Catfish creator Nev Schulman and his girlfriend Laura Perlongo have announced that they are expecting a baby girl. YAY!

The 31-year-old TV host and his freelance advertising creative gf, 30, took to social media on Wednesday to share the exciting news.

"IT’S A GIRL!" Nev captioned an Instagram photo of the couple - who've been in a long-distance relationship for seven months - at a doctor’s visit.

"No words can capture the excitement and joy I feel about becoming a father. I am so in love with you @el_peego and thank you for giving me this incredible gift. You inspire and excite me every day."

In a candid blog post that Laura wrote about thepregnancy, she revealed that the pair had talked about starting a family but it was still a complete surprise.

She wrote: "To be fair it wasn’t a complete accident. We had talked about wanting kids and had pulled the goalie maybe half-a-time-once but weren’t necessarily expecting this news, THE NEWS."

Laura added that after the initial shock of the pregnancy wore off, she knew she wanted to keep the baby.

She wrote: "I was strong. I was smart. I was full of love. I COULD DO THIS! I was confident I’d be great. Nev was confident he would be great. HE COULD DO THIS!

"Sure we’d only been dating long-distance 7 months (with a break in August) but we were optimistic and in love. It felt as good a time as ever. (And who knows if/when there would ever be a ‘better’ time.) We were excited."

Soon after Nev shared the news, his co-host Max tweeted his congratulations: "The secret's out. Nev is having a baby!! Congrats mon frere. You will be a great dad!"
