However, if you are thinking you can’t wait for the gender reveal pictures, you’ll be waiting.

The supermodel told the magazine that she is going to raise her child non-binary and once he or she reach 18, the idea is that the child will be able to reveal her own gender.

“When my husband and I tell friends that I’m pregnant, their first question after ‘Congratulations’ is almost always ‘Do you know what you want?’

“We like to respond that we won’t know the gender until our child is 18 and that they’ll let us know then,” Ratajkowski wrote.

She continued: “Everyone laughs at this. There is a truth to our line, though, one that hints at possibilities that are much more complex than whatever genitalia our child might be born with.

“The truth that we ultimately have no idea who—rather than what—is growing inside my belly. Who will this person be? What kind of person will we become parents to? How will they change our lives and who we are?”
