LOS ANGELES, Calif. --

Charlie Sheen and wife Brooke are expecting their first child together – but will it be a boy or a girl?

“Odds are it’s a boy, but we’ll be happy with either sex,” Brooke told People.

Charlie – who has three daughters from previous relationships, Sam, 4, Lola, 3, and Cassandra, 23 – isn’t being picky.

“We’re just hoping for a healthy baby, but there’s a chance (for a boy) – odds are positive,” he said.

The couple confirmed the pregnancy last week, though both wished the news hadn’t gotten out so early.

“We were hoping to be a little further along before news got out,” Brooke said, with Charlie adding, “It would have been nice to do it on our terms.”

Either way, Dad will certainly keep the new baby rolling in diapers. According to TV Guide, Charlie is the highest-paid actor on television, pulling in $825,000 per episode for his starring role in top-rated CBS sitcom, “Two and a Half Men.”

The parents-to-be were married in May after two years of dating.
