This man married a rag doll a year ago — and now, he says, they’re expecting their third “child.” His name is Christian, though online he goes by the handle @montbk5959. For millions of TikTok users, he’s become something of a legend — a mixture of curiosity, confusion, and fascination. What started as what many assumed was a prank has now turned into an entire digital family saga, complete with morning coffee routines, evening dinners, and yes, children made of cloth and thread.
It all began a little over a year ago when Christian posted a video introducing his “bride,” Natalia — a handmade rag doll with large painted eyes, sewn eyelashes, a floral dress, and a fixed smile. Most viewers thought it was a joke, a temporary viral challenge meant to stir reactions. But Christian never broke character. He took Natalia to the park, pushed her in a stroller, dressed her in new shoes, and even “introduced” her to his relatives.
As weeks turned into months, it became clear that this wasn’t just a stunt. Christian posted regularly, showing their “life” together: romantic dinners by candlelight, morning routines where he brewed two cups of coffee — one for himself, one for Natalia — and scenic walks at sunset, always holding her hand, sometimes sitting with her on a bench, whispering softly into her fabric ear. According to him, years of painful loneliness and emotional isolation had left a deep mark. Natalia, he says, gave him something no real person ever had — unconditional company.
Then came the “big news”: Natalia was “pregnant.” Again, followers weren’t sure if it was satire or sincerity. But Christian didn’t joke. He spoke tenderly about their growing family, and soon, their first “child” arrived — a tiny rag doll with a pink bow named Valentina. Later, a second “child,” a “son” named Mateo, joined the family. He had a blue cap, stitched-on eyebrows, and the same kind smile.
Christian fully embraced fatherhood. He filmed videos of the children “doing homework” — little notebooks open in front of them, crayons scattered nearby. He showed them “watching cartoons,” all of them sitting on the couch as a TV played in the background. He even staged small family dramas — sibling “fights” over toys, followed by sweet “apologies” and group hugs.
But the video that truly sent the internet into a frenzy was when Natalia appeared again — this time with a round cloth “baby bump.” In a quiet moment, Christian held a small, crumpled piece of fabric in his hand — what he called their new baby’s “embryo.” Smiling at the camera, he whispered, “Soon there will be five of us.”
Every day, Christian sticks to their routine. He prepares breakfast for the whole family, carefully placing cups and plates on the table. When it’s time for “school,” he packs the dolls into a backpack, walks to the local park, takes out small sandwiches, and announces, “Recess!” Sometimes, they have picnics. He spreads a blanket, arranges the dolls neatly, and spends the afternoon telling them stories about his dreams, his past, and what he hopes for their future.
People around him react in different ways. Some whisper, some laugh, some take out their phones and record him. But Christian doesn’t seem to notice — or maybe he simply doesn’t care. In his world, he has a wife who loves him, two children who make him proud, and another on the way. And whether anyone else believes in it or not, for him, that’s enough.
He’s created a reality where he feels seen, valued, and never alone — and maybe, in a world so quick to judge, that’s more powerful than it seems.
