Jesse McCartney Gets Emotional as He and Pregnant Wife Katie Peterson Reveal Sex of First Baby: 'No Way!'
Jesse McCartney is going to be a boy dad!
The "Beautiful Soul" singer, 37, and his wife Katie Peterson, 37, enlisted the help of their dog Bailey for their sex reveal, which they uploaded on Instagram on Tuesday, March 4. The couple, who wed in a beautiful outdoor ceremony in 2021, sat outside with Bailey on a neutral-colored blanket with a sign reading "boy or girl" placed at the front.
"You're going to be a big sister," McCartney told Bailey, before the two began counting down from three. Then, they closed their eyes and opened the picnic basket in front of them to reveal the baby's sex.
As soon as McCartney saw the blue collar, his mouth dropped open and his hand flew into the air, before pumping his fist in the air and saying, "It's a boy! No way!" The happy couple embraced at the end of the video, relishing in the exciting news as McCartney sweetly became teary-eyed.

Caitlin Clark, Lexie Hull's Priceless Exchange Before Chicago Sky Game
Caitlin Clark, Lexie Hull's Priceless Exchange Before Chicago Sky Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Indiana Fever are on their way to Chicago to play against the Chicago Sky on Saturday at the United Center. Advertisement On Friday evening, the Fever's official Instagram account shared a reel showing players walking to the team's coach bus while answering a fun question: which teammate would they want to sit next to for the three-hour road trip from Indianapolis to Chicago? The video ended with answers from guards Lexie Hull and Caitlin Clark, who walked to the bus together. "Obviously..." Clark said with a smile while putting her arm around Hull's shoulder. Hull laughed and smiled, then said "awwww" in response. "Easy answer," the Iowa alum added. "We're obviously about to go sit right next to each other." Hull commented on the reel minutes after it was posted, "bestie!!! @caitlinclark22," and Clark responded twenty minutes later with "@lexiehulll 🩷we actually love each other everyone." Though they often throw shade at each other on social media, such as the 23-year-old making fun of Hull's favorite weird food combo, it's all out of love. The duo have been close friends since Clark joined the Fever in 2024, and have a great chemistry and friendship on and off the court.
