The Real Housewives of New Jersey star Rachel Fuda is using the magic of Disney to announce the sex of her and husband John’s third baby.
The TikTok posted on Saturday, November 2, begins with Rachel, 33, and John wearing matching “Mommy” and “Daddy” Disney-themed shirts, respectively. John places a hand on Rachel’s growing bump before the clip zooms out to show them posing with a blue Mickey Mouse balloon in front of the Magic Kingdom.
The video is set to the track “Happily Ever After” by Angie K and Jordan Fisher, which plays during a Disney firework show of the same name.
“IT’S A BOY,” Rachel captioned the clip, alongside a blue heart emoji. “We are so excited for our little prince coming this winter!”
Rachel and John also shared a snap of them gazing at the Magic Kingdom while holding the balloon in a joint post via Instagram. The Saturday upload included the same caption and received love from her RHONJ costars.
“Yay! Can’t wait,” Danielle Cabral wrote, while Melissa Gorga added, “Little baby boy!!! Lets goo!!!! 🩵.”
Rachel shared that she and John were expanding their family during a season 14 special “Off The Rails” episode of RHONJ, which aired in August. As Gorga, 45, began a toast with the rest of the cast, she said, “There’s a lot of life to be had …” Rachel interjected to add, “Considering I’m pregnant!”
The couple, who wed in 2017, share son Jaiden, 17 — whom Rachel legally adopted in 2023 — and daughters Gianella, 4, and Giuliana, 2. The pair’s daughters were both born via IVF, and the newest addition was also conceived via IVF.
After announcing her pregnancy news, Fuda reflected on her blessings. “I just feel so grateful, and I have so much gratitude,” she exclusively told Us Weekly in August. “I feel very blessed and very lucky.”
During season 13 of the series, Rachel got candid about her fertility journey and told John about her desire to undergo IVF again. At the time, she noted that they had five viable embryos remaining.
“The clock is ticking,” she told him at the time. “I just feel like, four kids, that’s a good number. The time is now. This is, like, a year process. I want to do this and be done.”
After welcoming her second daughter in 2022, Rachel opened up about balancing motherhood with filming the show. “It was tough. You don’t feel like yourself,” Rachel exclusively told Us at the time. “You’re uncomfortable. Your body isn’t really yours yet. It was definitely tough. It was mentally very trying, but I feel like I handled it really well.”
Rachel gushed that she had “an “an amazing support system” and leaned on her family while filming.
“I’m so grateful for that,” Rachel said to Us. “Without my parents, my husband, my brother and sister-in-law, I would not be able to have done any of this.”
