The celebrity chef, 46, is pregnant and expecting twins with husband Allan Stewart in November, she announced Mondayduring a segment on theTodayshow.

Adds Arpaia, “That love felt so authentic and that opened my heart to adoption.”

But then, after one final round of IVF, the couple’s 6½-year-old son Alessandro had a surprise: He knew his mom was pregnant after a conversation, he says, he had with God.

“I said, ‘Alessandro, did you read a story at school? Where did this idea come from?’ He said, ‘God,’ ” Arpaia says. “I said, ‘Where are these babies coming from?’ He said, ‘From your belly, Mommy.’ ”

Weeks later, Arpaia found out she was pregnant — and would, indeed, be welcoming twins. Although Alessandro’s dream included specifics about the babies’ sexes — a boy to be named Noah and a girl to be named Emma — doctors initially told Arpaia she was pregnant with twin sons.

But now, reveals Arpaia, she’s been told there is some uncertainty surrounding the sexes and she could be carrying a boy and a girl.

“I still can’t believe it is possible,” theIron Chefstar says.
