Bachelor star Laura Byrne reveals gender of her baby after announcing she is expecting her third child with husband 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,' added Laura, before Matty admitted he 'loves being a girl dad'.

'Am I capable of producing boys?' replied husband Matty, before adding, 'Let's go again. Let's go for a fourth.'
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
'She's adorable and going to be the best big sister. ❤️❤️❤️ Congratulations!!!' a third commented. 'Omg this is wonderful news,' another added, while one said: 'Omggggg amazing!!! Congratulations!!!!!'
The couple share daughters Marlie-Mae, who they welcomed in 2019, and Lola, who was born in 2021.
Laura appeared on The Bachelor Australia in 2017 and met her now-husband, and father to her two children, Matty.
In April 2019, they announced their engagement.

Snezana Wood steps out wearing unusual bandage as she runs errands with daughter Eve in Melbourne
Snezana Wood was doing a supermarket run with her daughter Eve Markoski-Wood on Monday. The former Bachelor star was sporting an unusual accessory in the form of a square bandage on her neck. The 44-year-old appeared a tad tired as she popped into the local shops in Elsternwick with her teen in tow. Snezana was casually chic in a white shirt underneath a dark wool trench coat, and had on a pair of blue jeans. She opted for a natural makeup look with some winged eyeliner and a soft pink lipstick. It's unclear why the former reality star, who recently dyed her hair to an auburn tone, was wearing the bandage on her neck. Eve, 19, matched her mum, wearing a black and blue ensemble consisting of a loose jumper and jeans. The pair left a Coles supermarket, each carrying a brown paper bag containing their purchases. The sighting comes after Eve opened up about her biological father in a rare and deeply personal public moment that has since gone viral. The teenager broke down in tears during an interview with Dose of Society, which was shared to the popular Instagram page's 1.7 million followers earlier this month. In the raw and unfiltered video, Eve was asked: 'What is the most painful thing anyone has ever said to you?' Her candid response left viewers stunned: 'Probably that I don't deserve the life I'm living.' Wiping away tears, the Melbourne-based teen explained it was her biological dad, Jason Rapoff, who made the comment. 'I don't know why he said that to me. I grew up just with my mum,' she continued. 'She raised me to be the woman I am today. He wanted to see my mum suffer. And I think when he saw that my mum had built a life for both of us, it was just more of a reaction.' Eve revealed she hasn't seen her biological father in eight years and that he was largely absent from her childhood. 'He was never around when I was little, so it was just my mum and I. I was very close to my mum's side. 'Everyone was there to support me. But I think he just did some things a while back that ended him in places he shouldn't have been in. He just got involved with the wrong people,' she said. The heartfelt clip quickly racked up hundreds of thousands of views and comments, with fans flooding the comments section with support and admiration for Eve's strength. When asked what she would say to her mum today, Eve fought back tears again. 'How proud I am of her,' she replied. 'She's done a lot. She sacrificed a lot. She was working nine to five, and after that going to uni. 'She ended up getting her bachelor's in molecular genetics and biology. Seeing how strong she is, how much strength she's got to keep going through all of this - it makes me proud to be my mother's daughter.' Eve, who has grown up largely in the spotlight after Snezana found love with Sam Wood on The Bachelor in 2015, later commented under the clip, offering further insight into how hard it was to speak so vulnerably on camera. 'Thank you so much for letting me share my story,' she wrote. 'I was nervous about how this would be received, especially being vulnerable on social media, knowing how harsh it can be. But the kindness and messages I've received have meant more than I can explain.' Snezana and Jason's short-lived marriage lasted a year before the pair separated in 2005, when Eve was just two months old.
