Lacroix revealed the sex of the baby with a message on Instagram: 'One great man in my life, second on the way.'
De Bruyne's long-term girlfriend has travelled to various sporting events to support the Belgian star, including the World Cup, in Brazil, last summer.
Manchester City's record signing has hit the ground running at the Etihad, netting in his last three matches in all competitions.
However, De Bruyne's inclusion in the team has coincided with two defeats in their last two for City.
Despite the team's poor form, De Bruyne has netted both of City's goals in matches against West Ham and Tottenham.
Wolfsburg sporting director Klaus Allofs said he has now quadrupled his wage since leaving the German outfit.
Allofs admits it was impossible to keep hold of their star man following City's big-money offer.
Speaking to Die Welt, he said: 'We spent a long time weighing up all our options and trying to keep Kevin at Wolfsburg. But at some point, we reached the conclusion that it would be best to allow him to move.
