Love & Hip Hop Hollywood stars Ray J and Princess Love are expecting their second child, and their sweet gender reveal took us up, up and away!

The couple and their one-year-old daughter Melody took a day trip to a helicopter base for their gender reveal. In a video filmed in the car, Love explained that after the helicopter took off, it would release either a pink or blue powder in the sky to let them know the sex of baby #2. She also admitted to feeling nervous about bringing Melody on the plane, but would, “scope it out” and make a decision from there.b

Once they touched down at the helicopter facility, Princess and baby Melody stayed behind and let Dad do the honors. Ray J filmed himself from inside the aircraft, looking excited for the big reveal. While in the sky, the plane unleashes a beautiful blue powder in the air.

That’s right…it’s a boy!

The Norwoods announced that they were expecting their second child back in August with an adorable family photo showing Love’s growing baby bump. “Somebody’s gonna be a big sis,” Princess wrote on her Instagram page. “New addition arriving Jan 2020.”

The couple’s first child Melody blessed their lives in May 2018. Ray J has praised his wife for her strength during a somewhat difficult labor. “This has been life changing for me,” the singer writes. “To watch you go thru all of this for us to have this beautiful Ángel! I have so much more respect for u in so many new ways- you have humbled me to the highest level.”

Congratulations to the Norwoods!
