Women move in together as platonic life partners after finding they're soulmates

Meet the best friends who say they are "platonic life partners" - who live together after both getting divorced and claim "you don't need a man to be happy". Marissa Baker, 30, and her best friend, Patty Kulak, 27, say they are "platonic soulmates" and will be in each other's lives forever.

They claim they're often mistaken for a couple with people constantly asking if they're in a relationship with each other because they get along so well. The pair met on January 1, 2021 at Marissa's birthday party and when Patty separated in January 2021, she was supported by Marissa - who also separated from her husband in May 2021.

In May 2021, the singletons decided to move in together as they both were going through a divorce and now go on friendship dates, work out and do household chores together. Marissa claims they "are like wives" but insists it works because they "aren't attracted to each other".
