HE’S ALREADY A GREAT DAD
Blake is adored not only by Gwen, but by her boys. From copying the country singer’s camo clothes to getting fake tattoos to match the deer tracks on his arm to reveling in trips to Blake’s Oklahoma estate, Zuma, Apollo and Kingston can’t get enough of th
the doctor to transfer female embryos if it’s an available option.” And, despite his sometimessalty persona, Blake is a secret softy who is completely on board with Operation Baby Girl. “Gwen knows he will be very protective of their daughter,” shares the insider. “He’d want her to be [safe and secure] her entire life.”
A LONG ROAD
Blake is also protective of Gwen. Because she’s in her 40s, a pregnancy would be considered highrisk. In fact, Gwen has revealed that even having baby No. 3 was a struggle for her, calling Apollo a “miracle.” “Blake knows the toll [trying to get pregnant] has taken on her, emotionally and physically,” says the insider.
“If Gwen finally does get pregnant, she will be taking it easy and not traveling a lot.”
Gwen’s plan is to have multiple embryos implanted, says the insider, and freeze the others. “They have a higher probability of getting pregnant if Gwen has more than one embryo transferred,” shares the insider. “But Blake is concerned about it. What if they all take? He is ready to be a dad, but the possibility of twins or triplets is just daunting!”
BUILT TO LAST
On Sept. 20, Gwen spent two hours in an LA doctor’s office — and Blake
was right by her side. He’s been there for her from the start. While their relationship began soon after their respective 2015 splits, and haters were quick to label it a rebound romance, Blake and Gwen are the real deal. And they both were upset when they discovered Gwen wasn’t pregnant recently after they thought she was. Gwen had believed she was expecting after taking a home-pregnancy test, the insider says, but within days she learned that she wasn’t. “They were obviously more than devastated,” notes the insider. “Blake took it a lot harder than Gwen.” But

she found a bright spot. Now “Gwen knows she is able to get pregnant,” says the insider. “She and Blake are absolutely more committed than ever to having a baby.”
In fact, Gwen and Blake are prioritizing having their baby girl over tying the knot. “They would want the baby to be a part of their wedding,” reveals the insider, “and have decided to wait until her arrival to get married.”
But they’re not waiting for her birth — or even her conception! — to dream up names and nursery designs. While designer Gwen is naturally eager to decorate the nursery, Blake’s been surprisingly involved, the insider says. And though he sings “You name the babies and I’ll name the dogs” in his latest single, he wasn’t hands- off in that area either. “They have had names picked out for months,” reveals the insider. “The names will be unique.” (Gwen says she once considered “Garbo” if she and Gavin, 51, had had a daughter.) Older brothers Kingston, Zuma and Apollo prove Gwen’s fondness for unusual names! Now it’s time to pick one for a girl. “Having a little girl is what Gwen’s always wanted. She can’t believe it’s finally happening,” says the insider. “Blake is the perfect partner for her to raise her daughter with.”
