Woman Tries on New Nightwear, but Boyfriend's Reaction Steals the Show

One thing the internet loves is a supportive boyfriend, and content creator Courtney Snell's partner does not disappoint.

The beauty and lifestyle creator accidentally captured her boyfriend's enthusiastic reaction to one of her new outfits and shared the sweet moment online to lots of swooning TikTokers.

The viral video, which has been viewed more than 2.7 million times since it was first shared to TikTok on January 8, saw Snell's partner complimenting her new satin blue PJ set which featured a bold tiger print.

"Accidentally getting how obsessed my boyfriend is with me on camera," Snell, who goes by @courtneysnelll on the platform, said.

Viewers watched as Snell attempted to film an outfit video, a staple content idea in the fashion and personal style corner of social media, before being interrupted by her partner's charms.

"It was so expensive and it is so freaking comfortable," the creator can be heard saying, while she examines the fit of her new PJ set.

Her boyfriend interjects from the background: "You look so fine."

"You look exotic," he adds after coming closer to take a better look at Snell's new loungewear.

Snell is a social media creator based in the States with over 440,000 followers on TikTok. She regularly shares an insight into her personal life and style with her digital audience, while also sharing her wellness and fitness tips and tricks.

How Can You Keep the Spark Alive?

TikTokers gushing over the sweet post have pointed out the green-flag behavior that Snell's partner was exhibiting by fawning over her new outfit.

"If he's not like this then I don't want him," one user had commented under the post.

It's unclear exactly how long Snell and her partner have been together, but the creator's partner makes for a great example of how long-term couples can keep the spark alive after years together.

New relationships are often brimming with mutual fascination and attentiveness, while older unions are often busied with the mundane stressors of daily life that get in the way of noticing each other's new quirks or changes. A good way to combat that would be in giving your partner the same level of praise and attention as you did when you first began dating, a time when you'd never fail to notice their hairdo.

"You may spend hours just staring at them, feel compelled to be with them 24/7, and experience frequent urges to give them gifts or love notes. In other words, in a new relationship, you are driven to the relationship," Tasha Seiter, a relationship coach, wrote for Psychology Today.

"It is a common misconception that we 'fall' out of love, that something out of our control happens to our relationships to extinguish a passion that once burned brightly. The truth is, in a long-term relationship, it takes intention, energy, and work to keep the love alive," she added.

Seiter advises couples to never take each other for granted, make each other feel wanted and to make a solid effort to bolster up one another's choices and changes. Snell's boyfriend puts this into practice by vocalizing his attraction to Snell, alongside his appreciation of something as simple as her new choice of PJs, and viewers online are impressed.

What Do the Comments Say?

Since it had been shared to the social media platform by @courtneysnelll on January 8, the TikTok post has been liked by over 360,000 users and commented on more than 360 times. Plenty of TikTokers have joined in with Snell by gushing over her adoring partner.

"This makes me feel like my boyfriend doesn't like me at all," one user wrote.

Another user added: "Okay he is so into you I love it."

"My husband LOVES a PJ set, I don't know what it is," a third user shared.

Another TikToker joked: "If you look closely you can see me curled up in the kitchen crying."

"The way he looks at you," pointed out another user.

The post had been captioned: "I could literally wear a potato sack."
