British Olympic diver Tom Daley and his
Oscar-winning director husband, Dustin Lance Black, have revealed the
sex of their baby.
The couple announced they were having a
baby on Valentine's Day.
“We're gonna have a little boy,”
Daley, 23, said during an appearance on Fearne
Cotton's Happy Place
podcast.
The couple met in 2013 and married last
May.

Black, 43, explained that the couple
does not know who the biological father is.
“We did it in a way that we cannot
know for as long as we'd like to not know,” he said.
Daley said that they wanted a child
“more than anything in the world” and hopes that their baby's
surrogate will be involved in the child's life.
Daily Mail columnist Richard
Littlejohn criticized the couple's decision to have a baby, asking
readers to “pass the sick bag.”
“When people judge about us using a
surrogate, there are lots of people in this world that can't have
kids, whether it's due to fertility issues or health issues, whatever
it may be. I don't think there would be as much drama if it was a
straight couple,” Daley said.
“I was shocked to have this response
to us having a child,” Black added.
