Fixer-Upper superfans have been anxiously awaiting the news of Chip and Joanna Gaines’s fifth child’s sex, going as far to speculate that it’s a little girl named Evie. But the truth has finally come out, and it looks like it’s due to quick comment Chip made while at a golf tournament.

“Alright, alright.. if we’re going to announce the gender of our #5th child. It might as well come from my new friend #Gage! Take it away my man. @tebowfoundation,” Chip said in a Tweet with a video attached.

In the video, a short(er)-haired Chip, sporting golfing gloves, is chatting to a little boy. “Listen to this, I can’t think of a D name,” he says. “Can you help me think of a D name?”

Now, anyone familiar with the Dictionary of Gaines knows that all of Chip and Joanna’s daughters have names that start with E (Ella, 11, and Emmie Kay, 7) and all of the boys have names that start with D (Drake, 12, and Duke, 9). Which means… baby number five must be a little boy!

“So far all I could come up with is ‘Dragon’,” Chip joked.

Well, we know Joanna’s favorite “Distressed Furniture” starts with a D, so there’s an idea.
