Steve Aoki’s pregnancy reveal
The couple, who got married in 2024, first announced the pregnancy in January during Aoki’s concert at Barasti Beach in Dubai. He called it their “biggest collaboration yet” as Sasha joined him on stage.
“This is a special moment. This is my wife, and we're having a baby," Aoki told the crowd.
The gender reveal was pure Aoki style. A white cake decorated with “Aoki” in blue and pink letters was brought out. Sasha smashed the cake on his face as blue confetti and smoke filled the air, confirming they were expecting a boy. “It’s a boy,” flashed on the screen as the couple kissed. Aoki, covered in frosting, shouted to the crowd, “We’re having a boy!”
On Instagram, he shared the moment, writing, “The most important cake of my life….. IT’S A BOY @sashaaoki.” Sasha posted her own clip with the caption, “Our biggest collaboration yet. Baby Aoki loading @steveaoki #genderreveal #babyboy.” Aoki commented, “The best mom right here.”
