Serena Williams might have just accidentally revealed the gender of Meghan Markle's baby!
Serena and Meghan have been close friends for years now, and in a recent interview, Serena — a mom of one — gave some words of advice for other first-time moms.
"Accept mistakes and don’t expect to be perfect. We put so much pressure on ourselves," she said to E! News.
Then she went on to laugh about how she has a friend who's pregnant, which, hello, could definitely be Meghan! While discussing this friend, Serena used the pronoun "she" for her baby.
"My friend is pregnant," Serena said, "and she was like, ‘My kid’s gonna do this,’ [and] I just looked at her like, ‘No, she’s not. No, you’re not.'"
HMMM. If she is talking about Meghan, then this is a pretty solid sign that Baby Sussex is a girl. Previously, people were pretty convinced that Meghan was expecting a boy.
But Serena obviously has other friends, and maybe someone else is pregnant, too. The suspense!
Meghan Markle and Serena Williams are close pals. They first met when they both participated in a charity football game in 2014.
"We hit it off immediately, taking pictures, laughing through the flag football game we were both playing in, and chatting not about tennis or acting, but about all the good old fashioned girly stuff," Meghan recalled on her former blog The Tig.
"So began our friendship."
Serena attended Meghan and Harry's wedding last year with her own husband, Alexis Ohanian.
She also helped throw Meghan's first baby shower in New York, a famously star-studded affair.
Serena's first and only child, daughter Olympia, is now over a year old. So she's definitely qualified to give advice to other first-time moms.
In a recent interview, Serena shared some words of wisdom.
"Accept mistakes and don't expect to be perfect," she said in an interview with E! News. "We put so much pressure on ourselves."
"I had all those high expectations and what I was going to do and then I had what I was going to do," she continued. "I was gonna recover and I was gonna be great, and this is a time that everything is not going to go as planned."
THEN Serena went on to mention a pregnant "friend":
"My friend is pregnant, and she was like, ‘My kid’s gonna do this,’ [and] I just looked at her like, ‘No, she’s not. No, you’re not. She was like, ‘I need to talk to you about tips,’ because, yes, I had all of those high expectations."
Notice that she used the pronoun "she" for her friend's baby?!?!
I mean, it's totally possible that Serena has another pregnant friend… but given her and Meghan's close friendship, it's also possible that she's talking about Meghan and accidentally let the gender of the baby slip.
Naturally, royal fans are kinda Flipping Out about the quote. Previously, reports have gone back and forth about whether the Sussexes are expecting a boy or a girl.
Meghan reportedly spilled the beans to her friends at her baby shower, though. And some of those friends arrived with gifts wrapped in blue.
At this point, we're all going to have to just wait until Baby Sussex arrives to see what happens!
Luckily, you can keep tabs on the couple more easily now that they have their very own Instagram account.
The couple started the account shortly after the royal family announced that they were leaving Kensington Palace to form their own household under Buckingham Palace. They reportedly were hoping for even more independence from the rest of the royal family, but hey, having their own Instagram platform is one way to strike out on their own!
The Duchess of Sussex has been taking a break from official engagements in preparation for the baby. Baby Sussex is reportedly due in late April or early May, which means he or she could arrive pretty much any day now!
