The host was so confident, so wrong, five years ago that the couple’s first child, Alf, would be a girl.
This time she felt confident enough to up the ante with a big bet on the sex of the star’s second child after hearing about the star’s cravings.
“Looks like it would be in my best interest because you were wrong last time,” Natalie said.
“I had a 50-50 shot and I committed to that and now I’m committed to that,” Elaine said.
With her first child, the Oscar winner wanted sweets all the time.
I wanted, like, cream puffs or like any dessert with cream in it, or just pain whipped cream, she said, straight up.
This is not the case this time.
She added, “This time it looks healthy, like a pineapple, cucumber and burrito!” Which is probably less healthy, but…delicious.
That was all Elaine needed to hear. “I think you will have a girl,” she said.
