We are “platonic soulmates” who share the same bed – we don’t care

Who needs a man in bed with you when you have a bestie to cuddle with?

Estella Kyriacou and Imogen Clarke, both 25, went from Bumble BFFs to live-in bed-sharing — they sleep together but not together — in just seven weeks.

The two single Londoners declared themselves to be “platonic soulmates… because we felt like we understood each other,” Kyriacou explained to What’s The Jam.

She insisted that their relationship went beyond friendship as their relationship quickly heated up “when you know you know.”

“Big cities can be very lonely sometimes, and we all feel that,” Kyriacou said.

But since moving in together and becoming “platonic soul mates”, the two women couldn’t be happier.

“We both felt like we were just living our twenties the way we wanted to live them and had someone to share that time with,” she said.

Kyriacou, a law student from Toronto, Canada, and Clarke, a mortgage broker from Buckinghamshire, England, first met on the dating app in March and quickly hit it off.

“We were both a little nervous, but once we got there we felt comfortable,” Kiriakou said. “We had a few drinks and went to another bar and we both said ‘ok, let’s be friends’.”

Over the next few days, the two continued to get to know each other through text messages and voice messages, and soon knew they had found their match.

They joked about moving in together during their first meeting, and on their second hangout — a girls’ night out — they both decided to do just that.

Their third meeting was when they were apartment hunting in the city together.

“We weren’t best friends at the time, but we knew we were going to be really close,” Clark shared.

“When we signed the lease – less than four weeks after we started dating – Estella said ‘we’re going to be best friends’ and I said ‘I thought we were already best friends’.”

The pals moved in together on May 1 and said things have been “smooth” since then.

They spent all their time together, taking care of each other—Clark did the laundry, Kri’akou cooked—and looked forward to returning home.

“Just like people consider themselves lucky to meet their significant other at the right time and place, we also consider ourselves lucky because we are so happy and blessed to have found each other,” Kyriacou said.

“We always say we have a happy life together, and we really mean it.”

The two shared everything, including clothes, shoes, makeup, food – even a bed. But the girls didn’t see it that way.

Kiriakou, who has a fear of spiders, woke up one night to find a creepy crawler in her bed. She immediately woke her friend, but the two were too scared to do anything about the uninvited guest at 5 a.m., so they climbed into Clark’s bed together.

“I ended up sleeping in her bed for two weeks and we thought things would die down, but we got into a routine where every night we would review the day’s progress in bed,” Kyriacou said.

Now, young women use the spare room as a walk-in closet.

“A lot of people think it’s weird and think we’re together. But it’s like having a sleepover with your besties every night,” Kyriacou said, dismissively.

“We know that when one of us starts a relationship, there’s going to be quite a period of adjustment for both of us.”
