In what might be the strangest romantic tale ever told, a recent tweet highlighted how legendary crooner Tony Bennett “met” his wife Susan while she was still cooking in her mother’s womb. Yes, you read that right—a 40-year-old man claims he crossed paths with a fetus. “How romantic!” you might think. But hold up—who finds that charming? Seriously, PEOPLE magazine, couldn’t you have picked a better nugget from Bennett’s memoir?
Bennett’s book, Just Getting Started, recounts how decades before their love blossomed, he encountered his future wife while she was still an embryo. Fast forward to when she was 19 and a devoted fan; she finally got to meet him backstage after a concert. “It tickled me that someone of her age was so devoted to my music,” he muses. Naturally, he invited her to be his date that night, which kicked off their decades-long relationship. Cute, right? Well, maybe if we gloss over the whole “meeting in the womb” part, which could raise a few eyebrows.
Twitter lit up with reactions, and let’s be honest—no woman would escape ridicule for bragging about her future husband being met in utero. So, if you think it’s unfair that we poke fun at this odd story, tough luck! Men may get to date zygotes, but women are totally allowed to roast them for it. Life balances out in its own quirky way.

Women can certainly take the liberty to jest about the absurdity of it all. After all, when it comes to dating zygotes, it’s only fair we get to have a chuckle.
