Therese Johaug is pregnant with her second child and due in January. Now, she has revealed the baby’s gender.

“It’s going to be a little boy,” Therese Johaug told Dagbladet.

The 37-year-old shared the news during the premiere of the documentary about Johannes Høsflot Klæbo, which will be released in cinemas across Norway on Friday, November 14.

It was in August that Johaug announced she was expecting her second child. In January, she and her husband, Nils Jakob Hoff, will become parents of two. The couple already has a daughter, Kristin, born on May 17, 2023.

Johaug also recently revealed that her pregnancy is the reason she decided not to pursue a comeback for this winter’s Olympic Games in Italy.
