Vanessa and Nick Lachey are expecting a second baby -- a girl

Vanessa Lachey and husband Nick Lachey are having another baby, and this time it’ll be a girl!

The former 98 Degrees frontman made the announcement Tuesday on Twitter, posting a beach photo boasting the words “It’s a girl!” surrounded by a heart drawn in the sand.

“Can’t think of a better way to celebrate 3 years of marriage to my beautiful @VanessaLachey than this! #family,” wrote the VH1 host, 40.

The couple’s son, Camden John, 22 months, is also featured at the bottom of the snapshot, which Vanessa retweeted.

Around this time last year the former Vanessa Minnillo told HuffPost Live that she was open to having “three and four” kids and planned to ultimately raise them in Cincinnati, her husband’s hometown.

The 33-year-old, who wed Lachey in July 2011, also said she was a traditionalist and that’s why she changed her last name.

“I see myself as his wife first, then as a personality or name,” she said. “I love my family name, and being Vanessa Minnillo obviously is all I’ve ever known, but moving forward Nick and I are a unit, and you get married — that’s how I’ve always been — you get married, and you take your husband’s name and you have a family. And things have been good.”

Lachey was previously married to pop star Jessica Simpson, who recently wed former NFL star Eric Johnson.
