Johnny Galeckiis hoping to see pink very soon!
One week after Galecki, 43, and his girlfriendAlaina Meyerconfirmed they were expecting their first child, theBig Bang Theorystar appeared onThe Talk, where he opened up about his little bundle of joy on the way.
As he chatted with the hosts, Galecki was asked about his bright pink nails and whether the color was any indication of his upcoming child’s sex. Despite the choice being mostly about superstitions, Galecki revealed he was secretly hoping for a daughter.
“I get a little bored looking exactly the same way for 9 and a half months every year playing Leonard,” he said of hisBig Bangcharacter. “So we wrapped and I threw some blue in my hair, then I got superstitious that I was manifesting a boy, when I kind of prefer a girl.”
Catching himself, the actor added, “Don’t play this tape for my child years from now!”
While on the show, cohostSara Gilbertalso shared a funny story about how Galecki revealed to her that his girlfriend was expecting at theBig Bang Theory‘s finale wrap party.
“And I couldn’t say anything, so I was like, ‘Oh yes, yes,'” Gilbert, 44, added.
