Monet shared a photo of herself with Gardner, the creator of the men's clothing brand Gafton. The picture shows Gardner holding up a positive pregnancy test.

"We're going to be parents!!! Can you believe it?? MOM & DAD. We are sooo excited and even more excited to finally share the news! #BabyDandrew," Monet captioned the post.

The Victorious alum said in an interview with People she's hoping for a son.

"It's just something about a boy," the actress explained. "I grew up around a lot of guys in the neighborhood; I was probably one of the only girls. I also had a little brother who is still, to this day, like my kid, and I just have a lot of experience with boys."

"If it's a girl it will be a very new experience, which I actually look forward to, but if it's a boy, I think I'm ready," she said.

Monet has been vegan since age 13 and intends to raise her baby as a vegan as well. She also plans to have a natural water birth.

"I'm pretty healthy and mindful of my body. I've never been much of a doctor person, so I would want to try and do a birth as natural as possible!" the star said.
