One Woman's April Fools' Prank Spectacularly Backfired

We saw plenty of A-plus April Fools' Day pranks that went down yesterday, but this one took over Twitter. A user named Hayleigh McBay tweeted a screenshot of a convo she had with her boyfriend — she pretended to dump him, but he agreed with the plan. It's been retweeted and favorited more than 14,000 times (!).

OK, so it didn't actually backfire because his response was a joke and the two are still together, proving they're just a really cute couple with thousands of new fans.

just to clarify me and David did not plan that but he guessed it was April fools so jokingly replied, sad that I have to specify that lmao
