The news of the baby's gender comes after Lucy teased her followers on Instagram, telling them herself and Ryan had gone to find out the gender, but hadn't yet opened the notes to find out whether it was a boy or girl!

Holding the envelope, Lucy said, "OMG my gender results. I want to open it so bad. It's going to kill me this. I'm going to hide it somewhere. Can someone pick it up and hide it for me?"
