There’s something about those moments right before falling asleep that says a lot about a relationship. It’s that space where couples talk, laugh, maybe cuddle, kiss, and sometimes take things a step further in the intimacy of their bedroom or at least, that’s the idea. But if you’re Holly Sonders, and your partner is legendary boxer Oscar De La Hoya,you’d expect the nighttime routine to be a little wild and full of energy. After all, he’s a fighter. But something happens that completely shifts the mood.
Holly gave her followers a glimpse into what nights in bed with Oscar De La Hoya are really like. It’s one of those moments where she’s not angry, not exactly annoyed but let’s just say, she’s definitely not thrilled either. And honestly, it’s the kind of awkward silence many couples know too well, where saying nothing feels easier than saying what’s really on their mind.
Holly Sonders reveals what really happens when the lights go out
At first glance, you might think a long-awaited moment between them is about to unfold something soft and intimate right before they drift off to sleep. Maybe Oscar’s going to pull her close, say something sweet to set the mood. But no. Like many people, he falls into that all too familiar trap where things get awkward, and you’re not quite sure how to shift the vibe. Holly just stares into the camera with that look we’ve all given or gotten at least once. That silent question: Now what?
Forget the title belts, the headlines, the controversy. This is a man, in bed, more emotionally connected to his phone than to the woman lying inches away. And this, folks, is where a lot of relationships live today: in the weird, wordless space between “I’m here” and “I’m present.”
That feeling of trying to connect, only to be left staring at someone who’s deep in TikTok, Twitter or in Oscar’s case, watching his old boxing highlights on YouTube for the tenth time, or scrolling through the profiles of guys he once fought. He’s right next to you, but he’s not really with you. And it stings, even if you both laugh about it later.
The sad part is, this moment isn’t rare, it’s painfully common. And it’s not just because it’s Oscar De La Hoya. It could be anyone. Fame doesn’t shield you from real life stuff. Not from routines that turn into walls. Not from silence that grows louder over time. Not from that quiet, awkward space in a relationship where the connection slowly slips away replaced by a screen that glows just a little too bright in the dark.
It’s the honesty of the bedroom the space where you either connect without saying a word or quietly feel the distance grow. Moving forward means working on your habits as a couple, and keeping communication open, even when it’s uncomfortable. No matter how much trust you have, that part is never easy. Holly Sonders and Oscar De La Hoya seem to be at a point where they need to face it head on to rekindle the connection with each other, not with a glowing screen.
