If you haven’t been living under a rock, then you must have seen those ‘distracted boyfriend’ memes. They were the biggest meme trend of 2017 and now they are back, but with a twist. When Spanish photographer Antonio Guillem took these photos for stock photograph agencies, he might not have expected that the picture will become a hit meme.
The meme that shows a couple walking down the streets, with the man ogling at another woman, has come back with another theory. On Monday, Twitter user Ernie Smith came up with the backstory of the woman (the girlfriend) in the meme. According to Smith, the woman has a tendency to get shocked, a little more than usual.
Here’s how it all started

Last year in November, another Twitter user Andrew J Abernathy had done some digging and found out what happened to the couple after.
