They filmed themselves standing together, with a scenic backdrop, and shared the video on their TikTok page @themajorkeyes.
Since posting the message, the couple, who have 299,000 followers on TikTok, have amassed more than 3.1 million views.
The video shows the couple and their two daughters standing on a white mat, also dressed in white clothes.
Their children wore white tutus, while the mother wore a long dress and the father a shirt and pants.

You hear the children, holding a clear umbrella, say, “I’m so excited.”
Next, the couple takes two pots of paint and pours them on the girl’s umbrella to reveal the gender.
The color of the paint will resemble the color the bride and groom will receive: pink for a girl and blue for a boy.
To the family’s surprise, pink paint came out of the pots, meaning they were having another girl.
But despite the positive reactions from the family, the video does not seem to be received very positively by viewers.
It appears that the paint is red from the lighting, even though it is not.
Many people rushed to the comments section to express their concerns.
One asked: “I really don’t get this. Why the red paint?”
However, Major Keyes’ story expressed the truth, replying, “It’s actually Magenta Pink Paint.”
But despite the couple saying this, the internet trolls continued to attack them.
Another added: “Red paint symbolizes the father’s broken heart, it’s not a boy.”
Someone else said: “It looks like blood.”

A fourth wrote: “The dumbest gender reveal ever.”
However, not all reactions were negative and many stood up for the couple against the trolls.
Someone wrote: “That is the most unique gender reveal. I love it.”
Another added: “I don’t understand all the negative comments??? This was a beautiful gender reveal.
“And it was perfectly clear what was going on. Congratulations.”
A third said: “This is actually quite unique and I love that the children play a part in it too.”
