'We both guessed the same. Lorenz guessed that.'
Rio, announcing the news alongside Kate on her Blended podcast, said: 'I knew it was a girl but I actually wanted a girl. I wanted boys at the beginning. I wanted Cree to be a boy.
'That's me, I'm done now, five.'
The couple told how they decided to announce the gender to their family by eating two cupcakes each - one of which had pink in it.
But Rio said: 'It was a typical Ferdinand household gender reveal - it all went wrong.'
Kate said: 'It was bedlam. So we all had a cake - there were 12 cakes. This was actually Rio's idea. Only one of them had the colour in it. So we all had two cakes each. Little cupcakes.
'Because all the kids are so many different ages it's really hard to get something that works for everyone.

'Typical Rio, said he'd be home from work at 5.30, rocks up at eight - so Cree's exhausted.
'So we're already starting the night a little bit groggy - Cree goes to bed at 7.30 and it's now eight.'
Rio continued: 'We're just going to film it for memories and then we all take a bite of the first six cupcakes - not one of them has the colour - so it's pink or blue, girl or boy.
'And then everyone's shouting, and because everyone's shouting so loud, Cree in the middle is hysterical crying because he's scared.
'All the other kids are really excited - they're screaming and shouting. So we calm everyone down.'
