In her video, the Eat, Pray, #FML author revealed to TikTok she had just found out she was pregnant only 20 minutes before her husband was to return home, so she quickly thought of a way to share the news with him by faking a TikTok trend.
You can watch the reveal below.
WARNING: NSFW language
She told her husband Taymour Ghazi they were going to try a new trend in which she would spell out words quickly and he would say them.
After a few rounds of success, with Ghazi correctly decoding "I love you" and "The grass is green," Stone spelled out, "We are having a baby."
After Ghazi said the sentence aloud, he excitedly repeated it and expressed his joy.
While most shared their excitement for the couple, there were a few—as there always seem to be—who had some negative words about the pair's age.
One user, @Theresa, wrote:
"Yikes! I couldn't have a baby late in age."
"Good luck, y'all. I'll watch you from afar! 😁"
Another user commented:
"how are y'all at 50 having a baby."
Well, Stone wasn't standing for that.
She addressed critics of her happy news in a follow-up video captioned:
"... think before you type people."
In the video, Stone acknowledged all the wonderful and celebratory comments but also called out trolls by beginning:
"Let me just say, Theresa, my older husband woke me up with a fantastic orgasm this morning and a latte that was brought to me in bed."
"How's your younger lad treating ya?"
Ouch.
She continued:
"But besides the point, I'm 34!"
"Like, when is that late in age to have a baby?"
Stone also displayed pictures of her mother—who gave birth to her when she was 40—after trying for six years to get pregnant.
She finished:
"Anyway, this video is really just to say kids come when they are supposed to, no matter what age you choose to start that journey at."
"And if you're one of those random strangers on the internet with no profile photo and five followers that feels the need to comment on women's bodies and ages..."
"Shut the f**k up."

Noticeably missing from the comments were more ageist remarks.
Well done, Gabrielle.
