"It's official!! Baby Gokey #4 is coming this August!!!" the star captioned the post.
Leyicet confirmed the news in a post on her own account. She shared a picture of Daniel and Isabella smiling as Gabriel cries.
"2 of the 3 are excited lol baby is due in August! So excited!!!! I know I've told half the world but I forgot to announce it here! lol," the expectant mom wrote.
Gokey and Leyicet celebrated their seventh wedding anniversary in January. The couple rang in Daniel's sixth birthday the same month.
