Watch couple’s ‘mad’ & messy OTT gender reveal that sends mum flying, as people say they’d ‘return baby to sender’
A COUPLE has sparked outrage with their OTT gender reveal, which ended with the mum-to-be falling over.
Lele Pons is expecting her first child with husband Guaynaa, and the pair recently decided to host a huge event to find out if they were expecting a boy or girl.
At the extravagant event, the couple put their hands on a pretend “TNT” plunger, as two groups of people stood beneath two signs – one of which said “It’s a Boy”, and the other “It’s a Girl”.
Those underneath the signs wore hooded plastic ponchos – hinting at what was to come.
And after the parents-to-be pushed the plunger, a stream of pink gunge shot out of containers above – covering the people beneath.
But the chaos didn’t stop there.
As Guaynaa jumped for joy, Lele attempted to express her excitement too.
However, as she had been standing on the ‘girl’ side of the stage, the pink liquid covered the floor beneath her.
And because of that, Lele ended up taking a tumble – slipping over dramatically.
She then tried to get up, and slipped again.
Seeing his wife struggling, Guaynaa chivalrously jumped over the ledge at the front of the stage to get to her side.
Lele laughed off any discomfort as her hubby swept her up, before the pair embraced in delight.
Pink streamers also came down from the ceiling to signify the gender of the baby, as everyone celebrated the happy news.
However, people in the comments section weren’t quite as convinced about the gender reveal – which would have most likely set them back several thousands.
“Baby almost returned to sender,” one sighed.
“This is so dangerous!” another insisted.
“Blessings and congratulations but that’s a very bad idea,” a third wrote.
“Omg this is so dangerous. Not even funny,” someone else raged.
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.
“That is the worst gender reveal I have ever seen,” another commented.
“A girl but at what cost?” someone else said
“It was almost not any gender!”
While others took aim at the organisers of the gender reveal, with one questioning: “This could have ended so bad, shame on you guys for not prioritising the safety of the mom and the baby“.
“As event professionals we have to do better with risk assessment and ensure our clients are better cared for,” another wrote.
“Sometimes saying NO is ok for their safety. This could have been tragic and thank God it wasn’t.”
“The weirdest baby reveal I’ve ever seen,” a third added.
“Very dangerous – she could’ve had a miscarriage and also could have hurt herself.
“The people behind her should’ve been in a little boxed off area separated from them.
“Why were they literally standing in the slime?!”
“Who came up with such a terrible idea?” someone else queried.
“The wellbeing of the mother and the baby should always come first!”
