Kristina Rihanoff wants a baby girl.
The former 'Strictly Come Dancing' professional is expecting her first child with boyfriend Ben Cohen and would reportedly love a daughter.
A source said: "Kristina is overjoyed at the idea of becoming a mother. She has wanted a baby for years and is over-joyed. She'd especially love a little girl."
And the former rugby star is incredibly "supportive" despite being "initially shocked" that the pair would be welcoming a child so soon.
The insider added: "Ben is being as supportive as possible, but he wasn't expecting to be a dad again quite so soon.
"He was initially shocked, even though he does love Kristina. Now he's absorbed the news he's really excited."
And with Ben still finalising his split from wife Abby and the 38-year-old dancer currently in the 'Celebrity Big Brother' house, they haven't really had a chance to discuss the future yet.
A source told the Sunday Mirror newspaper: "But he is still finalising his divorce to Abby and the financial side of their settlement. Right now, Kristina is the bread-winner, they live separately and they have a lot of things to iron-out.
"But they found out about the baby so close to her entering the 'Celebrity Big Brother' house they haven't had a chance to discuss the future in depth."

Lauren Goodger used to have "fat feet."
The former' The Only Way is Essex' star has recently shed an impressive four stone in weight with the help of her new fitness DVD 'OMG! Workout', but it's not just her dress size that's shrunk as her feet have also dropped two sizes.
She said: "Even my shoes don't fit. They're too big. I've gone down two sizes. They stretch don't they. I was a size 5 to 6, now I'd say I'm a size a 4 to 5. Who would have thought you could have fat feet. They used to get really swollen as well."
But one item of clothing Lauren won't be buying a smaller size in, following her weightloss, is bras as she underwent a boob job two years ago to take her from a D to an E cup.
Asked if she's considering having a reduction now she's got a smaller frame, she said: "My boobs are huge. The thing is, I do like them with my figure. But then I was looking and I thought if I have them taken out then I'd look smaller.
"My shoulders now are quite nice and I've got nice collarbones and I like it because I go in and out, so it is something I've thought about.
"But I've only just had them done so I don't think it'd be right to get them taken out two years later."
Lauren's 'OMG! Workout' is available now.

Paloma Faith asked for Simon Cowell's approval before she signed up for 'The Voice'.
The 'Only Love Can Hurt Like This' hitmaker checked in with the music mogul before she agreed to join the BBC One show as a judge as she didn't want it to affect her recording contract with Sony.
She explained: "I don't want to shoot myself in the foot, I am not stupid. I wanted to know that whatever I did wasn't going to alienate anything for me. I don't want to become anyone's worst enemy. I had to call around and be like, 'Is this gonna p*** you off?' I don't want to end up on the bottom of someone's priorities.
"Simon Cowell is an extremely powerful man and indirectly he is very, very high up in the music company I am with, Sony. So I don't want to be signed and shelved."
However, the 56-year-old television personality had nothing but positive comments for the 34-year-old singer.
She added to The Sun newspaper: "Simon just said, 'I think it will be really good and you should go for it if you want to.' He settled my worries. He said, 'You are not going to be suddenly dropped by Sony, don't worry.'"

Ben Cohen's ex-wife is "absolutely devastated" about Kristina Rihanoff's pregnancy.
Abby Cohen is reportedly fuming that her former husband didn't tell her about the baby news before the 'Strictly Come Dancing' star revealed all during her stint on 'Celebrity Big Brother'.
A friend told The Sun newspaper: "Abby is absolutely devastated. The first she knew of it was when people began ringing her. How could he be so cruel as to let her find out about the pregnancy this way? It was insensitive and hurtful.
"The fact Ben didn't even have the decency to tell Abby before she revealed it to her housemates on the show cut her to the quick. She sent him a flurry of angry text messages asking for an explanation."
Meanwhile, Abby - who has seven-year-old twin daughters Harriette and Isabelle with the ex-rugby star - has admitted the news is a "shock to us all".
She said: "This news has come as a shock to us all. Please respect mine and my children's privacy at this time."
Ben met Kristina when they were partnered together on the BBC One show in 2013.

Michael Le Vell has been handed a six figure sum to renew his contract for 'Coronation Street'.
The 51-year-old actor - who has played mechanic Kevin Webster in the ITV soap since the 1980s - is reportedly "over-the-moon" to find out he will be receiving a £150,000 contract, which lasts until the end of 2016, and a promise of some exciting new storylines.
An insider said: "Michael was over-the-moon to be told he would be getting a new deal. No one is ever safe in soaps but the bosses have been impressed with his professionalism in tackling his problems head-on and dealing with them."
And Michael - who previously took a break from the show to undergo a stint in rehab for his drinking - is looking ahead to the future and feels like "the worst of his problems are behind him".
A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "He really does now feel that the worst of his problems are behind him. Sure, he had a drink to toast New Year but there is no way he will return to the bad old days. He knows he has too much to lose."

