She posted on Instagram Stories to reveal that the baby will have a classic Italian name, as well as sharing a page from a photo album made at her baby shower over the weekend that seemed to name the boy.
Martha’s mother, Mary, had written in the book: “Dear Giuseppe, you are my first grandchild.”
She added at the end: ‘I love you, Giuseppe. I can’t wait to meet you.’

The couple announced that they were expecting their first child in October, months after the influencer already fell pregnant.
They explained that the reason for Martha’s prolonged absence from social media was because she was sick with excessive nausea and vomiting.
