In the comments, social media users dissected the couple’s sitting arrangement in the helicopter. While others read too much into the couple’s body language, some applauded the couple for spending some quality time together.
Here are some of the comments:
@Mikequbec suggested:
“Wife at the front and you at the back, interesting setup, overcompensation disguised as romance is a killer.”

“I love how they are enjoying each other and not rushing into having children or starting a family❤️❤️❤️”
@caiphus_kgatla argued:
“There are just unwritten laws about who sits in the front and back seat. I do not know, maybe it's different in a helicopter.”
@SterlingArcherI said:
“This is the only couple that gets published for simply going on holiday.”
@SewanondaJ claimed:
“Low key, you can see the brother is getting tired.”
@K20AEuroR88 said:
“Doc will be in tears.”
@Kgotacokhai asked:
“Why not sit at the back with him?”
@ChumaSamk91253 alleged:
“Something is off about this relationship. I cannot put a finger on what that off thing is.”