Dean Gaffney wants to run a hotel in Ibiza.
The former 'EastEnders' star has his hands tied up with his pantomime role in Brindley Theatre's production of 'Aladdin' in Runcorn until later this month, but he's planning to hop on a plane to Spain once it's wrapped up to kick-start his career in business and hospitality out there in the sun.
Asked what his plans are once panto finishes, he said: "I don't know yet. But that's what it's like in this business. You never know what might happen next.
"I've got my fingers in a few pies. I might go and run a hotel in Ibiza or start a business out there."
And his move into business may mean that Dean, 37, will turn his back on acting for good because he's struggling to deal with the highs and lows of the nitty-gritty industry.
He explained: "Acting for a living is so hard. One year you're hot, hot, hot. The next you're not, not, not! I've survived 23 years in this business, but who knows how long it'll go on for?
"I sold a house recently and I have a bit of money in the bank so, fortunately, I don't have to rush into anything."
However, the talented star hasn't ruled out a possibility of reprising his alterego Robbie Jackson in 'EastEnders' in the near future following his brief return last year.
He told Soaplife magazine: "It's obviously up to the writers and producers but I think it's feasible that he could [return]."

Union J's Jaymi Hensley is adamant Winston McKenzie has blown his chances of becoming Mayor of London following his "homophobic" claims on 'Celebrity Big Brother.'
The 25-year-old singer - who has been dating his fiancé Olly Marmon since 2009 - has lashed out at the former UKIP spokesperson, 61, after he made some controversial comments on the launch night of the Channel 5 show.
Jaymi told BANG Showbiz: "I don't think I have ever felt like this about someone! I am so disgusted that a human being like this exists! If he thinks he stands the slightest chance of ever becoming Mayor of London he is sorely mistaken!"
But it's not just Winston's rude homophobic remarks, which were aired ahead of his entrance into the infamous earlier this week, that has upset Jaymi as he's also disgusted with the way the political activist had been "letching over" his fellow housemates Tiffany Pollard and Nancy Dell'Olio.
Jaymi added: "He clearly has no respect for women with the way he is letching over Tiffany and Nancy."
Winston sparked outrage earlier this week when he claimed in his pre-recorded entrance video that he could "cope with a homosexual in the house" but he'd have to stand with his "back against a brick wall all the time."
However, Gay Rights Activist Philip Christopher Baldwin thinks Channel 5 are partly to blame because the broadcaster allowed it to air.
He said: "These remarks are outrageous. They are dismissive, trivialising gay men by describing them as an irritation. At the same time Winston suggests that gay men are predatory. His stereotyping is outdated and irrelevant.
"Winston's language of prejudice is homophobia. I'm surprised that Channel 5 decided to air the comments."
Ofcom is currently investigating Winston's remarks after the regulator was hit with over 405 complaints from viewers.
Winston was evicted from the 'Celebrity Big Brother' house last night (08.01.16), just three days after he entered, after 13 out 14 of his fellow housemates voted for him to leave.

Winston McKenzie has been voted off 'Celebrity Big Brother'.
The former UKIP politician faced Kristina Rihanoff and Nancy Dell'Olio in Friday's (08.01.16) eviction and while the 'Strictly' siren was told she was safe on the live show, the two remaining contestants had a 30-minute wait before finding out their fate.
Host Emma Willis explained: "For the past 24 hours the British public have been voting to save their favourite contestant and I can reveal the person who is safe is, Kristina."
A thrilled Kristina reacted with a huge smile and by blowing kisses.
Each of the housemates then had to choose which celebrity they wanted to leave the house and Winston received 13 votes with Nancy getting just one.
The contestants kicked Winston out of the house after it was revealed that he once called adoption by gay couples a form of "child abuse", and he left the house to boos from the waiting crowd.
And while he was being interviewed by Emma after he left the house, Winston refused to retract his comment.
Meanwhile, the trio found themselves nominated for the first public vote after Jeremy McConnell, Scotty T and Stephanie Davis were asked to make one "killer" choice as reward for winning an earlier task and freeing Danniella Westbrook, Darren Day and John Partridge from the barren room.
After being called to the Diary Room, Stephanie nominated Kristina, explaining the professional dancer had been "angry" with her for keeping her awake.
Meanwhile, Jeremy McConnell opted for Nancy because she intimidates him.
He said: "I find she can be a bit controlling when we're having a laugh. A bit intimidating."
And 'Geordie Shore's Scotty T selected Winston because he finds him greedy.
He said: "Every time I cook he can't wait for everyone else to have his food, he's always 'gimme it, gimme it.'"

Brooke Vincent doesn't think "any amount of money" would persuade Helen Flanagan to return to 'Coronation Street.'
The 23-year-old star - who plays lesbian Sophie Webster in the ITV soap - is desperate to have her on-screen sister back on the Cobbles, but she doesn't think the model, 25, who played drama-queen Rosie until 2012, will want to leave her six-month-old daughter Matilda at the moment.
She explained: "I hoped that Helen would have come back. But she has just had a little girl and she is so gorgeous.
She looks like she is really enjoying being a mum. She has wanted that for a long, long time and I don't think any amount of money would bring her back away from her daughter at the minute. But maybe one day she will come back but, at the minute, she is just enjoying being a mum."
Meanwhile, the brunette beauty - who joined 'Corrie' when she was just 11 years old - is set to take a short break from the soap this year in order to star in her first-ever stage play as a pregnant mum at Salford's Lowry Theatre.
However, Brooke is adamant her new career path doesn't mean the end for her alter-ego in 'Coronation Street.'
She told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I really like my routine, I like knowing what I am doing, knowing who is going to be there and knowing who I am working with.
"Don't get me wrong, maybe this theatre might push me on. I might think 'I really enjoyed it, let's do something else'. It just depends on how I feel but at the minute I am happy."
