Emily said: ‘I’m six months [pregnant] and I wasn’t going to say this, but I am going to say this – I’m having a boy.’
She added: ‘So I want him to be a part of a really positive change and I want him to grow up knowing he can talk about these things openly and enjoy his life. I want him to be on the right side of history.’
