Pregnant Saturdays’ star Una Foden and her husband Ben are expecting a baby boy when she gives birth next spring, the singer has revealed.
Speaking in an interview last week, the 33-year-old said she had a suspicion that her unborn child would be a girl, but rugby union player Ben knew from “the moment they conceived” that it would be a son. Which must have been a lovely post-coital conversation, mustn’t it.
“I was convinced I was carrying a girl, mainly because this pregnancy is so similar to last time,” Una said.
“I was actually a little bit taken aback when we found out we were going to have a son. But now I'm over the moon and can't wait to meet our little boy.”
The couple – who have been together since 2008 after his agent emailed her agent about them going on a date – also have two-year-old daughter Aoife Belle, who’s already relishing her role as big sister.
“Una shows [Aoife] her tummy and tells her there’s a baby in there and she kisses it,” explained Ben.
“She sort of understands. She’s really good with other kids. I think she’s desperate to have a brother or sister to play with.”
Cute. As with her first pregnancy, Una’s showing no signs of slowing down just yet and looks likely to continue working with the rest of the band throughout her three trimesters.
“Going on that big tour performing every night on stage is a big ask for someone who is carrying a child so I couldn’t be prouder,” added Ben.
