Bryce Dallas Howard: We’re Keeping Baby’s Sex a Secret

Bryce Dallas Howard has a secret — and she’s not telling!

The actress and husband Seth Gabel have found out the sex of the baby they are currently expecting, but aren’t sharing whether 4½-year-old son Theo‘s predictions proved to be true.

“We do know — we didn’t know for a while. We just found out recently,” The Help star, 30, told ET Canada during the Restless premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. “At this point [we're telling] just family.”

Despite her “tough” start to the pregnancy, Howard admits that the tides haves changed and, based on her experience with her son, expects it to be smooth sailing to the end.

“It’s kind of euphoric. It’s the greatest, I love it,” she shares. ”The thing that every parent hopes for is that the baby’s healthy, I’m healthy. No matter how you feel, that’s the most important thing.”

And Howard is already planning for a sudden shift in her priorities once baby makes its big debut.

“Whether you intend to slow down, you slow down,” she notes. “My son will be 5 [in February] and that time is so crucial for him and as a family.”

I’n not a HUGE fan of hers, but she’s so cute in this picture, just glowing!

- kendrajoi on

@kat, that’s what I’m thinking too. She’s carrying awfully high.

She was ‘wicked’ awesome in The Help – played that villain perfectly

- JustMe on

I agree “JustMe” she played two-slice Hilly lol to perfection.

- ERICA2 on

She looks lovely. As for how she’s carrying, it has nothing to do with the sex of her child.

- Reese on

She just looks so great.

- What of it? on

Ron and Cheryl Howard have raised four lovely well-adjusted children. They should be very proud. Bryce is the once we hear about the most and she is so delightful in how she carries herself when she is interviewed. Very classy and adorable. Congratulations!

I agree with the girl predictions.

@ JessicaB

Get off your high horse.

boy!

IT’S A GIRL. When you are having a boy, it is easier to tell because of the penis which gets formed early in the life of the baby. It is harder with a girl, so if they see a penis they know by deduction weather it is a boy or a girl. Congratulations to the parents and little brother!!

- Positive on

I carried like that and had a boy.

- Carolyn on
