Video: Three-year-old boy who refuses to give his baby brother back to his mom so they can keep cuddling earns 61 MILLION views

Waylon Matthews and his brother

Some children become jealous when they’re no longer the only child, but one little boy whose mom recently gave birth to another child is completely smitten with his baby brother.

Emily Matthews, 24, of Jackson, Tennessee, shared a Facebook video showing her three-year-old son, Waylon, adorably cuddling his brother, Lawless, nine weeks, and refusing to give him back to his mother.


In the clip, which has earned more then 61 million views, Emily asks Waylon: ‘Can I have him?’, and the child responds definitively: ‘No’ as he holds the baby tighter. The mother-of-two posted the video on October 29, but it started making headlines earlier this week when a friend shared it in a group.

In one day, the video gained one million views, and it’s now at almost 61 million, with more than one million shares and 122,000 comments.

Emily told the Jackson Sun that she was ‘a little worried’ about the publicity at first, but thinks the clip is ‘a pretty nice thing to put out there’.

‘I don’t think baby Lawless could ask for a better big brother than him,’ she said of Waylon, who sweetly mispronounces his brother’s name as ‘Wallace’ in the video.
