Since being shared online, the video has gone viral on several social media platforms and left netizens emotional. While many extended support for Barilaro, others praised Fabre for his loving gesture.

Beautiful girl, and wonderful boyfriend. Shame some people can’t be nice and just enjoy the moment. Life is short people, don’t waste it being bitter and nasty.
