Lucy-Jo Hudson is expecting a baby boy.
The former \'Hollyoaks\' actress and her boyfriend Lewis Devine are due to welcome a baby into the world in February, and the ex-\'Coronation Street\' star admits she had a feeling they would have a son.
Lucy-Jo - who has six-year-old daughter Sienna-Rae with her ex and fellow former \'Corrie\' co-star Alan Halsall - said: "I knew it was a boy from the start! I would have been so surprised if it wasn\'t.
"My bump is lower with this little one and everything has been so different, with cravings and morning sickness."
Speaking in a joint interview with OK! magazine, Lewis said: "I would have been happy either way but I\'m very excited for a boy.
"It\'s a son to carry on the family name."
Lucy-Jo Hudson - who portrayed Donna-Marie Quinn on \'Hollyoaks\' from July 2018 until April this year - confirmed in August that she is expecting.
She wrote on Instagram: "This has been so hard to keep quiet but today was the day @lewisdevine and I got to tell Sienna the best news!!! We are 13 weeks pregnant and so very excited to extend our little family....
"Sienna is so excited to be a big sister.... and Lew is ecstatic to become a daddy for the first time and I am so happy to be having another gorgeous baby! No other feeling like it (sic)"
Lucy-Jo and Lewis - who she starred opposite in 2017 panto \'Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs\' - were romantically linked last year, following her split from Alan, who she married in 2009.
A source said at the time: "After trying for months, she and Alan called time on their marriage and something slowly developed with Lewis."
Alan and Lucy-Jo first split in 2016 and in May of that year she revealed they were trying to save their marriage.
She said: "Al and I did keep talking through our four months apart and recently we started spending times trying to work things through together, as we know we both want to save our marriage. Love, Lucy-Jo."
Despite a reconciliation, the pair called it quits on their union last year.
Alan (Tyrone Dobbs) has since moved on with former \'Corrie\' actress Tisha Merry, who played Steph Britton from 2013 to 2018.
