She wrote: 'POV: I broke up with my man for 2 months and he went on a side quest to become a dad so now I get to help him raise a sweet baby girl.'
Desiree shared the 'surprise' news in a video filmed at her partner's gender reveal with the other woman.
The clip showed the former couple standing together in front of friends and family as they popped a streamer of pink tape, indicating they were having a daughter.

And a third commented: 'May this love never find me.'
Others compared the situation to the Handmaid's Tale, where babies born to 'Handmaids' are immediately given away to rich families, to have as their own.
However, some people shared support for the pregnant woman involved with the drama.
One wrote: 'I'm so devastated for the other girl involved.
'She has to birth the baby and then share it with whatever your situation is…'
One agreed: 'My heart hurts for the pregnant mama.'
Here's why I love being a young mum
Tracy Kiss, who fell pregnant at 19, has revealed what she believes are the pros of being a young mother.
The personal trainer and blogger, from Buckinghamshire, believes women who give birth in their teens make BETTER mothers than those in their 30s.
She claims young mums snap back into shape quicker, have more energy and relate more easily to their children, meaning they're better behaved and happier.
Tracy told Fabulous: "Women who become first-time mums in their teens make better parents than those in their 30s or 40s.
"I believe if I'd been 10 or so years older before becoming a mother then I wouldn't have the relationship I have with my children now.
"For a start, being older I would have had less energy and therefore less patience.
"I wouldn't be as enthusiastic to speak to people after months of sleepless nights as I was in my teens.
"My body snapped back to its pre-pregnancy size through fitness post-birth, which in turn gave me the confidence to date and find love again. I've never been happier than I am now at the age of 30 with two children.
"If I'd have been alone at 40 with a newborn baby I'd be more tired, less happy with my body, less energetic and far more stressed from the shock of living my life for myself instead of putting others first. Sometimes age and the innocence of ignorance is a good thing.
"As a teen mum I just got on with it, found my feet and became responsible and capable because at the time I didn't know any different."
