Kya recently let her followers know she was pregnant and would soon reveal the child's gender in a future video. In the video teasing the reveal, relatives are standing in the snow giving their predictions.
"I am grandpa and I think it's going to be a girl. Year of girls," a man layered up in the cold says into the camera.
