TOM Daley has revealed that he and his husband Dustin Lance Black are expecting a baby boy.
The couple announced they were expecting their first child in a sweet Valentine’s Day post.
Speaking on Fearne Cotton’s Happy Place podcast, Tom said: “We’re going to have a little boy”.
The Olympic diver also hit back at criticism about their decision to use a surrogate and even compared their situation to Kim Kardahian’s.
Kim welcomed her third child, daughter Chicago, by surrogate after doctors told her it was too dangerous for her to get pregnant again.
He said: “People almost felt sorry for her that she’s not able to have a child because of health reasons, how lovely it is that a surrogate has been willing to do that.
“But for every other gay couple that isn’t able to have a child but desperately would love to bring up a child, just like any heterosexual couple, we have been treated quite differently.
“There are lots of people in this world that can’t have kids, whether it’s due to fertility issues or health issues, whatever it may be, I don’t think there would be as much drama if it was a straight couple.”
The pair have refused to say which of them is the biological father but Dustin said they want to have “biological connection” to their child.
He said: “There was something for both of us where we felt deeply that we’d like to complete that connection first when creating our family, and to have a biological connection to our past, to bring that into our present and let that grow into the future. At least at first, for the first couple.”
