“I’m doing this because I want to troll her and Olympia into thinking that this is the reveal of Jelly Bean,” Ohanian said in the clip, referring to the pet name they have for their baby on the way.
Added the Reddit co-founder, “She will cut into this cake and probably be disappointed and hopefully appreciate my troll. But we’ll see. I don’t know if she’s gonna be a professional about it. She might see this cake come out, roll her eyes and say, ‘This guy had one job and he gave me a g–damn cake gender reveal.’ But we’ll see. There’s a reveal after the reveal.”
When Serena discovered that the cake was yellow inside, she smiled, put it on a plate and pretended to smoosh the slice into Ohanian’s face.
“We are actually going to reveal Jelly Bean’s sex. The way we’re going to do it, though, is with a little style and some spectacular lights.” Ohanian said. He then requested the DJ to play some music and “draw attention to the heavens.” The guests looked up and watched drones light up the sky, spelling out “Girl!”, with Serena, Ohanian and Olympia shouting their joy and guests applauding in reaction.
