A couple has been slammed online for creating a “very weird” gender reveal with their two daughters. Lauren and Christopher, parents to two daughters in the U.S.

, were keen to learn what sex their third baby would be. So when it came to the gender reveal, they knew their celebration had to be one-of-a-kind. Unfortunately, not everyone was impressed by their stunt, with some labeling it as “weird” and the “worst gender reveal ever”.

Lauren and Christopher, dressed head to toe in white, stood in front of a stunning backdrop in America’s west. Their two daughters, Kennedy, 10, and McKenna, four, were standing between them on a large white tarp, holding a clear umbrella above their heads. “I’m so excited,” one of the daughters said in the now-viral TikTok .

The parents were holding a bucket in their hands and standing above their daughters, who were looking down in preparation for what was to come. Then came the actual gender reveal: pouring paint on the two kids. If the paint is pink, they would be having a girl, and if it’s blue, they’d be having a boy.

The big moment was finally happening, with Lauren and Christopher dumping the contents of the buckets all over their two kids. And the color? Pink! Maybe? Or was it red? Speaking to a fan after the video went viral, Lauren confirmed the color was “magenta pink”, not red as many had assumed, and looked exactly how she had hoped. Later, she further explained why she chose to involve her kids in the gend.
