A man in California is facing intense criticism online after a video from his gender reveal celebration began circulating on TikTok, showing him spraying blue smoke directly toward his pregnant partner’s face as guests watched. The clip shows the couple standing outdoors beneath a leafy garden arch, surrounded by friends and family who had gathered to witness the reveal. Each of them held a handheld smoke canister, which they activated at the same time, releasing thick blue smoke into the air to signal that they were expecting a boy.
However, as the smoke continued to billow, the man appeared to turn his canister toward his partner and spray it in her direction. The sudden cloud hit close to the woman’s face, causing her to turn her head away almost immediately. She even stopped spraying her own canister and appeared momentarily stunned by what had just happened.
Probably realizing that his action may have crossed a line, the man quickly stopped spraying and moved toward his pregnant partner to check whether she was okay. Fortunately, it appeared she had not been injured, as she later tried to get even with him by spraying some of the blue smoke back toward him, which he laughed off.
After the brief exchange, the couple moved closer together, and the man lifted his canister upward to release more smoke while holding his partner near him as the reveal wrapped up.
Their Attire Also Drew Attention
Beyond the smoke incident itself, many viewers also fixated on the couple’s noticeably different appearances at the event. The woman dressed up for the occasion, wearing a flowing white gown that emphasized the celebratory nature of the moment and highlighted her pregnancy.
By contrast, the man appeared far more casually dressed. He wore a black-and-gray flannel shirt layered over a white T-shirt, paired with dark shorts and sneakers. The relaxed outfit stood out sharply against the formality of his partner’s look and the significance of the event.
Netizens’ Reaction to the California Gender Reveal Video
In the comments section under the post, many people questioned what the man was thinking, particularly given that his partner was pregnant. Some felt the action came across as careless at best and deliberately disrespectful at worst. One person wrote, “Girl you are pregnant and he just sprayed chemical in your face?” Another said, “Just so you know, this wasn’t okay of him.” A third remarked, “We need to learn to read red flags b4 its too late.”
Several viewers were also convinced the man’s action was intentional. “He definitely did that on purpose,” one netizen stated, while another commented, “I didn’t even smile that’s how unfunny this was.”
A few others focused on his appearance, questioning his lack of effort. “Oh honey what is he wearing in this?? goodness. Wishing you the best,” one comment read. Someone else added, “He just rolled out of bed.”
