Toni clarifies that being friends with your partner doesn’t mean replacing your original friends, but rather, it enhances the relationship by fostering a deeper and more meaningful connection beyond romance alone.

“Relationships are much sweeter when you and your partner are actual FRIENDS. You turn up together, gossip together, talk honestly, have fun, and generally vibe like besties. They shouldn’t replace your original friends but it’s great when your dynamic is more than just romantic.

“And some may argue ‘isn’t this every relationship???’. You’d be surprised… Some guys will hit the club all the time with the boys, but will never roll with their partner. Some women will chitchat for hours with girlfriends but never with their man. Not all couples are friends,” she tweeted.
