Shortly after announcing their baby news at a Blink-182 concert, Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker shared their baby's sex with a fun music-themed reveal. While they both sat behind a drum kit set up in their back yard, Travis gave a drum roll and a confetti cannon shot blue streamers into the air.
2. Shay Mitchell & Matte Babel
Shay Mitchell and her partner Matte Babel got creative with their baby's gender reveal -- but things accidentally went awry. For the reveal, the couple's friends dressed up as a Blue Power Ranger and a Pink Power Ranger to stage a fake battle in their backyard. Whoever won the battle would reveal the baby’s sex -- but the battle got cut short halfway through!
Unfortunately, when the battling Rangers jumped into the pool, they quickly realized it was impossible to breathe through a wet mask. Thankfully, they were able to get the masks off and moments later, the Pink Ranger was victorious.
3. Lala Kent & Randall Emmett
Before Lala Kent and Randall Emmett’s split, they were side-by-side as they announced the sex of their baby in 2020. In order to share the exciting news, the couple hired a skydiver and when their parachute popped open on their descent, it was pink on the inside.
"We're having a baby GIRL. I’m in love with you already and can't wait to be your mama," Lala wrote in a now-deleted video.
