Influencers Emily Stomatuk (age 29) and Michael Justin (age 48), known for their 19-year age gap relationship, have revealed that they are expecting a daughter. The news was shared during a vacation in Mykonos, Greece, where the couple performed a creative gender reveal each plunged a wine glass into a white cake and revealed pink icing, prompting joyous reactions and embraces.

In interviews with People, the couple reflected on their journey toward parenthood and how they navigated public reaction to their age difference. Emily said she always knew she wanted to be a mother, while Michael admitted he was initially more cautious but gradually grew convinced as their relationship deepened. They met six years ago in a yoga class in Arizona and married in 2023. Their relationship has often drawn commentary for the age gap, and they’ve responded to criticism by emphasizing life experience, emotional maturity, and readiness to become parents.

The reveal in Greece had been carefully orchestrated. Only Emily’s maid of honor knew the baby’s sex in advance, and coordinated with the hotel to stage the dramatic moment. Michael said it would be a “highlight” of their trip, and indeed the moment made for striking imagery and emotional resonance.

Public reaction to their pregnancy news has been mostly supportive, though not without skepticism. Critics have questioned the decision given Michael’s age, warning that he might not be able to be there for the child long term. Emily acknowledged such criticisms but urged people to consider that age alone doesn’t define parenting quality. Michael added that he believes the advantages of maturity and wisdom can outweigh years.

As they move forward, Emily and Michael appear ready to document this new chapter with authenticity. They don’t intend for their platform to become solely about parenting, but see sharing this journey as part of the narrative they’ve built with their followers. Their reveal in Mykonos, blending romance, surprise, and intimacy, felt fitting for a couple whose online story has always mixed spectacle and vulnerability.
