A Brooklyn musician named Zeddy Wills is in the news after hosting a joint baby shower for five different women after getting them all pregnant at the same time.
Lizzy Ashliegh, one of the expectant mothers, revealed the story on TikTok, while others expressed their surprise and disapproval.
Lizzy, who is a 29-year-old Brooklyn musician divulged the details of the unusual arrangement after getting pregnant by fellow musician Zeddy Wills – along with four other women.
But other social media users were left stunned, with many criticizing the bizarre situation.
In her initial clip, which has so far been viewed more than 8.9 million times, Lizzy zoomed in on the invite to the baby shower being held in Queens.
It featured a picture of the beaming dad-to-be surrounded by five proud pregnant women, alongside a caption that read: ‘Welcome little Zeddy Wills 1 to 5.’
Lizzy then panned round the room to show the other women sporting their blossoming baby bumps.
She added overlaid text which read: ‘When your baby daddy got four other girls pregnant at the same time!’
But the clip was quickly inundated with comments from quizzical viewers.
One wrote: ‘Please tell me this is not real.’
Another added: ‘How is everyone involved not embarrassed?’
And a third simply said: ‘The way you would never find me in a situation like this.’
Following the widespread backlash, Lizzy took to the platform once again to share a series of snaps showing all the women posing together before dishing yet further detail on the situation.
She explained: ‘We love our baby daddy. We will not ruin our babies’ lives. Our families have accepted this.’
‘Nothing left to do but to support each other. Takes a village indeed!’
Elaborating further still, Lizzy continued: ‘We can’t change the fact that he’s our baby daddy and everything happens for a reason.
‘We’ve decided to work together and our families are supportive of our decision! We’ve accepted each other. It’s better for the little ones.’
She said of herself that she was ‘staying happy for the baby’ before adding: ‘He’s going to be born into a big family!’
