A touching TikTok video has captured hearts across the internet, as a father surprised his lifelong best friend with a request to become godfather to his newborn son. The emotional moment, shared by creator Precious D., has garnered over 1.6 million views.

The video shows the father calling his best friend via FaceTime, catching him completely off guard with the heartfelt question. The two men, separated by distance after a cross-country move, have only seen each other twice in the past year due to rising travel costs.

With three daughters already, the arrival of a son made the moment especially meaningful. The best friend’s reaction—tears of joy and visible emotion—struck a chord with viewers, many of whom praised the authenticity and depth of the friendship.

My husband and his best friend have only seen one another twice since we moved across the country! Flights are crazy expensive. They have a true bond and brotherhood that can’t be broken. They’ve walked through a lot with one another! The births of 6 kids between the two of their families. My husband wanted to call his best friend on FaceTime and ask him completely catching him off guard to be the God father of our son. We have three daughters so this was extra special! The reaction he had was so emotional and so special!
