(CBS) New Kids on the Block's Joey McIntyre couldn't keep his baby's gender a secret for long. After initially refusing, he recently revealed the sex of the baby he and his wife Barrett Williams are expecting - it's a baby girl!

McIntyre and Williams are expecting the baby in late May.

In an interview with People back in March McIntyre said, "We aren't telling the sex of the baby ... not even to PEOPLE.com."

McIntyre's rep confirmed to E! News that the singer revealed his secret while traveling with the band on their Carnival cruise on Sunday.

McIntyre, 38, and his wife already have two boys: Griffin Thomas, 3 ½, and Rhys Edwards, 17 months.
