Dad-to-be slammed over 'red flag' response to finding out gender of his baby

A dad-to-be has come under fire for how he reacted to the news he was having a little boy.

Expectant mum Hannah shared her gender reveal on her TikTok @hannah.j.c16 in a video that has been viewed more than 20 million times with the caption: "We're sooo ready to meet you."

The clip shows Hannah throwing a ball at her boyfriend Travis, who plays baseball for the University of New Orleans.

Travis hits the ball square on, releasing blue pigment to signal that they're having a boy.

Hannah puts her hands to her face with excitement and begins running towards Travis, but he has other ideas.

Instead of hugging Hannah, he runs towards the baseball team who all begin chanting and jumping around him while Hannah is standing on the sidelines.

Since being posted, the video has racked up more than 2.9 million likes and 55,000 comments from people who were all saying the same thing about the reaction.

One person said: "Don't forget to hug the momma."

Another wrote: "I'm gonna need a public formal apology from the guys."

A third commented: "Not 'the boys' stealing a moment between mother and father. Congrats on the baby," to which Hannah replied saying: "Haha it's ok! They were too excited."

"Did they forget who was carrying the baby?" said someone else.

And one other person put: "But he went straight to the friends meanwhile you were headed straight for him."

In a follow-up video, Hannah said she was not upset at all but thanked her followers for defending her.

"Yes, he should have run and hugged me and he knows that and he feels terrible, but he's not a red flag at all," she said.

"He's the best boyfriend in the whole world and he's going to make the best dad, so that's OK. Y'all can leave him alone."

Travis was sitting beside her in the video and agreed, saying he loves Hannah.
