While many of us are at home and looking for ways to keep busy and stay entertained, we often turn to the internet to see what’s new. We’re talking about celebrity posts and new internet sensations.
Have you heard of Big Baby? This boy has become a hit on TikTok in less than a month. His mom woke up one day and decided that she was going to make him famous. With extra time at home, it’s the perfect time for a new viral sensation.
The video that made him famous shows him sitting on his dad’s back, bouncing up and down, and at just the right moment, baby powder puffs out from his diaper. This video currently has more than 1.3 million likes.

While that baby powder post certainly made him look like a huge baby, more recent posts have showed Big Baby doing things that it’s hard to believe a baby could actually do, like throw a football.

Many people have wondered just how old Big Baby actually is. It turns out that he’s a 3-year-old named Gavin. So, well, technically Big Baby is a toddler and not a baby, we still think the term “baby” can apply. He’s well off the charts at 43 inches tall.

Big Baby’s mom, Kat, is thinking about investing in some new video equipment, so expect to see many more posts about this big boy who already has over 2.2 million followers in just a few weeks.
Although he has his fans, there are many people who have been vocal about disliking the videos of the big boy. One Twitter user asked, “Is anyone else just absolutely REPULSED by this giant baby?” Apparently, the answer is “yes.” Many people have added to the negativity.
Kat isn’t letting the negative comments get to her. She told Insider, “People can be cruel. There’s no need to have this distasteful bitterness that a lot of people have. We have thick skin, we’re raised tough, so I didn’t let it bother me.” Yet, she still thinks it’s necessary to express negativity about a baby.
Whether you like or dislike the videos of Gavin, he is a 3-year-old boy who doesn’t mean anybody any harm. If you like the videos, we can all use some entertainment right now, so that’s great. If you don’t like the videos, perhaps keep scrolling past them.
