Good Morning America weekend co-anchor Janai Norman announced live on air that she's expecting her third child.
The presenter, 33 - who's already a parent to two children with her husband - shared the news with colleagues and viewers on the ABC show yesterday morning (April 30).
Her colleagues are understood to have instead been expecting an announcement about the educational animal show Oh Baby!, which she currently hosts on the network.
Sharing the news with them, Janai commented: "We talk about baby animals, but this [news], it's about our favouite types of babies, human babies. I'm having another one."
The announcement seemed to come as a surprise to her colleagues on the show, who expressed excitement before colourful confetti came down from the ceiling of the studio.
Moments before the confetti fell, her co-anchor Whit Johnson, 40, was heard saying to Janai: "What? Are you kidding me? How did you keep this secret from me?"
Their co-host Gio Benitez, 37, and meteorologist Somara Theodore also expressed excitement. Gio said: "We were all getting ready for an announcement about your show".
Janai was later asked again how she had been able to keep the news a secret from her colleagues. She explained at one point: "I wanted to surprise you guys on the show".
After being congratulated, Janai - who has been an anchor on Good Morning America (GMA) since around 2021 - said: "That was such a fun surprise you guys. Thank you".
The announcement was later shared on Twitter, with Janai herself sharing it on the platform. She wrote: "This couldn't have been a more fun [way] to announce baby #3".
She spoke about the pregnancy with People magazine, telling the outlet: "I've been manifesting this". She added: "I've been very open about wanting to have a third."
Janai and her husband - whose name she prefers to keep private - already have two children together. They are parents to a five-year-old son and a three-year-old daughter.
It was revealed to the magazine in an interview that Janai and her husband - who have been married since 2018 - are set to welcome their third child towards the end of this year.
