And the 38-year-old chef revealed during Saturday’s episode of The Kitchen that her and Biegel are ‘very excited’ to be ‘having a baby girl.’
‘Our original plan was to wait and be surprised at birth, but we decided at a time like this, some good news for us to be excited about right now outweighed a surprise in September,’ explained Lee, in a post shared to her Instagram.

In conjunction with her joyous text, Katie posted a portrait of herself cradling her burgeoning baby bump, while simultaneously holding the couple’s ‘fur baby’ Gus.
‘I am so beyond appreciative to all of you who have sent me kind messages and well wishes both since I got pregnant and since I shared with you about my fertility struggles last year,’ she wrote.
In 2019, Lee spoke candidly about undergoing IVF treatment and how the ‘intense process’ had, unfortunately, resulted in ‘zero healthy embryos.’
‘They say it takes a village to raise a child, but for some of us, it takes a village to have a child.’
