A “stay-at-home friend” has gone viral on TikTok after sharing a video of her daily routine of taking care of her billionaire boyfriend.
Kendel Kay, 25, who lives in Puerto Rico, shared a clip of herself going through her morning routine at home, much of which revolved around entrepreneur friend Luke Lintz, 22, who reportedly runs a PR firm in the Valued at over $8.1 million.
The couple, who met on an influencer journey, enjoy lavish vacations, private jet travel and Kendel often shares pictures of himself dressed in luxury brands, with handbags from Louis Vuitton and Dior, each worth over $1,000 retail cost.
But when she shared a video of how she goes about her day, she was criticized by some viewers, who said her routine looked “boring”.

In the TikTok video, which garnered a whopping 6.9 million views and nearly 300,000 likes, she refers to herself as a “stay-at-home friend.”
Luke, who has 1.1 million Instagram followers, said he enjoys their “traditional” power dynamic: “I love that Kendel is a stay-at-home friend – I’ve always believed in a very “traditional” relationship.
“I believe that the man in a relationship should do the manly work and earn enough to run the household while his woman rests in her feminine energy.
“Kendel and I met in Tulum on an influencer trip. Neither of us even planned on going on the trip and then at the last minute Kendel said she had a strong desire to go to Tulum and I had a last minute planned business trip in Cancun that suited me perfectly to spend a few days in Tulum.
“It was really an instant connection. We’ve been inseparable since we first met in Tulum and have been together pretty much every day since.”

In the clip, the influencer begins the post by stocking water bottles and coffee for both of them, making green juices with Luke, making an iced latte with homemade almond milk and tidying up her bedroom.

While the popular post garnered 6.9 million views and nearly 300,000 likes, viewers were divided in the comments, with many mocking her “boring” lifestyle.
One person said: “Morning routine as an unemployed person who will do anything for Luke.”
“Are you asking anyone else what she writes in her planner?” asked another reviewer.
Someone else commented, “A planner to plan what?”
“I’m already bored,” added another person.
Viewers were divided in the comments, with many mocking her “boring” lifestyle and some asking “does she long for purpose”.
Other critics questioned whether the video was a “joke,” called her routine “boring,” and compared her lifestyle to that of a cat.
However, other viewers found the routine envious.
One person said, “I also want to say home.” [sic] “Wish this was my life,” agreed another user. Someone else said, ‘You have the best job for a living.’
Another user added: “The comments are not sentiment. She journals, goes to the gym, hangs out on the beach… loves language, maybe acting or service? This is a dream for some, so don’t hate it.’
Kendel said some people “completely disagree with my lifestyle choices” and “some people support me.”
She admitted that she makes her income from social media and content creation, but it doesn’t take up much of my time

Admitting the video was “quite controversial,” Kendel said, “Some people don’t agree at all with my lifestyle choices, and some people support me and admit that they also wish they could live a life of feminine leisure.
“Social media and content creation is what makes my income, but it doesn’t take up much time – I spend most of my time being a housemate.
“My afternoons usually involve a long walk around the neighborhood, some cleaning, and making lunch for my friend Luke.”
She added: “I don’t handle negativity well so I’ve held back from reading the comments. It’s better for my sanity to stay out of the comments section – sometimes ignorance is a bliss.
Luke is enjoying their current setup with Kendel in the house, and he calls them “inseparable.”
