Christina Anstead Told Ant She Was Pregnant By Chucking the Test in His Coffee Cup
Announcing pregnancies has become a thing, the same way gender reveals have taken over the Instagram feeds of anyone over 25 years of age. And while you can get into a real deep YouTube hole of "telling my husband I'm pregnant videos," sometimes the real reveal is less elaborate.
Christina Anstead opened up to PEOPLE this week about how she told Ant their fifth child was on the way (she has two with ex Tarek el Moussa and he has two with his first wife Louise). In short, she didn't have a ton of time to prepare.
I just felt different, so I decided to take a pregnancy test. It was the day after we landed from our honeymoon and right away, pregnant! And I was in the bathroom by myself, like, ‘Oh, my God! What?' ... So I ran out to tell [Ant] and he wasn’t there. He always makes coffee in the morning, so I just chucked the pregnancy test in the coffee cup because I didn’t know what to do and I wanted to surprise him.
As for Ant's reaction, he didn't get it right away. "I thought it was a thermometer," he told the magazine. "I was thinking, 'Is the coffee machine broken?'"
The two waited until they were into the second trimester to tell their kids, though Christina's daughter had a feeling something was up. "When I finally did tell her, she was like, 'I knew it! I [kept] telling you!'" Christina said. They later announced the pregnancy to the public on Instagram. Per her posts, baby Anstead is due in September and as of May 2 was the size of a carrot!
