Rivky Blau waited until her second trimester to tell her husband they're expecting identical twins in their tenth pregnancy. His disbelieving reaction went viral.
Content creator and businesswoman Rivky Blau managed to surprise her husband in a big way. In a video posted to her Instagram account, Blau documented the moment she told him she's pregnant with their tenth child—and that this time, they're expecting identical twins.
What made the announcement even more surprising: Blau waited until the 18th week of her pregnancy to reveal to her husband that she was carrying twins.
"Are you messing with me?"
Her husband's reaction was likely exactly what one would expect from a father discovering midway through a pregnancy that the family is about to grow not by one child, but by two. At first, he simply didn't believe her and was convinced she was playing a prank.
Caught between laughter and shock, the couple tried to process the news together as he continued to suspect she was joking. As he gradually realized she was serious, the shock gave way to more laughter—and the amusing moment quickly went viral.
The video attracted significant attention and numerous responses. Alongside congratulations and well-wishes for the expanding family, critical comments also appeared. Some viewers blessed the couple, wished them success raising their children, and were moved by the father's humorous reaction. Others, however, used the video to criticize large Haredi families, with some claiming that secular taxpayers would have to "work harder" to support them.
Amid the debate that developed in the comments, the moment itself remained striking: a father discovering he's about to become a parent to 11 children—with the two newest additions being identical twins—and simply unable to believe his wife isn't pulling his leg.
