Ukrainian TV presenter Vladimir Ostapchuk, together with his wife Kateryna, publicly announced that their family is expecting a boy. The couple revealed the sex of their unborn baby in a joint Instagram post, publishing a video of a home gender party filmed together with their one-year-old son Tymofiy. As the outlet Wave (RBC-Ukraine) notes, the spouses learned the baby's sex some time ago but deliberately chose not to rush to share the news with their followers, keeping the suspense until they organized a festive family event.
How the home gender party went
In the published clip, Vladimir Ostapchuk read out the doctors' findings from his smartphone, which confirmed the sex of the future child. The presenter deliberately dragged out the moment, maintaining the suspense, before revealing the finale: Kateryna is expecting a boy. Delivering the news in the format of a family video became a way for the couple not just to state a fact, but to share an emotional moment of anticipation with their audience, involving their one-year-old son Tymofiy in the celebration as well.
The showman's fourth child
For Vladimir Ostapchuk, this baby will be his fourth child, while for his wife Kateryna it will be the second. Thus, the family continues to grow: the couple already has a son, Tymofiy, who recently turned one, and now another boy is on the way. The spouses emphasized that the decision to reveal the baby's sex publicly was deliberate and timed to coincide with the home celebration, rather than with the moment of the medical examination.
Vladimir Ostapchuk's family
It is worth recalling that the TV presenter also has two older children from his first marriage to Yelena Voychenko — a daughter, Emilia, and a son, Evan. In total, including the expected boy, Vladimir Ostapchuk's family will have four children, while Kateryna will have two. The public announcement of the pregnancy and the baby's sex became a continuation of their open communication with followers on social media, where the couple regularly shares family moments.
Context and details of the announcement
According to Wave, a key feature of the announcement was that the information about the baby's sex had long been known to the parents themselves, yet they kept it secret until the gender party was organized. This allowed the couple to turn a medical finding into an occasion for a family celebration and a public video. The material is based on the spouses' joint Instagram post and contains no contradictions in the key facts: the baby's sex, its ordinal number in the family, and the composition of Vladimir Ostapchuk's family are consistent across all verified sources.
