Ex-USMNT player provides twist to best love story
On Tuesday, thousands of Twitter users were on the edge of their seats as one passenger detailed a blossoming love story sparked by switching seats on an airplane.
If you haven't seen the story of "Plane Bae" / "Hunky Plane Guy" and "Pretty Plane Girl," follow along this thread below and prepare to be amazed.
Last night on a flight home, my boyfriend and I asked a woman to switch seats with me so we could sit together. We made a joke that maybe her new seat partner would be the love of her life and well, now I present you with this thread. — Rosey Blair (@roseybeeme) July 3, 2018
And because the internet if full of detectives, the identity of "Plane Bae" was discovered to be former pro soccer player Euan Holden. While Euan spent a few years in the Danish league and the lower tiers of English soccer, his brother turns out to be former USMNT player Stu Holden.
Mornin’ world 🌎...? You guys are cracking me up with ‘PlaneBae’. Where do I even start the day? Breakfast? — Euan Holden (@EuanHolden) July 4, 2018
Stu is currently covering the World Cup as an analyst for Fox Sports. He couldn't believe that his own brother upstaged him during the biggest month of his media career.
Can’t believe that while I’m covering the biggest event of my career #WorldCup⁠ ⁠, I’ve been upstaged by my brother @EuanHolden falling in love on an airplane. #Planebae#HunkyPlaneGuy — Stu Holden (@stuholden) July 4, 2018
I can’t right now...although we do need #PlaneBae World Cup predictions. https://t.co/zBB1EzMjZv — Stu Holden (@stuholden) July 4, 2018
Wait, so he did fall in love? It happened!? When a user asked Stu to clarify the result of his brother's viral love story, Stu played it coy.
I can neither confirm or deny that rumor — Stu Holden (@stuholden) July 4, 2018
Stu even asked his brother publicly for more details.
The deets are coming soon. I’m on edge of my seat — Stu Holden (@stuholden) July 4, 2018
Euan's Instagram gave the world some clues, though. Note the heart emoji.
Sat here thinking about how different the day would of been if I missed my flight ✈️❤️
Stu needs to give Twitter the inside scoop. Either way, there's no denying that this World Cup is officially the best.
