Giuliana Rancic baby shower: Giuliana and Bill Rancic announce they are having a boy
Giuliana and Bill Rancic used a creative way to let their friends know they were expecting a son at their guessing-themed Beverly Hills bash over the weekend.
The couple released blue balloons out of a giant box during the fun-filled event.
Looking like a ray of sunshine in a bright yellow dress, Giuliana Rancic jumped for joy as they made the big reveal.
“It was great to finally share it with everyone,” she told Life & Style whilst trying to hold back tears.
“I’ve always wanted a little Bill – my husband is the most gorgeous guy in the world and I want our baby to look exactly like him.”
During the party – which was organized by celebrity-planner-to-the-stars Mindy Weiss – guests feasted on ribs and sliders and sipped on Nicolas Feuillatte champagne and OneHope wine.
Colorful balloons, flowers and cabanas were dotted around the grounds of the mansion, reflecting the couple’s always bright and optimistic outlook on life.

Continuing on with the guessing theme of the party, the pair even cut into a pink and blue cake, revealing a turquoise sponge inside.
“The shower is exactly what I envisioned,” said Giuliana Rancic.
The TV host said she was relieved to be finally focusing on her baby, and that she was already feeling a strong connection to her unborn son.
“Now that the medical stuff is done, we can focus on the baby,” she said.
“Even though I’m not pregnant I’ve been dreaming about the baby. I had heard that I’d feel a connection, but I didn’t really believe it. I dream of the baby in a blue blanket and it’s the cutest little boy.”
After the party this past weekend, the excited duo also shared the news with fans, revealing they are soon to welcome a little boy – thanks to the help of their surrogate mother.
Giuliana Rancic tweeted: “Beyond excited to announce @BillRancic and I are having a……….BOY!!!!!”
The couple, who are expecting their new arrival later this summer, plan on being in the delivery room with their surrogate.
It has been a happy time for the couple, who have had their fair share of heartache.
Giuliana Rancic underwent a double mastectomy after being diagnosed with breast cancer last year.
The stunning TV star recently spoke about the prospect of having either sex of baby.
Giuliana Rancic recently told People: “The reason being that when you have a mother-[son] bond, he’s like your prince – you don’t want to discipline him.
“And then there’s daddy’s little girl, he’ll never want to discipline her. But to be honest, chances are I will discipline, because I’m a crazy Italian chick.”
E! News recently published one of the couples’ adorable baby shower invitations featuring a guessing theme by headlining the invitation with a question: “Blue or Pink: What Do You Think?”
Underneath the playful question was a pink “g” for Giuliana Rancic in pink script and a “b” in blue for Bill. The front cover of the invitation gave the date of the party as June 17th, but the location wasn’t divulged.
The Rancic duo already knew the gender prior to their party.
“Here’s the thing,” Giuliana Rancic told E! News earlier this month.
“I don’t know how long we’re going to be able to keep it a secret, but it’s like the only thing in our lives right now that’s a secret… It’s fun having something between the two of us.”
Giuliana and Bill Rancic plan on trying for a second child once she’s clear of the cancer treatments in five years.
“Five years puts me at 42, and a lot of people have kids at 42. So I’m definitely going to try again,” she said.
