Asking a guy if he recognises Mia Khalifa is like asking how much he earns. Both are a no go.
But it seems one husband was just in the wrong place at the wrong time when he accidentally recognised the former adult star while on his honeymoon.
To make peace, the hubby purchased his TikTok star wife a very expensive gift as an apology. Watch below:

The former porn star, turned social media personality, quit the industry in 2015 after feeling pressured in her 'extremely abusive' relationship.
However, many of her fans still recognise her for her adult film career and so did Lya Mariella's partner.
He spotted Khalifa when the pair were out for dinner in Paris.
Taking to TikTok, the influencer said her man got 'way too excited' and 'text all of his guy friends' after spotting the ex-porn star.
Khalifa hilariously commented on the post, writing: "Girl my man was on his phone the whole time, I say we throw them all away and go shopping tomorrow."
Mariella replied: "I’m currently at Hermes across the street, feel free to meet me here."
To which Khalifa added: "Good, he owes you a birkin."
Considering the cheapest Birkin bag costs around £5,000, you would've thought this back-and-forth was little more than banter. But the content creator's SO took the apology seriously and ended up splashing out on the expensive accessory.
It certainly did the trick, as just hours later Khalifa and Mariella appeared in a video together, filmed by the husband no less.
"I'm here at the christening of the Birkin... we're not going to dunk it in water because we don't do that to a Birkin," jokes Khalifa.
"This was the best meeting ever and also her husband that we were talking s**t about is the one filming this right now."
"What a time to be alive," adds Mariella as the pair both hug.
Khalifa herself was delighted by the exchange, sharing a screenshot of one of Mariella's videos on X alongside the caption: "This influencer staying at my hotel in Paris posted a TikTok feeling bad cause her man was excited to see me walk by at dinner last night, and this morning he bought her a birkin to make up for it. A *BIRKIN*!!"
She also shared a TikTok skit in which Mariella appears annoyed off with her husband before she hands over the bag, with text over the clip that reads: "When you're about to cuss him out for recognising Mia Khalifa but he hits you with the uno reverse: birkin edition."
Judging by the lighthearted nature of their videos, it looks like it's all water under the bridge - although you would expect that when someone buys you a gift as expensive as a house downpayment.
