Pregnant couple gobsmacked as father's awkward mishap ruins gender reveal

In recent years, it's been a common trend that expecting parents host gender reveals to announce their exciting news to close friends and family.

The event typically sees the pregnant couple unveiling their baby's gender in creative ways - from cutting a cake with coloured icing inside to popping a balloon.

Couple Jasmin and Artan - who are expecting twins - were excited to reveal the gender of their two babies before an accidental mishap ruined the surprise.

Taking to popular video-streaming service TikTok, the duo shared the exact moment it all went wrong with their gender reveal balloons.

The couple - who post under account @jeytothelo - revealed the moment that Artan accidentally let the helium balloon slip out of his hand.

Once the expecting father went to pop the balloon with a pin, his grip slipped, allowing it to float into the sky and out of reach.

Despite his desperate attempt to jump up and catch the balloon, the couple and guests watched helplessly as it flew high in the sky.

While it was undoubtedly shocking, Jasmin and Artan struggled to contain their laughter as they saw the funny side of the whole ordeal.

Since sharing the video online, the TikTok has raked in over 650 comments - where people were in stitches over the accidental mishap.

One person wrote: "So funny."

"HE/SHE REFUSED," someone else joked alongside three laughing emojis.

A third person added: "Oh no, now they never knew."

A different user penned: "That's why don't do a balloon outside."

The couple aren't the only duo who experienced a gender reveal fail recently, as one bakery accidentally spoiled the moment for two different expecting parents too, leaving them in stitches.
