Lucky Blue Smith’s Driving Rule Sparks Mixed Reactions Online

Avery Sinclair here, bringing you the kind of truth that doesn’t come with a filter or a sugarcoating. If you thought modern relationships were all about equality and shared responsibilities, buckle up—because Lucky Blue Smith is out here rewriting the rulebook one gas pump at a time.
In a recent TikTok video uploaded to his wife Nara Smith’s page, Lucky laid down what he calls an “unspoken rule” in their marriage: he drives, always. Yep, you read that right. The 27-year-old model-turned-influencer proudly declared that he gets “bothered” when he sees women driving men. Because apparently, chivalry isn’t dead—it’s just been relocated to the driver’s seat.
Nara, 23, didn’t exactly argue. In fact, she leaned into it, explaining that she hasn’t pumped gas in years unless she’s alone. “I don’t remember the last time I filled the tank,” she said with zero irony. Because nothing says romance like letting your husband handle all things combustible while you ride shotgun (literally) through life.
Now, before we get too deep into this, let’s remember these two are expecting baby number four together. That’s right—this isn’t some fresh-faced couple testing out gender roles for fun. They’ve got three kids already and somehow still have the bandwidth to make marital rules sound like a scripted reality show segment.
The internet, ever eager to cheer on performative gestures, ate it up. Comments flooded in praising Lucky for being the “ultimate gentleman.” One user even quipped, “Girl how did u get so ‘Lucky.’” Cue the eye-rolls. Meanwhile, others weren’t as thrilled. Some questioned whether this was empowerment or regression wrapped in a bow of nostalgia.
But hey, it’s not all backseat living for Nara. She claims her contribution comes in the form of hot sauce maintenance. Every time the bottle dips below half full? Grocery run. And if Lucky’s salad looks suspiciously veggie-heavy, rest assured she’s already weeded out anything he might frown upon. He only noticed after she pointed it out, but now he’s calling it “a perfect salad.” So there’s that.
Of course, the video wasn’t just about them. It segued into other celebrity couples sharing their own relationship wisdom. Mariska Hargitay and Peter Hermann, married over 20 years, talked about using humor to mend fights. Chip and Joanna Gaines stuck to date nights and no TV. Kevin Bacon, ever the realist, joked that his best advice was “keep the fights clean and the sex dirty.” Solid gold stuff, folks.
Still, the Smiths’ segment stood out—not because it offered groundbreaking insight, but because it highlighted how easily some people romanticize outdated dynamics. Is it cute that Lucky won’t let Nara drive? Sure. Is it empowering? Depends who you ask. Either way, it’s generating clicks, views, and a whole lot of side-eye from those of us who still believe in equal parts gas money and decision-making power.
So while some couples are busy surviving arguments with inside jokes and emotional grace, others are making sure the hot sauce never runs dry. Different strokes, I guess. But if you’re wondering where this falls on the spectrum between charming tradition and old-school control, well—that’s why we’re here. To keep it real when everyone else is trying to sell you a fantasy.
And that’s today’s dose of reality. You’re welcome.
