SSM PHOTO NEWS- *Married couple who hold world record for the longest kiss share tragic update on their relationship* World record holders Ekkachai and Laksana Tiranarat have parted ways-- ⚜️⚜️A once besotted couple who broke the world record for the longest kiss have sadly revealed they're no longer together. Ekkachai Tiranarat and his wife Laksana, from Thailand, kept their lips locked for a whopping 58 hours and 35 minutes, breaking the Guinness World Record in 2013. But speaking on new BBC Sounds podcast, Witness History, Ekkachai revealed the couple split but says he remains 'very proud' of the record.--------He explained the competition's stringent rules included sustaining the kiss during toilet trips and having to pass water between each other's mouths, which he claims made the experience far from enjoyable. 'I am very proud. It was a once in a lifetime experience,' he told host Megan Jones on the podcast. 'We spent a long time together and I'm trying to remember the good memories and that we did this together.' Two-time winners of the competition, Ekkachai and Laksana first set the world record for the longest kiss in 2011, when they lasted for 46 hours and 24 minutes. The couple initially didn't sign up for the 2011 competition, which was scheduled for a few days before Valentine's Day, as hopeless romantics eager to spend hours in each other's arms.
