This morning, Kendel Kay woke without an alarm and went outside to meditate in the sunshine on her balcony. She made herself breakfast — she invariably has either a smoothie or overnight oats — did her morning skincare routine of several serums, an LED mask, and ice rolling, followed by a Pilates workout. Then she made her boyfriend, Luke, his breakfast: eggs, a bagel, and chicken breast for extra protein.
Soon, it was time to make lunch for them both — some sort of salad — and then Kay went on her usual afternoon walk for an hour or so. She did some laundry and a bit of cleaning. Then she made their dinner, did the nighttime version of her skincare routine, hung out with Luke, and went to bed.
This is a typical day in the life of a “stay-at-home girlfriend.” It’s a concept, a lifestyle, a viral TikTok trend that’s been sparking equal parts outrage, consternation, and, yes, envy.
Kay would know. Last August, she posted a vlog of her “morning routine as a 25-year-old stay-at-home girlfriend.” It blew up in the way that only happens on TikTok, quickly garnering millions of views (it’s currently at over 12 million), hundreds of thousands of likes, and tens of thousands of comments, which ranged the gamut of “this is satire, yes?” to “manifesting this.”
Kay didn’t coin the term “stay-at-home girlfriend,” but when she saw it on another video, it immediately resonated with her. Her situation is best summarized by another video she posted with the words: “my boyfriend: ‘I’ll make enough money for both of us if you wanna be a stay at home girlfriend, take care of our house, and make me food.’” Her caption: “Deal,” and the sealed envelope emoji.
