😱💔 Unlucky in Love? Friday the 13th Lands Right Before Valentine’s Day

If your romantic vibes feel a little… cursed today, there might be a reason 🪞🧂🐈‍⬛

Today is Friday the 13th — and not just any one. It’s the first of THREE Friday the 13ths in 2026, which is the most you can have in a single year. The next two are coming next month and again in November. So yeah… buckle up 😬

And here’s the twist: it’s landing right before Valentine’s Day. The last time that happened was back in 2015 — so it’s not super rare, but it doesn’t happen all the time either. (It lines up anytime Valentine’s Day falls on a Saturday.)

So if you:

  • Break a mirror 🪞
  • Spill some salt 🧂
  • Walk under a ladder 🪜
  • Or get side-eyed by a black cat 🐈‍⬛

Maybe don’t text your ex today.

💕 But Wait… It’s Also Galentine’s Day

Plot twist! Today is ALSO Galentine’s Day — the holiday dedicated to celebrating female friendship and platonic love 👯‍♀️💖 It was inspired by Parks and Recreation, and honestly? It might be the safer celebration this year.

So the question is…Are you avoiding the number 13 altogether? Skipping that 13th mimosa? 🥂Not blasting Taylor Swift (who famously LOVES the number 13)? 🎶✨

Or are you leaning all the way in and planning a Friday the 13th horror movie marathon tonight? 🔪🍿

🍩 A Little Luck to Balance It Out

On the bright side, Krispy Kreme is giving away 13,000 Original Glazed dozen boxes today at participating locations. Winners get a coupon for a free dozen 🍩✨

So maybe Friday the 13th won’t be unlucky after all.

Whether you’re feeling cursed or confident, just remember: if things go wrong today… you can always blame the calendar 😈📅
