Megan Boone is expecting a baby girl. The 32-year-old "Blacklist" actress, expecting her first child with Boston-based artist Dan Estabrook, broke the news about her baby's gender during an appearance on "Live! With Kelly and Michael" Monday morning.
"I haven't told anyone yet, but I'm going to have a girl," Boone, who is five months into her pregnancy, told co-hosts Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan. "[Estabrook]'s in trouble."
Boone also confirmed the gender news on Instagram with a sweet pic of a teddy bear. She captioned the post: "Thank you for my daughter's bear @kellyripa and @michaelstrahan - you two are the kindest and I love coming to see you."
And there's more good news from Boone - the actress revealed she and Estabrook are engaged. According to Boone, the engagement happened around the same time as her pregnancy, telling the morning hosts, "We definitely were in it for the long haul when we made a human."
The baby and marriage will be the first for the couple. The soon-to-be new mom also opened up about the usual cravings that pregnant women have.
"The coolest thing about pregnancy for me is your body just craves what it wants. Also, you can just be like, 'I'm just going to eat this because I'm pregnant," said Boone. "I'll have that extra piece of cake... For instance, yesterday, I really wanted a steak salad and some lemongrass soup, together. I guess I just needed it?"
As for whether her pregnancy will be written into a plotline for her "Blacklist" character, FBI Agent Elizabeth Keen, Boone could neither confirm nor deny the reports. As previously reported by HNGN, Boone will be approaching her due date as production on Season 3 wraps up, but it is unclear if she will be missing any episodes due to her pregnancy.
"There are a lot of ways to hide a pregnancy," she said, citing Kerry Washington's pregnancy as a prime example.
