**Bangkok, Thailand** – Ekkachai and Laksana Tiranarat, the Thai couple who famously held the Guinness World Record for the longest kiss (58 hours, 35 minutes), have announced their separation. The news comes as a surprise to many who followed their story after their record-breaking feat in 2013, a Valentine’s Day achievement that garnered international attention.
The couple, who also previously won the record in 2011, endured the grueling challenge of a non-stop kiss, showcasing remarkable endurance and dedication. Their accomplishment earned them significant media coverage and established them as a symbol of enduring love.
However, in a recent podcast interview, Ekkachai revealed that he and Laksana have separated, citing a gradual drifting apart. While specific reasons for the split were not disclosed, Ekkachai expressed that they have mutually agreed to separate and continue co-parenting their children amicably. He noted the couple shared many cherished memories but ultimately decided to move forward separately.
The couple’s record-breaking kiss in 2013 won them a 100,000 Thai Baht prize and two diamond rings, each worth 100,000 Baht. It’s noteworthy that Guinness World Records has since replaced the “longest kiss” category with a “longest kissing marathon” category.
The news of their separation has left fans disappointed, but the former couple maintains mutual respect as they navigate this new chapter in their lives.
