Rose (who was already in the know!) can’t contain her laughter once her husband whacks the ball, as it takes him a little while to realize he justrevealed the sex of his childon camera.
“We did the ‘sneak peek’ gender test when Rose was pregnant with Ryder, and Eli and I got to surprise her … so this time it was her turn. And ‘boy’ she really got me good,” Atkins tells PEOPLE exclusively.
