Southern Living's editorial guidelines Published on July 2, 2024 Close Photo: Tyler Essary/NBC/NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images It’s been an exciting week for the Drummond family. Not long after announcing that her oldest daughter Alex was pregnant with her first child, Ree Drummond was celebrating once again, this time after learning the baby’s gender. Alex and her husband Mauricio announced the news over the weekend via an adorable gender reveal video featuring their golden retriever George. “Welcome to our gender reveal,” Alex said to the camera. “My heart is racing.” Mauricio then let George—who was wearing a “big brother” bandana—take a bite out of a cupcake to reveal the color inside. Unfortunately, George’s giant bite removed all evidence of the gender clue within. Their second try was successful, however, and after a smaller bite from George, Mauricio turned the cupcake to the camera to reveal a pink dot. “It’s a girl! It’s a girl, Georgie,” Alex cried. "I’m so excited!” Mauricio said. Mama Ree shared her own excitement in the comment. “Thank you God for the gift of daughters!!” she wrote. “We are so happy! Ladd will have her on a horse by the age of two….” Alex and Mauricio have been married for just over three years, tying the knot on May 1, 2021 on the gorgeous Drummond Family Ranch in Oklahoma. They live in Dallas, Texas. Congratulations! Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback! Tell us why! Other Submit
