It's a...BOY! 90 Day Fiance's Russ and Paola Mayfield are thrilled to announce they are expecting a baby boy.

"I didn't care if it was a boy or a girl, I just wanted a healthy baby and to be able to have it in my arms as soon as possible," Paola told People.com.

"Of course I'm always rooting for a girl but a boy is a blessing as well and I know my husband is really excited! This is an amazing experience now I can finally say I'm pregnant!!! I'm having a little boy!"

Paola was right! Hubby Russ couldn't be more excited to be a father to a baby boy!

"I know and am confident God has prepared me as I welcome in a baby boy into our world," said Russ. "I only want to continue striving to be the leader I was called to be and be the proud, strong, and loving father our baby boy deserves."

After announcing their pregnancy last month, the overjoyed couple learned this exciting news during a gender reveal party thrown by Paola's close friends earlier tonight. The cocktail party was held at a restaurant in Miami with about 30 of the couple's close friends and family in attendance. Before the actual reveal, the party throwers had a little fun with a "joke" reveal, where Russ and Paola cut into a cake without a gender identifying color! The actual reveal happened after, when the couple popped blue confetti into the air! Both Russ and Paola's parents were skyping in during this incredible moment.
