Father dances after divorce is finalized in viral video

A teen has turned her father into a viral star after sharing a video of him enthusiastically dancing in a suit after his divorce was finalized.

TikTok user Kyla Fitzpatrick, who uses the handle @kylakjpriv, gave few details when she posted the footage of her dad busting a move to his newfound freedom. 

‘Dad is officially divorced,’ she wrote in the on-screen text.

The eight-second clip shows Mr. Fitzpatrick holding a box of Taittinger Champagne in one hand and what appears to be his divorce papers in the other.

Kyla set the video to ‘Request Refused’ by rapper Xavier Wulf, and if the song’s lyrics are any indicator, she is not a fan of her father’s ex-wife. 

While Mr. Fitzpatrick is dancing, Wulf can be heard rapping: ‘No, I cannot wife a thot, b***h, no, I won’t, I just cannot. She say, “Can I slide through?”, b***h, no, you can’t.’

‘Mr. Fitz is finally free,’ Kyla added in the caption. 

The video has been viewed 20.8 million times and has received more than 13,000 comments since it was posted on June 28. 

Many people had questions about Mr. Fitz’s ex-wife and whether she was Kyla’s mother or stepmother. 

‘I’d love to see ur moms reaction to this,’ one person wrote, while another asked: ‘I’m guessing we don’t like the mom?’

Others were just happy to celebrate Mr. Fitz’s freedom with him. 

‘Why did I start dancing with him,’ one viewer asked. 

‘Get this man out on the STREETS,’ another commented, adding fire emojis for good measure.  

‘Man is going out tonight,’ someone else joked. 

Divorce celebration videos have become popular on TikTok, and a number of people noted that they have seen similar clips posted by other teens.  

Kyla has yet to comment on her viral clip, but she previously paid tribute to her father in another post, saying he is ‘mom and dad in one perfect person.’
