They were divorced for seven years.
Ever since Lindsay Lohan graced us with “The Parent Trap” in 1998, millennials have worked on elaborate plots to bring their divorced parents back together.
Most of the time, there’s a reason a marriage didn’t work out and there’s not a whole lot even an adult child of divorce can do.
However, Twitter user @VirgoVonnie has given the internet hope with a heartwarming tale of his divorced parents giving each other another try.
Vonnie usually tweets about his body positive clothing company, but he probably didn’t expect his best content to be from his mom:
\nMy parents divorced 7 years ago & started dating other ppl....they’re both recently single now & this is what my mom sent me last night pic.twitter.com/NwdsUXR1UF

His mom is going to get her man back!

Naturally, the internet needed more details, and Vonnie delivered:
\nA lil back story...they were together for 19 years...had a nasty break up....just started speaking to each other last year....she left him btw which is why I was shocked when she sent that
— Fat Boy (@VirgoVonnie) November 26, 2018\n
She left him and she’s still mesmerized by the way he smells! Aww...
\nJust to clarify....cheating wasn’t the reason for them breaking up lol
— Fat Boy (@VirgoVonnie) November 26, 2018\n
Ok so if cheating wasn’t the reason, then what was it, @VirgoVonnie?

He gave us some more information on their backstory:
\nMy parents love story would actually make a good screenplay They met in 1992 at a club in Miami lol
— Fat Boy (@VirgoVonnie) November 27, 2018\n
\nI think I should write screenplay based on my parents relationship or y’all need to get this in somebody’s hand who can.

And people were here for it:
\nWell I just watched too many hallmark movies and now I’m invested in this love story of 6 messages so pls update this

Some people even offered up a parent trap success story of their own:
\nMy parents divorced for 8 years and my mom had a whole ass kid in that time frame. Happily married again for 6 years now and he’s raising my little sister like his own just like he did with my older sisters.

The response overall, though, was overwhelmingly supportive:
\nAll they needed was some space for a while, tell her I'm rooting for her

\nPeople give up to soon, go into the world, test other waters, only to go back to the one they love. Maybe we should really try harder or think longer before leaving
