An innocent take on a TikTok dance trend recently went viral for the undeniable chemistry between the dance partners.

It turns out, as commenters suspected, Mike is more than a work husband — he’s Julie’s actual husband, too!

“Mike and I are both veterinarians who own our own veterinary hospital. We are partners in every sense of the word — at home and at work,” Julie tells PEOPLE.

Julie explains she unknowingly piqued her followers' interest in their relationship when sharing another video.

“I had posted a different video where I was interpretive dancing for Mike to leave early and a lot of people thought something salacious was going on,” she laughs.

In another set of videos, the two tried the lift fromDirty Dancing, which they managed to nail in just five minutes and two attempts.

“What you see is what we did! We have very little free time for these things, so I squeeze them in whenever I can — five minutes over lunch usually,” Julie explains.

“We did two takes for theDirty Dancinglift. The first was a fail which I shared too because it’s hilarious.”

The couple has been amused to see the videos go viral since neither considers themselves “actually good dancers.”

“I see fun TikToks online and ask him to do them with me and he does! We have fun goofing around. I started doing TikToks with my staff as a morale booster and way to connect with each other,” she adds.

“Our jobs can be very emotionally taxing, so it’s my job to create a safe and positive culture to protect my team from burnout; playing around on TikTok is just one way I achieve that.”

The sweet way of getting in some fun and stress relief together is one that’s sure to continue, Julie says.

“I’m sure I’ll find many more dances that I can convince Mike to try. Any chance to spend a moment together laughing we’ll take!”
