The couple behind TikTok’s most cringeworthy dating trend, the ‘love surge’, have revealed the touching reason behind the ‘strange’ romantic habit.<\/p>\n
Speaking on the Today Show Lilianna Wilde revealed love surges started with her dad who was a tow truck driver and spent ‘days on the road’ at a time.<\/p>\n
‘He was kind of first on the scene for some really tragic accidents,’ she said.<\/p>\n
‘So when he came home he was just really grateful that he still had his family.’<\/p>\n
This lead to the father giving Lilianna, her brother and mum huge squeezes which he nicknamed ‘love squeezes’.<\/p>\n
‘I just brought that into my relationship with Sean,’ she said.<\/p>\n
‘I don’t know how we came up with love surge , but when we just feel so grateful for each other we gotta get it out.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the viral video, which has been seen over 7million times, her partner Sean Kolar is seen buzzing in the background before showing off the love surge.<\/p>\n
The couple said they don’t ‘love surge’ in public.<\/p>\n
‘We usually do it after a long day, after coming home when we haven’t seen each other in a while and we are just excited to give each other a little bit of love,’ Sean said.<\/p>\n
They also described how the conversation around the video went from light and funny to concerning.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The couple revealed how the comments on the video went from funny to disturbing\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘It was really kind of shocking to see that strangers, like, wanted something terrible to happen to us because of this,’ Lilianna said.<\/p>\n
The popular TikTok couple admitted the idea of vibrating with love may be ‘cringey’ and too ‘couplie’ for many but couldn’t wait to share it with their fans anyway.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately their video, which shows Sean buzzing behind his wife before latching on and vibrating to ‘release’ the energy, caught the attention of cruel trolls.<\/p>\n
Their twisted comments left Lilianna in tears and calling for kindness.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The original video begins with Lilianna smiling into the camera and explaining what a love surge is.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When Lilianna Wilde and Sean Kolar have too much love flowing through their bodies they connect in a ‘love surge’<\/p>\n
‘We do this when one of us has so much love in our limbs that we can’t contain it and feel like we are going to explode,’ she said.<\/p>\n
Then directed attention to her partner buzzing in the background.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘Sean is having a love surge right now and he is going to wrap around me and shake with the electricity of love until I catch it too and start shaking and then you explode with love surge,’ she said.<\/p>\n
About 33,000 people commented on the ‘love surge’ – and most of them were cruel.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘It’s funny because I’m getting the complete opposite of a love surge watching this,’ said another.<\/p>\n
‘I miss the person I was 10 seconds ago,’ one person wrote.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
They also admitted they don’t ‘love surge’ in public<\/p>\n
‘If this is love then I don’t want it,’ said another.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Others revealed the idea of a love surge gave them the ‘ick’.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘This video made me consider breaking up with my boyfriend just to make sure I never risk experiencing a love surge,’ one woman said.<\/p>\n
‘Time to invest in a love surge protector,’ said another.<\/p>\n
‘I love my husband like nothing else on this planet but if he ever tried this with me\u2026’ added another.<\/p>\n
While some commented to tell the couple to consider ‘having secrets’.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Some joked they should have heeded the warning on the video, which Lilianna enjoyed.<\/p>\n
‘And yet you still chose to swim through the cringe canal,’ she laughed.<\/p>\n
But it was the violent comments calling for the couple to break up, have affairs or be involved in domestic violence which appeared too much for Lilianna.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Unfortunately their video, which shows Sean buzzing behind his wife before latching on and vibrating to ‘release’ the energy, caught the attention of cruel trolls<\/p>\n
She faced the camera in tears in a follow up video.<\/p>\n
‘I didn’t expect like that much hate on the video a lot of the duet stitches were funny I can take a joke and I can laugh at myself,’ she cried.<\/p>\n
‘But then some of the comments got clearly really mean and they were like wishing that someone cheated on each other or wishing like DV on me.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘If the goal was to make me sad you won.’<\/p>\n
i\u2019m so sorry we are like this lol but we can\u2019t help it \ud83d\ude2d\u2665\ufe0f\u2728 @Sean Kolar #marriagehumor #marriagecomedy #husbandwife #husbandwifecomedy #husbandsoftiktok #couplecomedy #couple #husband #wife #couplestiktok <\/p>\n
She clarified that the ‘stitched’ content that made fun of her husband wasn’t the problem, just the cruel comments.<\/p>\n
People stood up for her in the teary video.<\/p>\n
‘People hating on you for the love surge are just mad because they don\u2019t have someone that loves them like that for real.’<\/p>\n
Lilianna said ‘everyone deserves a love surge’.<\/p>\n
‘Then they would know how sweet it is,’ she said.<\/p>\n
