From Surprise to Celebration: Sara’s Journey to Baby No. 3

Back in January, Sara Haines and her husband Max, 36, dropped the exciting news about their third baby on the way. In an exclusive interview with People, Sara opened up about the thrilling yet nerve-wracking experience. “We just figured out our one-on-one defense and now we have to move to a zone,” she joked. “Max and I are super excited while also being terrified! We are so grateful,” she added, capturing the rollercoaster of emotions that comes with expanding a family.

The Big Gender Reveal: A Twist of Fun and Drama

Fast forward to March, where Sara turned her baby gender reveal into prime-time entertainment on Strahan & Sara. “Now I get to find out if I’m having a boy or a girl right here in front of America,” Sara said, setting the stage for a dramatic moment. She attempted to uncover the gender by cutting into a cake, expecting the classic pink or blue surprise. But Sara, ever the comedian, quipped, “It’s 2019, why are we still assigning blue and pink?”

As it turned out, the cake was neither pink nor blue—it was green! Sara and her cohost were left utterly stumped. “That’s not even a color that’s been arbitrarily or absurdly assigned to sex,” Sara exclaimed, laughing at the unexpected twist. “I don’t know what to do with this!”

With the silly string spraying out purple, the suspense was almost unbearable. Would the gender remain a mystery? Enter Maury Povich to save the day. The 80-year-old host brought a touch of nostalgia, declaring, “We’re going to have to do this the old-fashioned way—my envelope.” And just like that, the Maury star pulled a blue card from the envelope, confirming the arrival of a baby boy, as matching confetti rained down on Sara.
