Coldplay in Abu Dhabi: Dubai Couple Gets Heartwarming 'Gender Reveal' by Chris Martin

Noor Naguib and her husband, Ahmad AbuShehadeh, experienced an unforgettable moment during Coldplay's sold-out concert in Abu Dhabi on January 9, 2025. The couple, who live in Dubai, had a surprise gender reveal in front of thousands of fans when Coldplay’s frontman, Chris Martin, helped them announce the arrival of their second baby girl.

The couple had planned to celebrate their wedding on March 20, 2020, but the COVID-19 pandemic forced them to cancel their celebration. "Sky Full of Stars," Coldplay's iconic hit, was meant to be their wedding song. So, when Noor and Ahmad had the chance to hold up a sign during the concert, it became a double celebration — not only was it a gender reveal, but it was also a long-awaited wedding moment.

Their sign, asking Chris for help with the gender reveal, was noticed by the crowd and eventually by Chris, who took a moment to interact with the couple. He asked, "So, are you having a boy or a girl?" when Noor excitedly shouted, “A girl!” The moment was even more special as Ahmad didn’t know the baby’s gender until that very moment.

The couple’s emotional reaction was shared with the thousands of concertgoers, making the night even more memorable. Noor, who is 20 weeks pregnant, and Ahmad, along with their two-year-old daughter, Eva, now have a second baby girl on the way.

The couple had virtually waited in line for three days to secure their concert tickets, and the effort was clearly worth it for the magical experience.
