It started in Brazil. On 21 October 2026 at 16:31 UTC, an AI creator account posted a 10-second clip captioned "My girl" with a heart: a huge hand covers a couple's eyes, flies away after 7 seconds, and the two smile into the camera. TikTok marks it as AI-generated. By 23 October it had 3.6 million views and 290,500 likes, and the top comment, with 6,360 likes, just asks "AI?". Most comments are in Spanish. The clip's sound became the trend. Two hours after the post, people began copying it for real, covering the lens with their own hand and then showing their face; 37 hours later the sound had 947 videos. On 22 October a phone video editor's AI template turned the effect into a one-photo job for two people, and how-tos named it the "My Girl original couple trend": #mygirloriginalcoupletrend and #mygirlcoupletrend were both created that day and passed 160 videos each within 18 hours. Spanish how-tos call it the "trend original de parejas" or "Mi chica, tendencia de pareja original", Portuguese ones "Minha garota, tendência de casal original" (the minha garota trend). ### My Girl Couple Trend trend timeline - **2026-10-21**: An AI creator account in Brazil posts the "My girl" clip at 16:31 UTC: a giant hand covers a couple's eyes, then pulls away.

The video model takes your photos as references ([Image 1], [Image 2] in the order you add them) and films the scene straight from them, with no photo step first. AI Video takes one photo as the first frame, so it cannot run this prompt the same way: the prompt is here to read. #### Variant: Couple Settings: 2 photos (you (18+), face clear + your partner (18+), face clear) · Seedance 2.5 · 10 s · 720p · 9:16 · with sound · 126 credits in one tap. 1. The video prompt is filled in. Settings: Seedance 2.5, 10 s, 720p, 9:16, sound on. The video prompt: ```text A viral "my girl" couple clip in one continuous shot with no cuts, made from [Image 1] and [Image 2]: a giant hand right in front of the lens pinches the couple, then pulls away and reveals them. Vertical 9:16, photorealistic, filmed with a phone at chest height, the couple from the thighs up, side by side in the center of the frame, in a bright modern building lobby with a light grey ceiling, soft daylight and a softly blurred background. The person on the LEFT is the person in [Image 1], in every frame: copy the exact face from [Image 1] (the face shape, eye color and eye shape, eyebrows, nose, mouth, skin tone, age, hair color, hair length and hairstyle, and any beard, moustache, glasses or freckles) and the clothes from [Image 1]. The person on the RIGHT is the person in [Image 2], in every frame: copy the exact face from [Image 2] (the face shape, eye color and eye shape, eyebrows, nose, mouth, skin tone, age, hair color, hair length and hairstyle, and any beard, moustache, glasses or freckles) and the clothes from [Image 2]. Never blend their faces. Each face stays the same from the first frame to the last, also under the fingers and while they laugh, so their friends recognize them at once. If an image shows an animal, that one is that animal with its own face, fur and markings, not a person. The hand: One giant, realistic adult human hand with natural skin and short clean nails, held right in front of the lens by the person filming, so it looks huge next to the two people (forced perspective). It comes in from the top left corner: the thumb on top, the index and middle fingers stretched flat across the frame, as if it pinches both of their heads between the thumb and the fingers. The fingers cover only their eyes and foreheads: their noses, mouths and smiles stay visible under the fingers. Only the hand and the wrist show, never an arm or a third person. 0-1 s: the hand is already there, close to the lens, and pinches the two heads. The couple stands side by side, the one on the right with a hand on the hip, both smiling under the fingers. 1-7 s: the hand holds still. Under it the couple giggles, talks softly, as if teasing the one who films; only their mouths and chins show under the fingers. 7-8 s: the hand pulls away fast toward the lower left corner and leaves the frame in a motion blur. 8-10 s: the couple is revealed. The person on the left leans toward the camera with a playful look, the person on the right smiles big, then they lean their heads together and look into the camera. Both faces are large, sharp and fully visible. Audio: a quiet lobby, soft giggles, and at the reveal they say warmly: "Love you, love you!" No music. Exactly two people in the shot, both grown adults, and one hand only. No costumes, no hats and no props unless they are in the photos. One head each, five fingers on the hand. No text, no captions, no subtitles, no stickers, no emojis, no logos, no watermark. ``` 2. Press Generate, then download the 9:16 MP4.

