FROM THE SET — Gender reveals are all the rage, especially for first-time parents and couples looking to mark another occasion celebrating the special expansion of their family.

One couple — a pair of Baltimore Ravens fans — took their surprise reveal to the next level on ESPN's "Monday Night Football" set.

The crew, led by Jason Kelce and Ryan Clark, revealed the gender of the couple's child live on national television before the Ravens' game against the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium, something they didn't know the couple slipped a note to host Scott Van Pelt on the set in the middle of the broadcast.

"I've never been this nervous on television," Van Pelt said before he opened an envelope with the results and passing the note under the desk to Clark, Kelce and analyst Marcus Spears.

After each analyst had seen the results and passed a note card down the row, the four broadcasters shouted in unison, "It's a boy!!" as the future mom and dad offered an emotional embrace live on national television.

"We're bringing families together," Van Pelt quipped. "It's a Thanksgiving miracle!"

The surprise reveal came just a few days after Kelce and his wife, Kylie, announced a fourth addition to their family with a unique Instagram post, when the mom-to-be posted a photo on her Instagram account of the couple's three daughters — including the emotional response of their daughter who realized she just moved up from baby of the family to middle child in one fell swoop.

Even better for the Baltimore fan couple, former BYU linebacker Kyle Van Noy and the Ravens beat the Bolts, 30-23 to improve to 8-4 on the season — just a half-game behind the Steelers for first place in the AFC North.

Congrats to all of the new and expanding families on Thanksgiving weekend.
