Clearing up rumors about Seal and Heidi Klum's new baby

Rumors are flying today that Seal has announced that he and Heidi Klum‘s new baby will be a boy. However, this is untrue. Seal and Heidi have never revealed the sexes of any of their children before the birth – in fact, they were rumored to not even have found out what Henry was until the delivery!

The rumor began when Heidi’s father told Bunte, the homepage for all things in German entertainment, that he knew the sex of his new grandchild, but could not share. Bunte then checked with a doctor, who said that the only way the family would know what the sex was this early in the pregnancy was if the baby was a boy (which is of course, untrue, especially as Heidi is at least 4 1/2 months along).

Seal did mention at a recent German concert that, "The little one is coming by the end of the year." This will be the third child for the pair, also parents to Leni, 2, and Henry, 10 months.

On the Tonight Show, Heidi said she thought the baby was probably a girl, from the way she was carrying. I really hope it is a girl; she would be so cute!

Just to let you know, with my last son we had the Nuchal Fold Screening at 12 weeks via ultrasound and could definitely tell it was a boy then ~ so it is possible that Heidi + Seal could know by now depending on prenatal screening (if they had any done!). I hope they have a healthy baby!

I want to see a little girl of theirs..I think Leni would love a little sister, and Henry can still be the brother…and the protector…

Natalie, I wasn’t trying to imply that they couldn’t know – just that the doctor was wrong in saying that the only way they COULD know was if it was a boy.

Julia Roberts found out the sexes of her twins at 9 weeks!

I don’t know much more but Seal did speak that sentence in german. And in german the articles make a difference.
He said “Der Kleine” which means it’s a boy. “Das Kleine” would be neutral, “Die Kleine” would mean, it’ll be a girl.

So he definetly said it’s a boy, but of course there’s the possibility that he mixed up the articles, as he’s still learning.

Anyways, no matter what gender it will be, most importantly it should be a healthy baby.

interesting.. according to a Seal fan who was the at the concert Seal the der kleine kommt.. which means like you said the boy is coming.. but she translating to the small child is comming…so its maybe a matter of pronuanciation. Anyways, I am still holding out hope that the baby will be a girl.

As I don’t believe that Heidi and Seal have chosen to find out the sex of the baby. She has said in several reports that it doesn’t matter to her as long as the baby is healthy.

I think it would be nice for this one to be a girl, because then Henry would have less a risk at middle child syndrome, since he’d still have the advantage of being the only boy (so long as they stop at 3 that is). I always said I hope that if I have 3 kids, my middle one is the different gender. I have one boy now, so if I had a girl next then another boy, I would be in Heaven! In the end all we all care about is that they’re healthy but I think everyone has their ideal family.
