'Please Don't Break Up': Kid Reacts to 'Paint Your Partner' Gone Wrong

A six-year-old begged her parents not to break up after her dad painted an unflattering portrait of his wife.

In video posted by Blanca Stucki, she and her husband paint portraits of each other, and then reveal the painting to each other. Upon the revelation of the man’s portrait of his wife, Stucki bursts into laughter as their daughter says, “Please don’t break up.”

Stucki told Storyful the couple had told their 6-year-old daughter, Annabella, that they were on a date. "That’s the reason she said ‘please don’t break up’.”

Stucki said the couple was actually married and had three daughters. Credit: Blanca Stucki via Storyful
