These expecting parents pulled off their epic gender reveal with flying colors.
Temporarily turning the friendly skies pink and blue, a couple, Katrín María Blöndal, 24, and Anton Örn Hilmarsson, 27, hosted a celebration — attended by complete strangers — to toast their incoming infant during a flight to Paris.
“This might be the first time in history that someone finds out the gender of their baby somewhere over the North Atlantic,” a flight attendant with Iceland’s PLAY Airlines announced to a cabin full of excited passengers-turned-partygoers.
Air travelers held up small pink or blue cards, indicating their best guesses on the baby’s gender, per Instagram footage of the super-fly fête.
Katrín and Anton, from Reykjavik, Iceland, then made their way to the front of the plane, where a customized cake, topped with decorative baby elephants and edible pearls, and Champagne flutes were waiting.
The pair, already parents of two young sons and a daughter from previous relationships, used the glasses to scoop into the confection, which boasted a thick layer of blue frosting — revealing that their little love-to-be is a boy.
“We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect way to find out — we’re having a boy,” Katrín and Anton said in a statement to The Post.
The sweethearts began dating in January 2024, after years of close friendship. Anton works as a forklift operator for a pharmaceutical company, and Katrín is in school studying Education and Pedagogy.
“This is our first child together,” they added, “and to have the big reveal take place in the sky was unforgettable.”
It’s a memorable milestone that many mommies and daddies like to mark in a major way.
While some posh pregnant people prefer to learn the sex of their buns in the oven with $20,000 Birkin bags, others, such as Florida-based foodie Rosanna Fontana, favor meatballs as their gender reveal goodies.
Then, of course, there are daredevils like influencer Lele Pons, who detonated faux TNT to explosively determine whether she’d soon be welcoming a son or daughter.
The splashiness of a baby-themed bomb notwithstanding, Katrín and Anton are content with their slightly more discreet shindig at 30,000 feet.
“We’re incredibly grateful to the crew for making this such a special flight,” the twosome told The Post. “We’ll never forget.”
