The Netflix Skywalkers Just Got Out Of Jail And We Are Shaking

Two people standing on top of a very tall building with the city below
  • The daredevil couple from Netflix is finally free.
  • Why their high-altitude proposal led to handcuffs.
  • What the judge said in court this morning.

We just saw the wildest update about Ivan Beerkus and Angela Nikolau. You know them. They are the stars of the Netflix documentary Skywalkers: A Love Story. They literally climbed the needle-top of the Empire State Building on Wednesday.

It was for a proposal. So romantic. But also very illegal. The police didn’t care about the ‘vibe’ of their love story. They took them straight to jail after they came down from the clouds.

Finally, we have news. The couple appeared in Manhattan Criminal Court this morning. The judge gave them supervised release. They are out of jail! For now, at least. A new court date is already set.

The aesthetic of their photos is always so clean and airy. Think bright blue skies and cold grey steel. It looks beautiful but makes our stomachs flip. It is art, but it is risky art. We hope they stay safe while they wait for their next hearing.

If you like big stories, Dulquer Salmaan’s New Movie Is Going Global and it has that same massive energy. We are totally obsessed with it right now.

The couple has to follow strict rules now. Ivan must check in regularly. Angela is also under supervision. They looked a bit worn out in court today. No more climbing skyscrapers for a while, we guess.

Our Take

We love a bold romantic gesture. But jail? Not so much. The photos they took are stunning, but the risk is huge. It reminds us of how Rajinikanth is Back in his new teaser. Real life is starting to feel like a high-budget action movie. Even Ken Burns says things are getting messy lately. Stay safe out there, you two!
