Just hours after announcing their pregnancy to the world, Matthew Johnson – better known as Matty J – and wife Laura Byrne gave fans another huge baby update.
On Wednesday afternoon, the reality TV couple decided to do a gender reveal on live radio with fans finding out at the same time as them.
On Byrne’s KIIS FM show The Pick Up, the couple were giddy as they discovered if their children Marlie-Mae, five, and Lola, four, were getting a brother or sister.

“Something that we’ve never done before when we’ve been pregnant is find out the gender of the baby,” Laura, 39, explained to her co-host Brittany Hockley.
“It’s always been a surprise at birth.”
But her husband, 37, was keen to find out, and she eventually agreed.
The pair made their predictions beforehand, and while both agreed they just wanted a “healthy baby” Johnson did say he’d love for a little boy to join the family.
The couple had a gender reveal cake to confirm the news, and cut a slice open to reveal…
It’s a girl!
The couple screamed with excitement, though Johnson appeared a little surprised he’d be in a house of three females.
“Am I capable of producing boys? I’m worried! Let’s go for a fourth!” he laughed after hearing the results.
“I love being a girl dad… obviously that’s matched with the feeling that I’m never having a son. I’m thrilled to have a beautiful girl!”
Byrne said she already has two names lined up, but said she was keeping her ideas quiet for now.

“And it turns out, we’re having baby number three!”
