Below Deck: Dani Reveals Her Baby’s Gender & Can’t Wait for Bonding

Dani Soares from season 2 of Below Deck Sailing Yacht has revealed the gender of her unborn child and how excited she is to start bonding with them. Last month, Dani announced on her social media she is expecting her first child. The news of her pregnancy was released in the middle of the new Below Deck season, where she is currently being courted by the 24-year-old Below Deck Sailing Yacht deckhand, Jean-Luc Cerza Lanaux.

Viewers met Dani for the first time when she boarded the parasail for season 2 of the Bravo series. She joined the crew as a second stewardess, working alongside Below Deck Sailing Yacht chief stew Daisy Kelliher and third stew Alli Dore. Dani is known for her wild and outgoing personality. However, she is professional when it comes to serving the charter guest. Now that Dani will be welcoming her first child soon, she will be putting her yachting career behind her and focusing on her new bundle of joy.

On Wednesday, Dani took to Instagram to announce she will be welcoming a baby girl. “I’ve always been a girlie girl, even when I used to spend hours everyday playing RPG,” the 33-year-old Below Deck Sailing Yacht star said in her caption, noting, “When I found out I was pregnant, all I really wanted was a healthy baby…But now I’m looking forward to having my little girl and developing that mother and daughter relationship.” Alongside the caption, Dani shared a photo of herself wearing a cute paisley patterned off-the-shoulder top with bright red lipstick. She also rocked a new shoulder-length haircut, the perfect cut for an expecting mother.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht star Dani announced she was expecting her first child in April over social media. The expecting mom has yet to confirm the identity of her child’s father. In the photo, Dani was quite far along in her pregnancy, which made several Below Deck fans wonder if the father of her baby is Jean-Luc. The show began filming in August 2020 and was completed at the beginning of September 2020. Since Dani seems to be around eight to nine months pregnant, it’s possible Jean-Luc could be the father of her baby. When she shared her pregnancy news, Dani admitted it was unplanned but not unwanted.

The former stewardess is excited to begin her journey as a mother to a little girl. Dani has waited so long to be a mother and couldn’t be happier to be expecting. Even though it didn’t happen the way she expected, having a child is a miracle to her. And she will welcome her new baby with open arms.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht airs Mondays at 9pm on Bravo.
