Raheem Sterling and girlfriend Paige Milian find out sex of their new baby by popping balloon
More than 40 family and friends gathered for a baby shower for the model, 21, last Sunday where she discovered the sex of the baby by popping a giant balloon with blue confetti inside.
A source said: “Raheem and Paige can’t wait for the baby to arrive and they are delighted it is going to be a mini Raheem.
“Paige has stuck by his side despite a number of claims he cheated on her. Now she’s looking forward to becoming a mum for the first time.”

But England star Sterling was forced to apologise to his girlfriend after flying stunning sisters Elise and Elaine Wagstaff to his Jamaican hideout as she holidayed in Greece in July.
And in March, he was caught on a date with Playboy model Tabby Brown at a posh Manchester hotel – just weeks after setting up home in a £3.5million Cheshire mansion with Paige.
Sterling has one daughter, four-year-old Melody Rose, from a previous relationship.

The source added: “The cheating claims really hurt Paige, but deep down she loves Raheem and is determined to stick by his side.
“They have a lot of history together and although they have been on and off for years, they are as strong as ever now.
“It has been a rough year for the two of them but they are hoping 2017 will be much better.”
