Get ready for some exciting news! A baby boy is on the way for Corrie's Nikki Sanderson and her partner Anthony Quinlan, and they couldn't be happier. But here's where it gets controversial... Nikki had a strong feeling she'd be a 'boy mum' from the start. Is it just a hunch, or can mothers-to-be really sense their baby's gender?
The Coronation Street actress, now 41, shared her pregnancy update on Tuesday, revealing that she and Anthony are 'over the moon' about their upcoming bundle of joy. Nikki announced her pregnancy back in December and recently asked her followers to guess the gender, but now she can confirm her initial instincts were right.
In an interview, Nikki shared, 'Anthony and I were just thrilled as long as our baby is healthy. We didn't have any specific preferences, but deep down, I always felt like I'd be holding a baby boy.' Her family also seemed to agree, and now it's clear why!
Nikki added, 'Anthony's over the moon because he'll have a mini Manchester United fan in the family!' The couple has been dating since early 2022 and publicly announced their relationship in April of that year. Anthony, a former Hollyoaks and Emmerdale star, now runs an online fitness business and is eagerly awaiting the arrival of their 'little team of three.'
In a recent Instagram video, Nikki pointed to either 'boy' or 'girl' as she asked her followers to predict the gender. She also shared some fun details about her pregnancy journey, including her sweet cravings, morning sickness, and that 'pregnancy glow.'
So, what do you think about Nikki's gender prediction journey? Is it just a fun guess, or can mothers-and-to-be really sense their baby's gender? We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments!
And this is the part most people miss... Nikki and Anthony's baby is due in the spring, so we'll soon find out if their instincts were right! Stay tuned for more updates on this adorable couple's journey to parenthood.
