Jenna Wolfe appeared on Today to come out as gay and announce that she and her girlfriend, NBC journalist Stephanie Gosk, are expecting a daughter in August, according to US Weekly. Wolfe is a weekend anchor on the Today show.

“Of all the jaw-dropping, head-turning, and eye-popping things I’ve ever told my friends and family (‘I swam with killer sharks,’ ‘I jet-packed 30 feet out of the water,’ ‘I scaled the tallest building in Canada’), nothing garnered more shock and awe (and, yes, some tears) than when I told people I was pregnant,” she wrote in a blog post.

“Just writing those words — ‘I’m pregnant’ — is surreal to me,” she continued. “After all, I was never the kid that ran around playing house. I never had daydreams about being a mom and raising a family…As a kid, I would have chosen raising my adrenaline over raising children any day of the week. But then a funny thing happened on my way to adulthood…I grew up.”

Wolfe said the following about motherhood: “I’ve never changed a diaper. I don’t know how to decorate a nursery. I don’t really understand what a breast pump is. And don’t get me started on the feeding schedule,” she joked.

“Something just sort of told me it was time. Two years into a great relationship we felt like we wanted to share our adventures with a wide-eyed, little person,” she explained in her blog. “The more we talked about it, the better the idea seemed. And so in December, we embarked on Operation Baby. And might I just add that despite the morning sickness, it’s been the best decision we’ve ever made.”
