Romantic Date Night Becomes a Surprise Baby Announcement

One minute you’re enjoying a nice romantic evening painting at home, and the next thing you know you’re going to be a father.

Christina Kelley had been planning a date night with her husband, Ryan, for several weeks. They finally settled on a night of painting on small canvases in their kitchen at home. They would sit on opposite sides of the table, each working on their own masterpiece, a portrait of each other.

Christina had other plans. She revealed that earlier in the week, an at-home test revealed she was pregnant.

For nearly three hours, Ryan meticulously painted his version of Christina in anticipation of a big reveal once he finished. On the other side of the table, his wife was working on a surprise canvas with the words “Baby Kelley, Est. 2025.”

Ryan never saw it coming.

The video of the pregnancy announcement has already amassed more than 2 million views on Christina’s TikTok.

Prior to posting it, her most popular video had around 2,000 views. The account currently has less than 1,000 followers.

Needless to say, she wasn’t expecting this level of attention either. Since sharing the video, the couple has made their media rounds, including an interview with People.

“I don’t think either of us expected that amount of reaction to the video,” Christina said in an interview with the outlet. “It’s all been really positive and exciting.”

She has continued to share content for the couple’s newfound fans, including one video from an ultrasound and another from a recent gender reveal cake cutting.

“This was the perfect way to surprise him with the news,” Christina said on TikTok.
