A Cuban woman identified as Yane Princess (@yaneprincess1) captured an emotional moment when she told her partner that he will be a father in a video posted this Wednesday on TikTok.
In the 53-second clip, the young woman leads her partner with their eyes closed into a room where she has placed a stuffed animal on a bed as a symbol of the baby on the way.
Upon discovering the surprise, they both embrace each other excitedly in a scene that captures the joy of the moment.
In the background, the romantic song "Yo por tu amor, volvería a vivir" plays, its lyrics reinforcing the sentimental tone of the advertisement.
The video description mentions @mulatico, who is said to be the partner of the content creator.
These types of pregnancy announcement videos are part of a growing trend on TikTok among young Cuban couples, both on the island and in the diaspora.
The format consists of surprising the couple with symbolic objects —stuffed animals, pacifiers, or pregnancy tests— while recording their reaction in real time.
The Cuban community has been at the forefront of several of these viral moments in recent years. In January 2025, a Cuban named Joaquín went viral as he reacted with jumps and screams of joy upon finding a pregnancy test in his partner's shopping cart, in a video that surpassed 54 million views.
In September 2024, Cuban Mara Herrera, residing in Florida, revealed to her husband that they were expecting twins in a clip that garnered over 646,500 views.
In March 2026, another Cuban received a pacifier and two positive pregnancy tests inside a car and reacted with surprise and joy in a video that also circulated widely.
More recently, in May 2026, the pregnancy announcement of rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine alongside the Cuban Aliday Alter sparked controversy and surpassed 433,000 views within a few hours.
The spontaneity and emotion of these reactions—tears, hugs, jumps of joy—are the elements that most drive the virality of this type of content both within and outside the Cuban community on social media.
