If you thought New York City was just for bagels, Broadway, and “Hey, I’m walkin’ here!” energy, think again — Naeto C and Nicole Chikwe just turned it into a family-style summer moodboard.

They’ve been hopping around the Big Apple like it’s their private backyard, starting with Central Park, where the skyline photobombs every picture like an uninvited (but very welcome) guest.

Nicole’s in a sleek black strapless dress, Naeto’s rocking neutrals — light shirt, breezy trousers — and the kids? Bringing the colour splash with a bright blue jersey, sunny yellow tee, and crisp white graphic top. All of them in matching white trainers because, clearly, coordination is the love language here.

Cue the couple shot on a park bench — sunglasses on, leaning in, radiating “rom-com B-roll” energy. You can practically hear the saxophone music in the background.

By the time they hit Times Square, the kids are wide-eyed, surrounded by blinking billboards and a crowd that looks like a walking UN meeting. It’s the kind of holiday that makes you want to close your laptop, text the group chat “Pack your bags,” and go turn some random city into your own postcard.
