- Shay Mitchell revealed her pregnancy on June 28, 2019 with a topless photoshoot.
- The Pretty Little Liars star kept her pregnancy a secret, having previously revealed she'd had a miscarriage in 2018 in a heartbreaking Instagram post.
- Mitchell shared her baby's gender reveal with fans in a YouTube video, and it involved an epic fight between two Power Rangers.
Shay Mitchell is expecting her first child with her partner, Matte Babel. And having announced the happy news in an Instagram post at the end of June, Mitchell took to YouTube to share the baby's gender reveal with the world.
In an epic video, Mitchell and Babel watched as a pink Power Ranger and a blue Power Ranger battled it out. Mitchell and her boyfriend were both visibly shocked by the way their reveal happened, anticipating a balloon with pink or blue confetti in, or a cake with a surprise center.
At a tense moment in the video, both Power Rangers fell into the swimming pool, and due to the waterproof nature of their suits, it seriously looked like they couldn't breathe for a hot minute. Mitchell and Babel's reactions were totally priceless:
The battle ended in the pool, with the pink Power Ranger being victorious and proceeding to sit on Babel's lap. So congratulations are most definitely in order as Mitchell is having a baby girl!
To date, Mitchell's Instagram pregnancy announcement has over 4.7 million likes. The actress captioned the beautiful photo, "Does this mean I’m allowed to drive in the car pool lane at all times now?"
