Lawson and Tiffany Bates of Bringing Up Bates fame recently shared a video with fans on social media. However, many fans took issue with the “romantic” moment. Sharing their criticisms, some even mentioned they would unfollow the two on social media.
Lawson & Tiffany Bates Were Married Back In 2022
Viewers were introduced to the Bates family from the Up TV series, Bringing Up Bates. The show focuses on Gil and Kelly Bates and their 19 children, as well as other family. The series ran from 2015 to 2021, lasting ten seasons.
As fans know, Lawson is the fourth child of Gil Bates and Kelly Bates. He married his wife, Tiffany, in 2022, previously announcing their engagement the year before. The two share a son, William, with a second baby due in Winter 2025. Lawson and Tiffany appeared in a video together on social media with a caption reading, “Who said romance is dead?” In the accompanying clip, Lawson could be seen offering Tiffany a piece of chocolate.
Placing the piece halfway into Tiffany’s mouth, Lawson tried to share the snack with her, a la Lady and the Tramp. However, she jokingly pushed him away and enjoyed the treat herself. This led to a caption reading, “Well, maybe so.”
Fans Criticized Things Ranging From The Video Looking Staged To Lawson’s Lack Of A Shirt
Taking to social media, some fans feel that the skit might have fallen flat. As one fan shared, “These two are so freaking cringe worthy it’s not even funny. Like, why is this grown man always shirtless on the internet?” In particular, the fan took issue with Lawson’s lack of a shirt. They continued, “What even was the point of being half naked for this skit!! Also, as ‘good’ as an actress as Tiffy is, it’s beyond lost on me how he gets her to agree to this mess.”
Taking to the comments, various fans shared issues they had with the skit. Some felt it looked too staged. Others commented on the couple’s apparent chemistry. A few even teased that they would unfollow the couple on social media. Some comments included:
- “In these screenshots they just look annoyed at each other not like they are enjoying each other.”
- “They deliberately set this up, dressed for it, set up the camera, recorded it, watched it, edited it and uploaded it. That’s what gets to me. Like they want to pretend it’s [some] spontaneous moment they captured but it’s as arranged as a scripted TV show.”
- “So much thought went into this. The man needs another hobby… a constructive one.”
- “I’m too sexy for this shirt. So sexy it hurts.”
- “I had to unfollow because I didn’t want to be reminded how hard she has it [being] pregnant.”
