Controversial TikTok trend ‘calling my boyfriend my husband’ is taking the world by storm
Couples around the world have taken part in the prank “calling my boyfriend my husband,” and some ladies have had disappointing responses.
Although it started out as a lighthearted joke, the trend has quickly reverted to a partnership test, which many couples unfortunately failed.
American woman Kenzie Greene had one of the worst responses, causing her to seemingly delete her TikTok account.
She played the TikTok prank on her boyfriend, saying, “Okay, today I am going to be guessing my husband’s favourite things”.

Keely said, “Today, my husband is going to be rating my two favourite drinks”.
This was followed by a sheepish smile from her partner.
She doubled down on the term and said, “My husband usually likes a pomegranate and cherry vibe”.
Her boyfriend went along with the name-calling until she said it a third time when he jumped in and said, “Are you doing that on purpose?”
He then added, “No, I love it; I kind of like it when you call me that”.
