After 11 Years Sister Reveals Identical Pregnancy Surprise To Sibling

A woman surprised her sister by announcing she was pregnant in the exact same way her sibling did eleven years earlier. For more than a decade, Jida, from Lino Lakes, Minnesota, hoped her sister, Tala, would make her an aunt. Back in 2014, Jida, 37, did exactly that for Tala, 34, breaking the news to her sister when she arrived back into Dubai International Airport, Dubai – where Tala lives and Jida was based at the time – following a vacation. The wholesome moment was captured on video, and for the years that followed, Jida – who has since moved to Minnesota but chats to Tala for hours every day – hoped that she would experience a similar surprise. Tala got married in 2023, but this summer, having planned a trip back to the United Arab Emirates, Jida was told that her sister didn't have any pregnancy news. But having landed in Dubai on July 25, Jida, walking into the arrivals lounge, was shouted to by her sister, who was holding a sign to break her pregnancy news. The surprise caused Jida to freeze in shock, before she said, "You got me back!" and excitedly ran into her sister's arms. Adding to the occasion, Tala's husband managed to capture the moment on video, too, just like the 2014 surprise, so that the siblings will always have the memories to look back on. Tala is now expecting a baby boy in March 2026.
