Squashies are soft sweets that come in all sorts of flavours and it got people talking about what gender her baby might be.
Although Michelle hasn’t revealed the sex of her baby, an old wives’ tale suggests that a sweet tooth during pregnancy is a sign it’s a girl!
“I think you’re having a girl,” suggested one.
Another agreed: “A little girl on the way, I’d say.”
When did Michelle announce her pregnancy?
The 44-year-old actress revealed her pregnancy last month in a cute photo on Instagram.
The image was of Kate and Michelle and their dog, Fred, and was captioned: “Fred’s big brother duties commence in October #BabyBrooks.”
The couple married in September 2019 at Elvis Presley’s Graceland estate in Memphis, Tennessee, without any family or friends.
Michelle posted the news to Instagram at the time and wrote: “In over 100 degrees heat, on Tuesday 10th September, I became Mrs Brooks.”
