Jenna Wolfe and Stephanie Gosk competed
to determine who would carry the couple's baby.
Wolfe, the weekend anchor for NBC's
Today Show, last week announced she is expecting her first
child with her partner Gosk, an NBC News correspondent.
“This is the most exciting thing that
has ever happened to us,” Wolfe told People.com.
“But I don't want to bring my daughter into a world where I'm not
comfortable telling everyone who I am and who her mother is.”
The couple is planning to marry but did
not reveal any details.
Wolfe told E!
News how the women decided who would carry the baby, a girl due
in August.
“We rock-paper-scissored it,” Wolfe
said. “I won 34-31. So, I'm carrying the baby, bam.”
She added that she came out to set a
positive example for her child.
“I think if you're not who you are,
you're going to have a hard time explaining to your kids why it's
okay to wake up every day and walk out into the world proud of who
they are.”
“We have got nothing but positive
feedback,” said Wolfe.
