Actress Kerry Washington is keeping the sex of her yet-to-be-born baby a surprise.

The 36-year-old showed off her baby bump in a Balenciaga gown on the red carpet of the 71st Golden Globe Awards Jan 12, but did not reveal any birth details, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

Washington married retired American football star Nnamdi Asomugha last year.

When asked if she and Asomugha would find out the sex of the baby, she said: "No, keeping it a surprise."

She also mentioned that she'll be hiding her pregnancy on TV drama "Scandal", adding, "We're handling it...Costume designer Lyn Paolo and I are having a really good time in keeping the fashion elevated, but still making room for this little human."
