Soon after, AI-generated images circulated online portraying Vance with exaggerated, curly hair. Rather than ignoring it, he embraced the moment—donning a curly wig for Halloween and posting a TikTok video in which he opened his door and joked, “Happy Halloween, kids… remember, say thank you!” all while the Twilight Zone theme played as he spun dramatically.
Fast-forward to the baby announcement, and amateur internet detectives began counting backward. With a late-July due date, some concluded—half-seriously—that conception might have occurred around the end of October.
“The child was conceived with the wig on,” one user joked, setting off a wave of reactions.
Others piled on, noting that late-July babies are often conceived around Halloween, with several referencing the now-infamous costume. One commenter declared there was “a nonzero chance” the timing lined up, while others simply admitted they’d had the same thought—or called the situation “incredible.”
Whether coincidence or just peak internet imagination, the Vances’ happy news has clearly given social media plenty to talk about—proving once again that nothing escapes online scrutiny, not even a Halloween wig.
