According to a press statement from Guinness World Records, the couple broke the Guinness World Records’ previous record of 3 minutes and 24 seconds set 13 years ago on the Italian TV show Lo show degli recordi. The official Twitter account of Guinness World Records posted a video of the incident. The video’s caption reads, “These lovebirds set a new underwater kiss record because their joint love was the ocean.”
The duo began their attempt at 7.30 am with a warm-up breath hold and two trial underwater kisses of two and three minutes each before deciding to break the record. Despite all their work since originally coming up with the idea three years ago, underwater filmmakers Beth and Miles admit the whole thing was a lot more difficult than they expected. Despite being professionals, the couple said that performing the stunt was challenging for them.
