Why Is 'Lanealexisxo' Exposing Her Mother-In-Law On TikTok? The Viral 'Unhinged Boy Mom' Wedding Day Kiss Explained
A TikToker is going viral after exposing her mother-in-law for a questionable kiss she shared with her son on their wedding day.
The TikToker recently posted a series of videos airing her mother-in-law out for several incidents related to her wedding day, but one photograph of the mother-in-law stealing a seemingly sensual kiss with the husband-to-be has everyone talking.
So what is the full story behind Lanealexisxo's wedding and how is TikTok reacting to her videos? Here's what you need to know.
What Happened At Lanealexisxo's Wedding?
On January 3rd, 2025, TikToker @lanealexisxo, also known as Lex, posted a slideshow to her account consisting of several photos from her wedding day. The first photo shows Lex kissing her now-husband that day under the ominous caption, "I hate my mother in law."
In slide two, over a photo of her mother-in-law and husband walking down the aisle, she writes that she "doesn't hate" her mother-in-law, but that she "didn't want to be" at their wedding and made sure everyone knew before she walked down the aisle.
While that's bad enough, slide three is what has everyone talking. The slide consists of a photograph of her husband and his mother (the mother-in-law) kissing on the lips. The caption reads, "I don't hate her but the way she purposely kissed her son when he went to kiss her cheek will forever be a memory on my special day."
The next slide shows Lex standing with her mother-in-law and who is presumably her father-in-law, captioned, "I don't hate her but I won't forget all the bad things she said about me then continues to smile standing right next to me like I don't know."
The final slide shows Lex kissing her husband and reads, "I don't hate her but I will continue to pray for her because it's not hurting me, it's hurting her son that doesn't deserve this for sticking up for the person he loves."
The video blew up, garnering over 12.8 million views in just three days and becoming one of the biggest stories on the platform of 2025 so far.
