Aoki and Sasha, who tied the knot in 2024, announced their “biggest collaboration yet” during his Jan. 25 concert at Barasti Beach in Dubai.
“This is a special moment. This is my wife, and we’re having a baby,” the EDM musician said as Sasha appeared on stage.

Sasha proceeded to smash the cake — which was decorated with “Aoki” spelled out in alternating blue and pink letters — on her husband’s face as blue confetti and smoke filled the air, signaling that the couple was going to have a boy.
“It’s a boy,” text read on-screen behind the pair as they shared a kiss, with Aoki getting some frosting on Sasha’s face in the process. Shortly afterward, the DJ inspired another loud cheer from the crowd by yelling, “We’re having a boy!”
He then turned to whoever was filming the gender reveal for his Instagram, saying, “It’s a boy.” Smiling with blue cake icing all over his face, “We have a little boy,” he added.

Alongside snaps of herself showing off her growing belly at Coachella in April, the then-mom-to-be wrote, “My plus one is kicking. Literally.”
In May, she shared a video of her belly as she stood behind Aoki in the DJ booth, and joked, “Who needs lullabies when you’ve got daddy’s epic drops.” In the caption, she added, “EDM = early development music,” while Aoki commented, “Training him young ❤️.”
In June, Sasha shared another clip of herself showing off her baby bump at one of Aoki’s shows, and punned: “Be a housewife, they said. didn’t realize I’d take it literally.”
