Twitch superstar Tyler “Ninja” Blevins has shared one of the most personal moments of his life with fans, announcing that he and his wife, Jessica Blevins, are expecting their first child.
The news, revealed Friday, quickly spread across social media after the couple posted a surprise gender reveal video on Instagram.
In the video, Ninja and Jessica are seen standing together, smiling nervously as they prepare to learn their baby’s gender. Instead of a traditional cake cutting, the couple used a popular “wine glass cake” reveal.
Without looking, they pushed two wine glasses into a white cake baked by a friend. After a quick toast, they lifted the glasses and looked inside, revealing pink cake and confirming they are expecting a baby girl.

The moment quickly turned emotional and joyful. Ninja, now 34, admitted he was surprised by the result.
“I was so sure it was gonna be a boy!” he said in the video, before happily calling himself a “girl dad.” Jessica stood beside him, laughing and celebrating as they embraced the news together.

Within just one hour, the post collected around 90,000 likes, showing how closely followers are connected to the couple’s journey.
For many fans, the announcement felt extra meaningful because Ninja and Jessica have been together through every stage of his career. Jessica has long played a key role behind the scenes, helping manage Ninja’s brand and business decisions as his popularity exploded.
Ninja remains one of the most influential figures in streaming history. He is best known for his Fortnite streams, which helped turn gaming into a global entertainment industry. Even though he is no longer the most-watched streamer on Twitch, he is still among the platform’s most-followed creators, with more than 19 million followers. His career has spanned competitive esports, record-breaking Twitch achievements, brand partnerships and charity work.
Beyond gaming, Ninja has been open about serious personal challenges. In late 2025, he shared his experience battling and beating skin cancer twice, a health scare that changed how he looks at life.
Now, with a baby girl on the way, Ninja’s focus is clearly expanding beyond streaming stats and game wins. The excitement in his voice during the reveal showed a side of him fans don’t always see on live streams.
