However, despite the wonderful family addition, the clip landed on the so-called wrong side of TikTok, as brutal online trolls declared the child hasn't ''got a chance''.
At the start of the video, the grandma could be heard telling the couple - son Ross and his partner Chelsea - to ''twist and turn'' the confetti poppers.
After some struggle, Ross finally managed to crack the popper open - with heaps of blue paper shreds announcing the newborn would be a little boy.
''Oh s**t, my eardrum popped,'' the father-to-be said in pain, as he proceeded to help pregnant Chelsea.
As Ross was also choking on a teeny paper that had, unfortunately, landed in his mouth, another member of the family - thought to be Sharon's partner - popped the balloon.
''Little boy,'' said the nan-to-be, as she filmed the confetti mess near the family's house, before revealing what her grandson would be named.
The potential monikers included Levi, Brandon, Jackson and Vince, with the names all written in blue on a disposable paper plate.
However, some social media users reckoned that perhaps it was all one long moniker - Levi Brandon Jackson Vince.
Thrilled with the news, the sweet couple posed with the plate - and they had also coincidentally dressed in blue, with Chelsea sporting a light blue sweatshirt and joggers and her partner rocking a hoodie with blue elements.
Proud nan Sharon wrote in the caption: ''my son Ross and his partner Chelsea having a gender reveal and it [it's] a boy.''
My gender reveal was totally ruined by the Card Factory - I found out it the worst way ever we were having a boy and left disappointed
'Gender reveal behind the council sheds'
Since being uploaded online under the username @sharonannjones50, the sweet clip has gone viral, amassing over a whopping 1.6million views in just four days.
It's also won the nan-to-be more than 51k likes, close to 4k shares, with a further 5,379 people flooding to comments - where the reaction was mainly brutal.
The world's most expensive gender reveals
GENDER reveals are becoming bigger and more elaborate day by day, with people constantly thinking of different ways to up those before them.
And money is no issue for a lot of these couples - with some spending hundreds or thousands on the event.
Read on for some of the most expensive gender reveals in history.
Ste Hamilton
Wealthy property tycoon and YouTuber Ste Hamilton decided to gift his wife-to-be Isabella Rowles with a £300,000 Lamborghini, which would be in either pink or blue to reflect their baby's gender.
Steven and Isabella and friends and family attended an extravagant event at the Belfry Hotel and Resort near Birmingham to find out they were having a baby boy.
"It was worth every second of the hard work to see the happiness in everyone's faces on the day," Ste said, after spending a further £40,000 on the big reveal.
Logan Paul
The wrestling star and YouTuber and fiancee Nina Agdal staged a public wrestling match for their gender reveal.
A wrestler in pink trunks took on one in blue, with the one in pink emerging victorious - signifying that they are having a baby girl.
Inga Stumbriene
The Lithuanian influencer hired planes to fly in the sky as she, her fiance and their nearest and dearest watched.
The planes dropped a load of blue confetti - revealing the pair were having a boy - but people insisted it was the "most polluted" gender reveal ever.
Anonymous couple
One of the most recent jaw-dropping gender reveals happened in May 2024, when a couple decided to DYE a waterfall to reveal if they were having a boy or girl.
After the videos circulated on the social media, the public demanded for the couple to be punished, with some suggesting they should go to jail.
Others were concerned about water contamination, as the pair had used a powdered chemical known as "Blue Lagoon" into the Queima-Pe River, which feeds the waterfall.
One TikTok troll wrote: ''Where did you guys do your gender reveal? Oh just round by the bins.''
''Some kids just haven't got a chance,'' read another mean comment.
'' 'My eardrum has popped' That's another two years on universal credit then...'' a third said.
''Gender reveal behind the council sheds,'' someone else penned.
Luckily for the new couple and their family it wasn't all vicious trolling, as one kind person hit back at all the keyboard warriors.
''These comments aren't it ! Just scroll on ! Congrats guys.''
''they're all smiling and happy, congrats,'' another said.