One-tap version of this variant: https://www.makeviral.ai/templates/my-girl-couple-pinch-ai-trend/create?variant=besties ### Which photo works best? You need **two photos**, one person in each. - **Photo 1** is you, **photo 2** is your partner (Couple) or your best friend (Besties). Photo 1 stands on the left, photo 2 on the right. - Use sharp photos from the chest up, faces toward the camera, in good light. No sunglasses, no hand on the face, no beauty filter. - The clothes in your photos are the clothes in the video, so pick photos with the outfits you like. - Only adults (18+), and only people who said yes. Never a celebrity, a stranger or a child. ## How many credits does it cost? You pay per video in credits, and the create page shows the exact price on the Generate button before you spend anything. The one-tap price covers the scene photo and the video, charged once. The cheaper models are there if you run the prompts by hand in AI Video. | Video model | Settings | Credits | | --- | --- | --- | | Seedance 2.5 (this template) | 10 s, 720p, straight from your photos, one tap | 126 | Credits come with a plan; see [pricing](https://www.makeviral.ai/pricing). A failed video gives its credits back. ## What happens in the video, second by second? The **Couple** version is one continuous shot, like the clips on TikTok, made from your two photos: | Time | What you see | |---|---| | 0-1 s | You two stand side by side. A giant hand, held right in front of the lens, comes in from the top left corner and pinches both your heads between the thumb and the fingers. Your eyes are hidden, your smiles show. | | 1-7 s | The hand holds still. Under it you giggle and talk, as if you tease the person filming. | | 7-8 s | The hand pulls away fast to the lower left and is gone. | | 8-10 s | The reveal: you lean your heads together and smile into the camera. "Love you, love you!" | It is 10 seconds, vertical, 720p, with its own sound. Photo 1 is on the left, photo 2 on the right. ## Couple or Besties: which one, and what does it cost? **Couple** is the trend as it started: the two of you in a bright lobby, the giant hand pinch, the reveal. **Besties** is the version best friends post: you and your best friend on a beach at night, the hand pinches you, and when it pulls away, big fireworks burst over the sea and you cheer and hug. Both are made straight from your two photos with top-quality AI video models, including Seedance 2.5, with no in-between picture, so both faces stay yours. The price of each version shows on the create page before you start. No other app or editor is needed, and there is no my girl couple trend template to download or my girl couple trend tutorial to follow. ## Is this the same as the October "my girl" trend? No. Search "my girl trend" or "my girl trend tiktok" and you also find older trends: the 1 October "my girl, my girl, my girl" edits set to a love song, and slideshow edits of girlfriends. The my girl couple trend is new (21 October 2026) and has its own look: the giant hand over the lens and the reveal. "My girl" is simply the caption of the first clip. Many how-tos still stuff all of these words into one caption, so a "my girl trend edit" can mean either one. ## Giant hand, big hand, hand pinch: how the trick works The joke is forced perspective. A hand close to the lens looks as big as the two people behind it, so it seems to pinch their heads between the thumb and the fingers. That is why people also call it the giant hand trend, the big hand trend or a couple pinch. On TikTok, many people film it for real: a friend holds a hand over the camera, then pulls it away, like a hand over camera transition. The AI version needs nobody to hold the hand: it builds the whole shot from your photos. It is a cousin of the [hand pinch filter](https://www.makeviral.ai/templates/hand-pinch-filter-ai), the hand pinch trend where you close your eyes and a realistic hand pinches your cheek. That one is for one person and the fun is your reaction; this one is for two, and the fun is the reveal. ## Tips for posting your my girl couple trend video - Write "My girl" with a heart as the caption, like the first clip, and tag your partner or best friend. - Use #mygirlcoupletrend and #mygirloriginalcoupletrend so people who look for the trend find you. - Post it as a couple reveal: a new relationship, an anniversary or a "guess who" moment. - Make the Besties version for your best friend: the fireworks reveal works for birthdays and nights out. - The video has no text, so you can add your own words on top in your style. ## My Girl Couple Trend trend questions ### What is the my girl couple trend? It is a TikTok trend from October 2026, also called the My Girl original couple trend: a giant hand in front of the camera pinches two people and hides their eyes, then pulls away and reveals them smiling. It started with an AI clip posted from Brazil on 21 October 2026 that passed 3.6 million views. ### How do I make the my girl ai couple trend video? Pick Couple or Besties, upload one photo of you and one of your partner or best friend, and start. You get a 10-second video with the giant hand, the pull and the reveal, with sound. Photo 1 stands on the left, photo 2 on the right. ### Can I use one photo of the two of us? Use two photos, one person in each. The AI keeps each face best when it gets one clear face per photo. If you only have a photo of the two of you, crop it twice, once around each face. ### Can I do it with my best friend instead of my partner? Yes. The Besties version puts you and your best friend on a beach at night: the hand pinches you, then fireworks burst over the sea when it pulls away. ### Is it the same as the hand pinch filter? No. The hand pinch filter is a one-person trend where a realistic hand pinches your cheek while your eyes are closed. The my girl couple trend is for two people, and a giant hand pinches your heads from the top of the frame before the reveal. ### What do minha garota trend and tendencia de pareja original mean? They are the Portuguese and Spanish names of the same trend. "Minha garota" and "mi chica" mean "my girl", and how-tos in Spanish call it the "tendencia de pareja original" or the "trend original de parejas de My Girl". The trend started in Brazil and is big in Latin America. ### Can I use a photo of a child or a teenager? No. Both people must be adults (18+) who agreed to it. We never make this video of a child. ## Other AI video templates and tools - [Hand Pinch Filter AI: Close Your Eyes and a Hand Pinches Your Cheek](https://www.makeviral.ai/templates/hand-pinch-filter-ai): Eyes closed, a calm face, then a big, realistic hand reaches in from the edge of the frame, pinches your cheek and pulls.
