Honey, I’m home! Heartwarming footage shows woman who barely gets to see her fiancé because of their work schedules jumping into his arms when he returns to the house every day
- Kerry Tarleton, from London, lives with partner Sam Hignell and two children
- She works at nursing home at night but Sam works long hours during the day
- Ring doorbell from past year shows mother-of-two greeting him as he gets home
Heart-warming CCTV footage recorded a woman running and jumping into her fiance’s arms every time he returns home from work – despite being together for a decade.
Kerry Tarleton, from Bromley, London, lives with husband-to-be Sam Hignell and her children Oscar, seven, and Arthur, four.
The mother-of-two works at a nursing home at night and gets to spend precious few hours with estate agent Sam, 29, who gets home at 8pm after being out of the house for 13 hours a day.
Footage captured over the past year by their Ring doorbell camera shows Kerry running to meet her partner of 10 years as he gets home from work.

Kerry can be seen running from their kitchen door when she spots her partner before jumping into the air and wrapping her legs around him.
Other clips show Sam trying to open the door before Kerry suddenly pulls it open and jumps into his arms.

Kerry collated the clips all together as part of a 30th birthday present for Sam but decided to upload it to TikTok where it has been viewed more than 263,000 times.

Kerry said: ‘I’m just so happy to see Sam. I know it sounds cheesy but we have a lovely relationship.
‘The kids are normally in bed asleep when he gets home, so why would I not be pleased to see him?
‘We’ve been engaged for six years and Sam is away for 13 hours a day. I’ve been at home with the kids during that time, so I’m really excited to have some adult interaction.
‘I do nights at the nursing home and Sam only gets home at 8pm, so quite often we’re just passing each other. It can be really tough at times but you have to make money.’

Sam was furloughed from work at the start of lockdown for six weeks so the couple (pictured with their children) were able to spend some quality time together but he has since been back in the office

Kerry, who sells scented candles through her company SOAK, said: ‘I was making a present of clips of me and the kids and Sam showed me a video from our doorbell camera and that gave me an idea to make a compilation of them.
‘Lots of people have said they want this in their life or they’re going to start doing the same with their partner.
‘If we’re helping spread a little bit of that at the moment, then I’m really happy we can add to that.’
