The Good Morning America family has a new member coming their way, not a new anchor – not yet anyways – but a baby!

Weekend anchor Janai Norman, who hosts Good Morning America Weekend with Whit Johnson, Gio Benitez, and Somara Theodore announced her pregnancy live on-air during the Sunday show.

The GMA star, 33, and her husband of nearly five years, whose name she prefers to keep private, also share a five-year-old son and three-year-old daughter, whose names she also has opted not to share publicly. You can watch her surprise her GMA co-stars with the news of her third pregnancy in the video below.

Speaking with People in the wake of her announcement, the anchor revealed she is ten weeks pregnant, and that she has "been manifesting this."

The soon-to-be mother-of-three also detailed her plans to have another home birth like she did with her previous kids, with the help of doulas and midwives.

"It went so well and was so beautiful. I was determined to do it again with my daughter and had an incredible water birth during the pandemic. People would look at me crazy when I told them it was magical. It truly was," she said.
