Brooke Vincent confirms baby's gender with just weeks to go before birth

Brooke Vincent has revealed she's having another baby boy as she prepares to give birth to her second child.

Coronation Street star Brooke already has son Mexx with her Sheffield United footballer boyfriend Kean Bryan.

Brooke, 28, said the couple were looking forward to having a boy so close to 15-month-old Mexx's age and she hoped her sons would become "best friends for life" - reports Mirror Online.

On her Instagram story she said : “We did. We are having another boy. We never found out with Mexx & this time we just said why not.

"To be honest I’ve enjoyed both pregnancies, with having found out and not.

“It’s nice to know I’m having a boy and he will be so close in age to Mexx hopefully they will be little besties."

During her first pregnancy , Brooke and Kean decided not to find out the gender of the baby.

Initially the couple had planned to wait to find out the gender of their baby like they did the first time round.

However, the pregnant star opened up to fans about why she and her lover had a change of heart about finding out the gender.

Brooke said the couple made the spur-of-the-moment decision to find out on the way to their 20 week scan.

And she confessed it left Kean feeling "panicked" and "dramatic" but Brooke concluded they were both happy they chose to find out.

She wrote in response to a fan question: “We was literally on our way to our 20 week scan and I just said shall we find out.

“@kean8 panicked & got dramatic and said he needed time & I can’t just spring that onto him. We then spent the journey going through the pros and cons and when she asked we just said yes!

“It was nice to be honest and also made both pregnancy journeys different.”

Brooke is expecting her second son to arrive in the spring.

The Dancing on Ice star has been documenting every moment of her pregnancy with her fans on Instagram after she broke the news of her baby joy to the world.
