Watch the moment two ‘babies’ fight in ‘world’s weirdest gender reveal’ that people are calling ‘ridiculous and stupid’
TIKTOKKERS have been left scratching their heads after watching what’s been dubbed “the weirdest gender reveal of the year”.
Gender reveals have become big business in recent years as expectant couples host a party with some sort of entertainment to announce the gender of their unborn child.
This typically takes the form of cutting into a cake to show blue or pink filling, popping a balloon filled with either colour confetti, or even using smoke guns and fireworks.
But for one couple, a cake or fireworks wouldn’t cut it.
Instead, they decided to add a flare of drama into their reveal… rather than an actual flame.
Mum-to-be Sev, 25, enlisted the help of two adults dressed in girl and boy baby costumes to reveal the gender of her unborn baby.
The “babies” were asked to fight one another in front of the party.
The fight wasn’t too extreme, though – just a bit of tussling, pushing and shoving that you’d expect from stroppy infants.
The winner (spoiler alert: it’s a boy) eventually pushed the girl baby to the floor before running over to the parents to congratulate them.
Sev posted a clip of her unconventional gender reveal on TikTok and it has since gone viral.
The 30 second video has totted up well over eight MILLION views – and social media users aren’t sure how to feel about it.
“I just want to know how this idea came to you,” one woman commented.
“This is the weirdest thing I’ve seen all year… maybe ever,” another laughed.
“This is so random, but I absolutely love it,” a third penned.
Others failed to see the humorous side of the entertainment and slammed gender reveal parties as “ridiculous and stupid”.
The concept has grown quite popular in recent years.
The world's most expensive gender reveals
GENDER reveals are becoming bigger and more elaborate day by day, with people constantly thinking of different ways to up those before them.
And money is no issue for a lot of these couples – with some spending hundreds or thousands on the event.
Read on for some of the most expensive gender reveals in history.
Ste Hamilton
Wealthy property tycoon and YouTuber Ste Hamilton decided to gift his wife-to-be Isabella Rowles with a £300,000 Lamborghini, which would be in either pink or blue to reflect their baby’s gender.
Steven and Isabella and friends and family attended an extravagant event at the Belfry Hotel and Resort near Birmingham to find out they were having a baby boy.
“It was worth every second of the hard work to see the happiness in everyone’s faces on the day,” Ste said, after spending a further £40,000 on the big reveal.
Logan Paul
The wrestling star and YouTuber and fiancee Nina Agdal staged a public wrestling match for their gender reveal.
A wrestler in pink trunks took on one in blue, with the one in pink emerging victorious – signifying that they are having a baby girl.
Inga Stumbriene
The Lithuanian influencer hired planes to fly in the sky as she, her fiance and their nearest and dearest watched.
The planes dropped a load of blue confetti – revealing the pair were having a boy – but people insisted it was the “most polluted” gender reveal ever.
Anonymous couple
One of the most recent jaw-dropping gender reveals happened in May 2024, when a couple decided to DYE a waterfall to reveal if they were having a boy or girl.
After the videos circulated on the social media, the public demanded for the couple to be punished, with some suggesting they should go to jail.
Others were concerned about water contamination, as the pair had used a powdered chemical known as “Blue Lagoon” into the Queima-Pe River, which feeds the waterfall.
This is mainly due to social media, as many soon-to-be mums and dads often try to one-up each other with creativity.
And while gender reveal parties can be fun and exciting, they’ve also faced criticism for being “self-indulgent” and even bad for the environment in some cases.
Sev is yet to respond to the mass response that her viral video has sparked.
