After meeting on Hinge in 2021, Levi and William quickly moved in together just outside Toronto.
Cut to three years later and theyre an it couple on TikTok.
William, 25, went viral last year for hisASMR-style cooking videosin which he creates and plates complex meals.
William is nothing if not calm, nurturing, and precise, and his 947,000 followers eat it up.
How Levi Found Her Voice
Levis early TikToks are a far cry from what she posts today.
While that initially brought in big numbers,her viewership eventually started to drag.
And rebrand she did.
In the spring of 2024, Levi started to open up about her life,work, and relationship.
Her male fans werent thrilled.
For a lot of men I’m their fantasy, she says.
Her male followers didnt like to seeWilliam in her videos, either, but Levi didnt care.
Hes a very important part of my life, and it became too difficult to hide him.
Once Levi stopped posting for the male gaze, her audience completely shifted.
My page has turned into what feels like a safe space for me to exist.
It is, however, an adjustment.
Funny enough, sometimes its easier to play a character than yourself, she says.
But her most popular?
The videos whereWilliam is serving her foodas her real-life stay-at-home-boyfriend.
She was like, Oh, this is the female gaze.
While talking to me, the couple frequently look at each other and complete each others sentences.
Its the same chemistry thats evident in their videos.
People can get this weird possession of a creator, he says.
Ive had followers say, We want just you.
We don’t want to see Levi.
Whether on-camera or off, the couples relationship centers around food.
Its been trial by error, he says.
Ive learned all my cooking knowledge by making meals for Levi.
I don’t know what those were called… she says.
Agnolotti with the sweet pea?
There’s something very precious about homemade pasta.
Sometimes we just love a late-night bowl cereal, William says.
Its just the normal list of stuff that falls under a homemaker, he says.
It’s sad that this is the standard or that our situation seems unique, Levi says.
I don’t think it should be unique, and I hope that it becomes the norm.
For now, she knows shes lucky to have a stay-at-home boyfriend.
The pair hopes more men see their content and realize they can be more helpful in their own relationships.
Levi loves that William has it all locked down and that he enjoys every minute of it.
