The Thai couple who captivated the world in 2013 with their record-breaking 58-hour, 35-minute kiss have now announced their separation, BBC reported.

Ekkachai and Laksana Tiranarat made history by securing the Guinness World Record for the longest kiss, an achievement that required them to stay locked in an embrace without sleeping, standing for more than two days.

A heartbreaking announcement

In a surprising turn of events, the couple has now decided to go their separate ways, leaving many admirers disheartened. While they have not shared specific reasons for their split, they admitted to gradually growing apart over time.

“It’s with a heavy heart that we share this personal change,” Ekkachai revealed in a podcast. Reflecting on their journey together, he expressed gratitude for the cherished memories they had created but acknowledged that it was time to move forward separately.

Mutual respect despite the split

Despite ending their romantic relationship, Ekkachai and Laksana have assured that they will continue to maintain mutual respect and focus on co-parenting their children amicably. While their relationship has changed, it remains grounded in shared experiences and understanding.

A history of record-breaking feats

Ekkachai and Laksana were no strangers to record-breaking attempts. Before their 2013 triumph, they had previously secured the longest kiss record in 2011. Their victory not only earned them global recognition but also saw them take home a grand prize of 100,000 Thai Baht (£2,200) and two diamond rings worth another 100,000 Baht (£2,200).

Guinness World Records no longer recognizes longest kiss

Following their historic achievement, Guinness World Records eventually replaced the ‘longest kiss’ category with the ‘longest kissing marathon’ title.
