Venus & Tripp: The Wild Humans of NY Story Everyone is Talking About

Have you read the Venus and Tripp story from Humans of New York yet? It's completely wild. If you haven't, let's bring you up to speed.

First, Humans of New York is an amazing photo and story project that started in November of 2010. New York City photographer Brandon Stanton would go around the city and take portraits of people and let them tell their stories. Those stories were then shared on his Facebook and Instagram accounts.

Many of the stories were heartbreaking, or inspiring, and Stanton's work grew a MASSIVE following. He eventually published a book, and then broadened the scope of the "Humans" he was profiling.

In 2019, because of the pandemic, Stanton started taking submissions for Humans of New York stories from anyone, anywhere.

That help set up the crazy ride that set the internet on fire Thursday, March 3 - the story of Venus and Tripp. We don't want to spoil any of the details for you, but it's worth noting the way these stories unfold.

Stanton doesn't post the full story all at once. He will post it in parts, usually 30 minutes to an hour apart. So that had people all over Twitter and Facebook talking about it all day, anxiously awaiting the next part.

The final part, part 13, dropped last night, and we've put them all together here for you. Buckle up for the crazy Venus and Tripp story, a heartbreaking, but ultimately truly inspiring story.

Looking to spark a little more romance now that Valentine's Day has come and gone: A new poll has given us 50 tips that can help make the happiest marriages.

According to SWNS Digital, a UK poll by Warner Leisure Hotels found that the happiest marriages did things like: Have sex five times a week; Say "I love you" 10 times a week; sharing hobbies; and so much more.

"We weren’t surprised to see that taking short breaks is one of the secret ingredients to a happy marriage," said Simon Thompson, Managing Director of Warner Leisure Hotels. "Many couples who visit us say they feel closer after a romantic weekend relaxing and unwinding together – and it certainly helps that neither have to do the chores."

The study measured 2,000 UK couples, and painted a pretty convincing picture of what tips you need to have the happiest marriages. It also suggested that maybe fighting a couple times a month was just as good for you as a few extra rolls in the hay.

“However, as this survey clearly shows, it takes a good mix of humor, affection, understanding and interest to keep a relationship exciting," Thompson said. "The definition of romance differs from person to person. Some are content with tiny little gestures on a regular basis, and others want the full hearts and flowers approach to love. Whatever your preference, the key to a happy marriage appears to be time – time with each other, time apart, time to forgive, time to laugh, and time to understand.”
