Mark-Paul Gosselaar has a secret — but he’s not sharing!

The Franklin & Bash actor and his wife Catriona McGinn have found out the sex of their first child together, but the couple have decided to keep it under wraps until the September delivery.

“We have two names in the running,” Gosselaar, 39, tells PEOPLE.

Fortunately, the future father-of-three — Gosselaar is also dad to Ava, 7, and Michael, 9, from his previous marriage — doesn’t need to divulge too many details in order to solicit suggestions from his costar Beckin Meyer.

“Breckin Gosselaar, that’s unisex. It can be a boy or girl,” he says, prompting Gosselaar to admit the name has “a ring to it.”

Living in Miami, life is certainly a beach for Jeffrey Donovan — and the new dad is extremely excited to share it all with his baby girl.

Set to show her the shore this weekend, Sunday will mark two milestones for Donovan’s family: his first Father’s Day and his 6-month-old daughter’s first seaside adventure.

“We’re going to find a little beach that has this little protective lagoon so she can swim for the first time,” the Burn Notice star, 45, tells PEOPLE exclusively. “We got this little baby raft … [we'll] float her around and let her experience the ocean.”

And if his little one is as quick in the water as she is on land, she’ll be sure to keep her proud parents on their toes. “She’s already yelling out, ‘Dada, dada,’ and crawling on every piece of furniture. She’s a little acrobat,” Donovan says.

Gavin Rossdale has officially given wife Gwen Stefani‘s signature bright red lips his seal of approval.

In fact, the Bush frontman is more than happy to sport a little of her crimson color on his own skin every once in a while.

“No, I don’t worry about [getting Gwen's lipstick on me]. There’s plenty of ways [to get it off] — soap and water is fine. It’s all worth it!” Rossdale, 47, joked to Ryan Seacrest on Thursday.

But the supportive husband — who returns to the big screen in The Bling Ring, in theaters Friday — isn’t all about kiss and tell when it comes to Stefani.

According to Rossdale, the mother of his two sons Kingston, 7, and Zuma, 4½, also takes the cake for her holiday planning skills.

Mom Said It

"It helps that other moms had said that once they had their babies, they forgot they were ever pregnant. So once my focus became the baby and not the pregnancy, it was a very easy decision."
