Rebecca Adlington and boyfriend share that they’re having a baby boy

Rebecca Adlington and her boyfriend have shared the gender of their baby.

Pregnant Rebecca and boyfriend Andy Parsons are set to welcome a boy, their first baby together.

Due on 27th February, the couple told Hello! about how they found out the gender during a scan.

“He was on his back with his legs wide open showing us his full package,” Rebecca beamed, “I couldn’t stop laughing. It was such a funny, joyous moment.”

It’s their first child together, while Rebecca shares daughter Summer, five, with ex-husband Harry Needs.

They added that they’ve always felt like they would have boy.

Rebecca continued: “I feel different this time.

I’m bigger and I’ve been craving carbs and savoury things, not sweet things like I did with Summer.”

Rebecca and Andy first struck up a romance two years back, after meeting on popular dating app Bumble.

They now live just ten minutes from Rebecca’s ex Harry, so that they can co-parent little Summer together.

And they faced reports that Harry was living with them during lockdown.

“We used to meet up with Harry for a dog walk but we weren’t living together,” Rebecca explained.

“We explained this to the press who contacted us at the time but they wrote it anyway. We shared Summer during lockdown and had her three days each; she adjusted really well.”

And amid her great relationship with her ex, she revealed that Harry couldn’t be happier for her and Andy.

“Harry is really excited about the baby,” she gushed, “He has always known I wanted more kids and he was really happy for Andy and offered to help if he needs any tips. He’s been brilliant.
