Couple's Intimate And 'Perfect' Gender Reveal

If you’re not into colour canons or popping gender reveal balloons in front of family and friends, this couple has created the sweetest, intimate gender reveal and it’s won millions of hearts.

Dad-to-be Sean Jenkins shared the adorable gender reveal video on TikTok, and it’s since amassed nine million views.

The simple idea involves nothing more than a cupcake, filled with either blue or pink cream. In the video both Sean and his fiancé take a bite from either side of the cupcake, and their faces light up with joy and shock as they learn they’re having a little boy.

The adorable video attracted hundreds of comments, with many proclaiming it the ‘perfect’ gender reveal.

“I love how intimate this is, instead of a huge gathering,” wrote one commenter.

Christina adding: “I’ve found it. The perfect gender reveal! Intimate, private and romantic. Congratulations!”

“Love this! Low key, intimate. Not a big show off thing for everyone one else’s entertainment! Perfect!”

Sean explains he met his future wife in Costa Rica nine months ago, with the couple conceiving just three days after meeting. They became engaged two months later, and are eagerly awaiting the arrival of their bundle of joy!

Sounds perfect to me. I must admit I have never really understood the whole gender reveal thing and would much perfer to keep that quiet until bub is born but thats my personal preferance. Ive never even been to one and dont understand if its just an excuse for a party or are people supposed ot bring gifts?

I prefer this type of quiet intimate gender reveal, but I do wonder if it’s just a way to get more followers etc by putting it online for the world to see.

I prefer this type of reveal than some of the other outlandish ideas so far. The money everyone wastes on throwing gender reveal parties could be put to better use for the child’s benefit. Love this idea and congratulations to them both

Sorry to sound like a pedant but if you want to keep it intimate (and fair play to you for that!) why even post it on tik tok etc? ( it says it has gathered 9 million views, that’s not intimate!!!)

I love the intimacy of this gender reveal, it’s so much nicer than the big reveal, definitely better than my reveal

This is how gender reveals should be! I think over the top gender reveals are extremely tacky.

Perfect gender reveal. Don’t need everyone to see if happening there and then. Keep it private and share it later.

Whilst I still don’t get a gender reveal this is much better and more intimate than the flashy showy gender reveals all over insta and tik tok. But why do you have to film it and share it with anyone?

So much nicer to be between the two of them than some of the more bigger parties for this to be done. Congratulations and hope all goes well.
