However, a few months later, Rowland, accidentally spilled the secret during a red carpet interview in London with Bang Showbiz in October 2011.
The slip-up came when Rowland was asked what she planned to give Beyoncé as a present for the baby shower.
'[I don't know what I'll get for the present because] Jay-Z is going to buy that little girl every single thing possible ... she won't be spoiled but she will be very well looked after,' Rowland said.
While reflecting on the incident, Rowland told Mann that her choice of using the pronoun 'she' just, 'kind of slipped out' and she panicked when it happened.
Rowland also suggested that while Beyoncé was 'disappointed' with her accidentally revealing the gender of the baby, the slip-up didn't ruin their friendship.
'I felt terrible because its not my news [to share with the rest of the world]. I didn't mean it like that,' she said.
