He’s a keeper?
A British new mom is defending her partner, whom she showed intently watching soccer on a computer as she prepared to give birth.
“When I joked about going into labor whilst his football team were playing the entire pregnancy and I actually did, so this was our set-up,” Amber Louise Tilley wrote on a TikTok that captured her man sitting on her hospital bed, using a breathing apparatus to keep calm as his team played an “important game.”
The six-second clip has delivered 3.8 million views since it was posted Thursday. She gave birth to baby Hudson in September.
“Taking ‘football isn’t just football’ to a new level,” Tilley captioned the video.
TikTokers were divided on the display, with some claiming it’s not relationship goals.
“I would never do this to my wife bringing me a child,” one user insisted.
“That’s sad,” another wrote.
“Didn’t you feel mad?” a third wondered.
“Can’t be mad when I’m the one who set it up for him. I was making TikToks, we are super chill and when the time came to actually scream and push he was right by my side holding my hair back, hand, had the fan in front of me, everything I needed, it wasn’t that deep,” Tilley explained in the comments.
“Why people getting so pressed … she’s fine with it, keep ya nose out,” one user recommended.
“Idk they’re more bothered than I was and it was my birth,” Tilley responded.
The Post reached out to Tilley for comment.
Others stood by her side and shared their own delivery experiences.
“You gotta keep them busy, my man was trying to show me the pattern on the bottom of his shoe…” one user confessed.
Another admitted: “My partner was the same, labor can be lonnggg & a waiting game! I have an amazing partner and he’s such a good dad too.”
In other memorable births, a trio of NYPD officers recently helped deliver a baby boy in Queens.
And a woman appeared to give birth on a San Francisco sidewalk in a video shared online this month.
