James Decker revealed the sex of her and Eric Decker’s fourth baby on Wednesday after dropping a major hint over the weekend.
When Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager asked on the “Today” show whether the Saturday Instagram post was meant to announce a future son, Jessie confirmed the news.
“Yup, we’re having another boy,” the Kittenish creator, who is already the mother of daughter Vivianne, 9, son Eric Jr., 8, and son Forrest, 5, replied. “Vivi remains queen.”
Fans guessed as much after Jessie posed with her nephews, writing that her upcoming arrival was “gonna be BFFs” with the “little turkeys.”
The toddlers wore matching outfits in the social media upload, with Jessie holding up another pair of overalls for her little one.
Eric could be seen in the background, seemingly celebrating.
The couple have been growing their family since 2014, one year after their wedding. Beginning in 2021, Jessie has spoken in multiple interviews about her partner’s refusal to get a vasectomy.
“He says it takes his manhood away from him,” the 35-year-old told Us Weekly in January. “So he’s just gonna leave it, I guess.”
Seven months later, Jessie debuted her baby bump in a subtle pregnancy announcement via Instagram as she drank from a mug on a balcony.
“Good morning ☀️,” the expectant star captioned the social media post in August.
While Eric, 36, has not posted the news to his own account, Jessie revealed the retired NFL player’s reaction on her Instagram Story the following week.
“He thought I was playing a joke on him because … I’m such a jokester,” she recalled, adding that he requested she “physically pee again on a stick.”
The singer admitted that her “not planned” pregnancy was a “surprise” and “shocking” to them both.
When asked at the time about her partner’s refusal to get snipped, she said, “I felt like we were done. I just feel like God always has other plans. … [We are] happy excited.”
During another Q&A session the following month, she teased her gender reveal and noted that Vivianne, Eric Jr. and Forrest found out “a while ago” and had “no chill telling everybody.”
