The video showed Andi and Blaine's loved ones making predictions about the baby's sex, and the votes were split right down the middle.
Andi then revealed she had "no idea" about the baby's sex and so she randomly chose to be on "Team Girl," while Blaine said he was expecting "maybe, just maybe a boy."
"We'll love you either way," Blaine noted.
Finally, the parents-to-be released pink smoke bombs into the air, revealing that they're going to have a daughter.
Congratulatory comments poured in from Bachelor Nation.
Hannah Ann Sluss wrote, "Oh my word!!! YAYA!! I'm so happy for you!! Girl mama and daddy!"
Amanda Stanton commented, "GIRL MOM," and Haley Ferguson gushed, "Being a girl mom is the BEST."
Raven Gates also exclaimed, "Congrats!!!!"
Andi, who starred on The Bachelorette's tenth season, and Blaine revealed they're expecting their first child together in a joint Instagram post on August 5.

Andi later conducted an Instagram Q&A session with fans and revealed that although she's in her late thirties, she and Blaine conceived naturally.
"I was basically 37 and Blaine 38 when we conceived... Most of y'all know I froze my eggs back when I was 29 (highly recommend if possible by the way) and we did not get to this time. (We do hope for more kids!)" Andi shared.
"We had been trying for about 8 months (just tracking etc) and definitely had our months of disappointment but hung in there."
Andi also confirmed she wanted to find out the baby's gender ahead of time because she's "horrible at surprises."

The Bachelorette alum added, "It's funny [because] I come from all girls and Blaine comes from all boys, so it's been a funny discussion/betting game. Stay tuned!"
When asked to share her pregnancy symptoms, Andi listed headaches, nausea, weight gain, melasma, UFO boobs, and fatigue.

Andi and Blaine chose to exchange vows in the same location where they reconnected in Summer 2021 after her time on The Bachelor franchise.
The couple later celebrated their union with a large group of family and friends in Andi's hometown of Atlanta, GA. Andi called the event a "special" second wedding.
Andi and Blaine met more than a decade ago, but their relationship didn't take off until Summer 2021.
"It's kind of a crazy story. We actually met at a party when we were both in college," Andi told People in June 2023.
"Blaine was playing baseball at Furman University and one of my friends was his teammate. We met and then I never heard from him again until 15 years later in Italy."
Blaine apparently started DMing Andi on Instagram and asked her if she wanted to go for drinks.
"I told him, 'I'm in Italy, so no.' And he was like, 'Well obviously. I saw your Instagram Story, I'm here too and I want to take you out for drinks,'" Andi recalled, adding how their chance encounter would be her last first date.
"That was it," she gushed. "[Italy] is a very special place for us."
Andi initially revealed on Instagram in November 2021 that she was dating someone special, and then she officially introduced Blaine to the world via Instagram on New Year's Eve, ringing in 2022 in a big way.
"Cheers to a year filled with love and sparkles. 2022... I have a feeling you might very well be the best one yet! Happy New Year," Andi wrote alongside a photo of the pair dressed in formal attire outside of a swanky hotel.
Andi revealed she was in love in February 2022, and then she accepted a marriage proposal from Blaine in March of that year.
Andi wrote on Instagram at the time that the engagement was well "worth the wait."

Blaine popped the question on a beach in Los Angeles, CA, with a ring designed by the same jeweler who had created Andi's mother's engagement ring about 40 years ago.
After Andi and Blaine got engaged, they bought and moved into a house together in Greenville, SC. Andi had been hoping Blaine would move to Los Angeles, but he apparently won that debate.
Andi previously told People that she wanted to "protect" Blaine from the public eye for as long as she could.
"But it's fun for me to share it now, and it makes me feel good to see that people are truly happy that I finally found love," she said at the time.
Andi, a former assistant district attorney from Atlanta, found fame when she appeared on The Bachelor's 18th season.
Andi proceeded to star on The Bachelorette's tenth season, when she rejected runner-up Nick Viall and got engaged to winner Josh Murray. The finale aired in July 2014.
Andi and Josh announced their split on January 8, 2015. Almost two months later, Andi took to Twitter to reveal she had decided to move to New York City. She then relocated to California in June 2020.
Andi has written two tell-all memoirs, It's Not Okay: Turning Heartbreak into Happily Never After as well as Single State of Mind, the first of which bashes Josh and how he had treated her during their short-lived relationship.
Andi had accused Josh of being verbally abusive, temperamental and controlling in her book -- which Josh in turn called "fiction."
"I was disgusted with myself for what I put up with. I was a strong, independent woman and I allowed [Josh] to be [emotionally abusive]. Now, I know I don't want someone jealous or controlling. I know what won't make me happy in [the future]," Andi told People in 2016.
"We all have red flags in our relationships that we don't see. Looking back and seeing those red flags was very cathartic for me. I realized our relationship wasn't the highlight of my life like I thought it was. So I took it off the pedestal and realized all was not lost."

"Honestly, if I had to pick a different person from my season it would not have been Nick, who was second. It would have been Chris Soules, who was third," Andi said on the Dax Holt and Adam Glyn's "Hollywood Raw" podcast.
"He was my buddy, my friend. I really liked Nick and Josh... Chris was like my safety blanket. He was the guy I could go on a date with and I knew that we would have a good time. There wasn't a ton of pressure."
Andi appears to have found her happily ever after with Blaine, a love she said is different from what she had felt in past relationships.
"Not only do we love each other tremendously, but we like being with each other. We both just want to make the other happy and in turn our relationship is a lot of fun. That's the word I'd use to describe our relationship: fun," Andi boasted.
"It's not about it being easy or hard; that's not our barometer. I knew Blaine was different and I remember just hoping that the shoe wouldn't drop and this was the real deal and it turned out it was!"
