Not all gender reveal parties are created equally, and some result in absolute disasters for those involved. That may not be the case for one couple, whose TikTok video shows the new mom’s male bestie trying to ruin the sweet moment, but the incident is pretty close to ruining the event for the parents-to-be.
In the TikTok video, as a couple learns the gender of their baby, a friend almost immediately joins them to hug them. He is then pulled away by another friend. Because of that, a moment of awkwardness happens before the new parents resume their celebration. But the damage was done, at least where other TikTokers are concerned. They sounded off in the comments about why the mom’s friend might have felt the need to intrude on the couple’s celebratory moment.
Some people at the gender reveal think the friend is actually the real dad.

In the video, which was posted by the dad-to-be, text on the screen says, “pov- your wife’s best friend tries to ruin the moment.” So, at the very least, he seems to be a good sport about it. The video ends with another friend pulling the wife’s bestie away so the parents-to-be can enjoy their moment while blue smoke lights up the sky and lets everyone know that it’s a boy. But the fact that his wife’s male best friend feels the need to jump in just when the gender reveal is, well, revealed, is cause for concern for some people.
As one does for a viral TikTok video, people flew to the comment section to see what other people said and either share their own two cents or agree with them. For the most part, people are pretty suspicious about why the wife’s bestie would ruin the moment literally everyone at the party was waiting for.
One person commented, “Bro hugged you because now you gotta deal with his kid bro” and added a crying emoji. This is, of course, in reference to the theory in the comment section that the wife’s best friend is the dad and knows it, and that he hugged the husband to thank him in advance for raising the unborn baby.
Although most of the comments are all about joking at the husband’s expense, they do have a common thread: People think the wife’s male best friend is, well, more than a friend.
“Don’t listen to these comments bro you going to make a great stepfather,” one person commented on the clip.
Really, the number of unserious comments is hard to miss when it comes to the nearly ruined gender reveal. After the video was posted, the original poster didn’t share any other TikToks about his soon-to-be born baby or about anything else. Some TikTok users think they essentially chased him away with their negative comments. Though to be fair, he had to have known what to expect when he wrote in the post himself that his wife’s best friend tried to “ruin the moment.”
