Content creator Alex (@sookyspice) is the self-described CEO of apple body shapes.
She regularly posts lifestyle vlogs and body positive videos geared toward the plus-size community.
In a TikTok video, she brought viewers into her home and shared with them the endearing action her boyfriend does to make her feel loved.
The video was cute, sweet, and simple all in a matter of ten seconds.
When the video began, the couple stood in their kitchen and filmed their loving interaction.
Alex’s partner affectionately tugged at her lower belly region before they leaned it close for a peck.
“POV: Your boyfriend’s version of a hug is to jiggle your belly,” the subtitled next to the visual read.
“I used to hate my body and he has helped me love it,” Alex wrote back to a viewer in the comment section.
Many people could relate to the tender touch she received.
“My bf does this too, it kills me,” one viewer agreed.
“I do this to my wife. I love every part of her!” another chimed in.
“I do that to my partner all the time! She claims she hates it but it always makes her smile and that’s what I live for,” a fan shared.
“A man of culture and taste,” a TikTok user praised.
Aside from dating and body-confident content, Alex is also known to post about fashion and DIY projects.

The best Valentine’s Day gifts for boyfriends
![a collage of pictures of valentine's day gift ideas for boyfriends, including a dog sweater, a tabletop fire pit, a cookbook, a marvel lego set, perfume samples, and new balance shoes](https://helios-i.mashable.com/imagery/roundups/03xauDOnsapupJP41NKgPs4/hero-image.png)
Whether you just started dating or you’re practically engaged, shopping for the perfect Valentine’s Day gift for your boyfriend can be a surprisingly tricky task. How much should you spend? Are you going for a big romantic gesture or keeping it simple? And what about the classic “we’re not doing gifts this year,” but you still “surprise” each other with gifts anyway thing?
Seriously, though — what *is* that?
If you’re stuck in a gift-giving rut, our best advice is to zero in on the items he uses daily and the topics he brings up whenever you hang out — these are easy jumping-off points for presents that’ll make him feel seen. (Oh, he just mentioned in passing that his wallet’s falling apart? Get him a really nice leather one that he’d never splurge on himself. Stuff like that shows you’ve been paying attention.)
Below, we’ve rounded up a list of Valentine’s Day gift ideas for boyfriends that say “I love you and I get you” without being totally cliché. Spoiler alert: There will be no mention of whiskey stones or beard oil.
I humiliated myself at my new boyfriend’s family party – now he can’t even look me
DEAR DEIDRE: HUMILIATED doesn’t even cover it.
Hearing about my antics at my new boyfriend’s family party was so embarrassing.
The next morning, I couldn’t remember a thing but knew something had gone wrong. My lovely boyfriend couldn’t talk to me, let alone look at me.
I’m 51 and he’s 53. I’m so worried that I’ve ruined what was shaping up to be a really great relationship.
Apparently I got so drunk I was talking over people, grabbing my boyfriend’s privates in front of his mum and told him off for flirting with his niece.
What’s worse is he said his ex used to embarrass him in a similar way and he can’t deal with that again.

So far I’ve kissed four of my friends’ boyfriends – I fear for my reputation
DEAR DEIDRE: SO far I’ve kissed four of my friends’ boyfriends – though only one friend has found out and thankfully she has forgiven me.
But I’m worried my cheeky snogs are going to catch up with me and I’ll get a bad reputation.

I don’t set out to misbehave, but I get caught up in the moment.
I’m 23 and seem to attract a lot of male attention – especially from the bad boys.
The last time I kissed someone I shouldn’t have, it was my best friend’s bloke.
Now he’s really chasing me and I don’t know the best way to give him the brush-off.

DEIDRE SAYS: Tell him clearly that you made a mistake and don’t want a repeat.
You’re right to be concerned about your reputation but, more importantly, you may lose some good friends.
Responding so readily to the attention of others suggests you may have low self-esteem.
Try to focus on building your confidence.

He has two sons who I’ve never met and yet he’s spent time with all of my family and stays over at mine regularly.
I thought we’d turned a corner a couple of weeks ago when he took me to his house where he lives with his grown-up boys.
But when we arrived, he left me in the car, while he dashed in to grab his overnight bag.
Afterwards, I asked him what he was hiding and he said: “Nothing babe. Just give it time.”

DEIDRE SAYS: The tidiness of the house may not have been up to his standard for a first impression.
But not being invited out on his birthday is upsetting.
Ask him whether his birthday would be a good time for you to meet the rest of his family.
You never know, he might just say yes.
