GENDER reveals seem to be getting more extravagant, and more expensive, every single week.
Parents-to-be are also doing their best to come up with unique concepts for how to reveal to the world whether they’re having a boy or a girl.
In a recent TikTok, one couple staged an elaborate reveal to share their gender announcement with family and friends.
The occasion saw two women standing on each side of what looked to be a giant ball, covered completely in grey fabric.
After what felt like a very long period of time, they pulled the fabric to reveal what was beneath.
And it was actually the mother and father, standing inside a giant plastic bubble.
Blue confetti shot up, as well as blue balloons swirling around inside the bubble.
The couple embraced and shared a tender kiss as the blue decorations kept darting around.
Their invited guests were all seen running around the bubble to try and get the perfect shot of the mum and dad, as they screamed with delight.
The couple also took to the caption, to write: “We are already very proud that we can become your parents,
“You are our little miracle. We love you so much.
“Thanks to everyone who helped us and was there.”
People were quick to comment on the gender reveal, with one writing: “It’s giving.. gender reveal in corona!”
Another pointed out that the reveal looked to be somewhat “violent”.
“It’s a…. Waste for the environment!” one commented.
“Oooh, I think this is so wrong!” someone else agreed.
“OMG, what a fuss!” another laughed.
“It’s…… embarrassing,” someone else said.
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.
Others took aim at the length of time between when the video starts and the big reveal.
“Takes too long,” one moaned.
“Long wait!!” another said.
As a third agreed, writing: “That all took far too long.”
“What a charade,” someone else sighed.
“Watched the whole thing and I’m STILL disappointed” another admitted.
