Loose Women star Coleen, 59, previously mentioned he son with ex Shane Richie was expecting.
She wrote in her Mirror column: “I can finally reveal that I’m going to be a grandmother again, as they’re expecting a baby at the end of the year.
“On Saturday, a few of us got together at my house for the gender reveal and, just as I said, ‘I think it’s a boy’, Jake let off the confetti gun and turned the living room blue. I couldn’t be more thrilled about having a grandson.”
Once upon a time Jake, 32, was the lead singer of pop-rock band Rixton and was close pals with Justin Bieber and Ed Sheeran.
He toured with Ed and lived in his home, and was signed to Justin’s controversial manager Scooter Braun.
The singer and actor discussed his fall from grace earlier this year and said he was “blown to smithereens” when it all came crashing down – and he ended up signing on the dole.
The 32-year-old told The Times: “We (Rixton) kicked off big time in America.
“It’s your classic story of a teen pop star who gets it all and loses it all … [I had] an existential crisis at the end of my twenties … “
Jake was engaged to Little Mix star Jesy Nelson for a time, too, but they broke up in 2016.
“I broke up with Jesy and moved into Ed Sheeran’s house … I think he [Ed] just was just like, ‘I’m a bit worried about this dude,’” he continued.
“A lot of people go to a beach in Thailand and drop acid – I just happened to do it in Ed Sheeran’s back garden … “
