Matildas midfielder Katrina Gorry and fiancée Clara Markstedt have revealed they are expecting a baby boy in a heartwarming gender reveal video.
Gorry, 31, shared the news that the couple was expecting last month, but decided to reveal the gender of the new addition to their family on Tuesday via a video on social media.
The post was captioned, “I think we're boy moms now,” and showed a black and white clip of the couple detonating a confetti bomb that changed to reveal the color blue.
The video ended with Gorry's two-year-old daughter Harper throwing the blue confetti into the air.
And it didn't take long for many of her Matildas teammates to respond with well wishes, with Caitlin Foord, Mackenzie Arnold, Charli Grant, Ellie Carptener and Steph Catley all leaving messages.

Gorry and Markstedt, 34, were teammates at Swedish club Vittsjo GIK, but their next move is unknown after the striker recently retired.
Another club in Europe or the US is the likely destination, and Gorry will have no shortage of offers after excelling for Australia at the World Cup.
Ahead of the tournament on home soil, Matildas' first-ever captain Julie Dolan told Ny Breaking Australia that Gorry was even more important to the side's World Cup chances than her more high-profile teammates.
'People keep talking about the big guns like Sam (Kerr) and Ellie (Carpenter) and people like that, and that's great – they're global, household names.
'But Katrina Gorry is my favorite. You can't win without Gorry,” Dolan declared.
When it comes to baby number two for the happy couple, Markstedt will be carrying their bundle of joy this time around, after Gorry welcomed daughter Harper into the world following IVF treatment in 2021.
Earlier this year, Gorry and Markstedt announced their engagement, with plans to get married on Hamilton Island in 2025.
Gorry and Markstedt met as teammates when the Australian moved to Sweden to play for Vittsjo in 2022.
The Matildas midfielder has had Harper by her side throughout the World Cup as the team welcomed the two-year-old to their camp.
“We're going to try to keep it as traditional and beautiful as possible,” Gorry said.
“A lot of the Matildas have been my family for a long time, so they were so excited for me.
“I'd like to have them there.”
