When asked about possible names, Mike joked the pair are considering “Covey or Covina” to commemorate 2020.
The proud spouse added that while he’s happy to share the news with the world, his daughters aren’t aware they’re getting a new sibling -- yet.
“We haven’t told Mia just because we knew she would tell everyone at school,” Mike explained. “We will tell her now that we’ve gone through the scan. Yes, of course, we will tell her.

“I think she’ll be happy about it,” he continued. “She has been requesting another sister or brother, so we’ve hopefully fulfilled that role for her. She just wants something different now. Lena is growing up - she’s two-and-a-half now. She wants someone younger to play with and dress up.”
Mike admitted that the expectant mom wasn’t aware he would be making an announcement to the public.

Tindall is the daughter of Princess Anne and Mark Phillips. She was a champion equestrian who went by her maiden name Zara Phillips. She switched to her married name in 2015. The pair originally tied the knot in 2011.
