Man learns wife’s pregnant on kiss-cam at Orlando Magic game. ‘Best Thanksgiving ever’
It was a game one Orlando Magic fan won’t soon forget.
That’s because a kiss-cam pregnancy announcement on Nov. 24 caught James Baily by surprise, video posted by the Orlando Magic on Twitter shows.
“Congrats James! You are going to be a dad!” the basketball team posted.
The video captures James beaming with joy and throwing his hands up in the air — a moment his wife Taylor Wheaton Baily planned to the “T.”
“My husband has always dreamed of me telling him in a really cool way,’‘ Taylor told WESH. “So I thought it would be neat to get on the kiss cam.”
Taylor told the outlet she learned she was pregnant a few days ago and wanted to do something special to tell James. She planned the surprise “in secret” and filled her parents in before the big day.
“I saw the ‘Kiss Cam,’ I saw the camera up on me. I figured alright, we’re on the Kiss Cam, that’s pretty cool, we’ve always wanted to do something like that,” James told WOFL. “And I looked up on the screen and saw, ‘Congrats James! You are going to be a dad!’ and that’s just when my jaw dropped. Just total shock at that moment.”
Although the Orlando Magic lost to the Charlotte Hornets 106-99, James still can’t get over the life-changing announcement.
“We haven’t even eaten turkey yet and it’s already the best Thanksgiving ever,” James told WESH.
The video has amassed more than 42,000 views on Twitter as of Nov. 26 — with several chiming in on the couple’s pregnancy news.
“At least there’s something a magic fan can be happy about!” one person tweeted.
“They gotta name the baby Magic,” another user wrote.
