IN most relationships, people tend to get a little comfortable as time goes on.
Despite this, one girlfriend has revealed that she helped transform her boyfriend from a geek to a Greek god – leaving people shocked by his stunning appearance.
Seriously, seeing is believing with this one and influencer Alisha Issac has provided evidence of her boyfriend’s incredible makeover.
Though everyone is beautiful in their own way, the viral video shows Diogo as a shy and awkward youngster in a series of ‘before’ photos.
In fact, he looks virtually identical to Will from The Inbetweeners – complete with ill-fitting clothes, bad hair and unflattering wire framed glasses.
Like a fine wine though, the Brazilian businessman has gotten better with age.
Gone are the oversized clothes, which have been replaced with a classic white tee and blue shorts in one of the ‘after’ photos.
In addition to his new wardrobe, Diogo has gotten a serious confidence upgrade and showed off his chiselled physique alongside his girlfriend Alisha.
While he’s clearly spent hours in the gym, the Gold Coast model took credit for the glow up and told her 368,000 TikTok followers that it was the ‘girlfriend effect’.
She even cheekily joked in the caption: “I definitely win this trend.”
If you are unfamiliar with the ‘girlfriend effect’ phenomenon, it describes the way some men suddenly upgrade their appearance after getting into a relationship.
Unsurprisingly, it’s become a major trend on TikTok with women revealing how they have helped their other half be more stylish.
Sadly, it seems that women aren’t quite so lucky when they fall in love.
Many even claim to have experienced what they call ‘boyfriend air’; a strange effect which causes them to look dishevelled whenever they hang out with their other half.
Some dating experts have blamed this on bad bathroom supplies, less time for beauty routines and even snuggling up with your loved one – all of which can leave women looking less glam.
Though neither phenomenon has been scientifically studied, many of Alisha’s followers on social media seems convinced that the ‘girlfriend effect’ is real.
After her video racked up over 995,000 views on Tiktok, one commenter said: “You deserve an award girl.”
“I can’t even get my boyfriend to buy new shirts. How are you doing this?” questioned another stunned viewer.
“He looks like Will from The Inbetweeners in those first few,” joked a third, with others claiming that he also had a resemblance to Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s Andy Samberg.
Even Diogo admitted that Alisha had changed him for the better, writing: “Thank you so much for the amazing effect in my life… love you.”
However, some users weren’t quite so convinced of Alisha’s transformational effect and claimed that it was all down to exercise instead.
“Girlfriend effect or gym effect” argued a fourth person, with a fifth stating: “I think he was just keeping up with the fashion trends and gym, because I used to dress like this too.”
Whether you side with Alisha or not, the couple now look picture perfect together!
