It seems Al Roker, who will soon become a first time grandfather, can't escape inadvertent updates about his daughter's pregnancy.
The Today Show host confirmed in March that his eldest daughter, Courtney Roker Laga, is expecting her first child with husband Wesley Laga.
At the time, he revealed that he learned of her pregnancy by accident, when his son-in-law's brother accidentally made him aware of the news, and now a similar slip up, this time from Courtney herself, led him to discover the sex of the baby, who is due in June.

Al had previously expressed to his daughter that he wanted the sex of his first grandchild to be a surprise, but the secret didn't last very long.
The beloved weatherman spoke to Entertainment Tonight on the red carpet, as he was honored at the Broadcasting and Cable Hall of Fame Awards' 31st Anniversary Gala in New York City on Wednesday, and explained the slipup.

He then explained that while he had preferred not to know, after he saw a sonogram picture from his daughter over text, and told her: "That baby looks just like you," Courtney inadvertently replied with: "Doesn't she?" revealing that she would be having a baby girl.
