A woman went on vacation and went viral because of it.
Tiktoker Lydia Bird—@lydia_bird3—went on a beautiful, tropical vacation to the gorgeous Dominican Republic.
Her trip, however, came with an unexpected twist—her ex-boyfriend.
Bird and her ex had originally planned and paid for the tropical getaway when the two were still romantically involved.
The pair unfortunately split up before the vacation was supposed to take place.
It turned out, though, the getaway they booked was nonrefundable. Therefore, rather than waste the money they spent and get nothing out of it, the two decided to go on the trip together anyway.
Bird posted several TikToks documenting the potentially awkward vacation that have since gone viral.
Watch the original video here:
In the first video, we see Lydia and her ex at the airport, getting ready to depart for the Dominican Republic.
The text overlay says:
“POV you and your ex bought a non-refundable, international spring break trip"
Another video shows the two on the plane during their flight.
We see the two touching their heads together as if taking a selfie.
The text overlay says:
“If life ever feels boring just go with your ex on a tropical vacation after not talking”
As the vacation goes on, many viewers who understandably feared the trip would be extremely awkward, began shipping Bird with her ex and predicting the two might actually get back together.
In the next video, Lydia and her ex make it to their hotel room, just to realize the room only contains one bed.
The text on the video says:
“They gave us one bed when we requested 2"
"Ty DR” (Dominican Republic)
In another video, Bird and her ex are seen cuddling by the pool.
Bird continued posting cute videos of the two together, including one where they almost kiss, but pull apart at the last second.
The videos prompted many viewers to express their desire for the two to rekindle their romance.

Bird, however, reiterated the two are in fact still exes
The two have not officially gotten back together.
Regardless of their relationship status, there are definitely worse ways to spend a vacation.
