Stassi Schroeder and Beau Clark’s Body Language, Explained

All eyes were on Stassi at her fashion event and Beau, according Orbuch, clearly knew that. His adjusting her hair is something Orbuch says Stassi both invited and appreciated because of the way she’s smiling and looking at Beau with “adoring eyes.”

It’s one of the simple ways Beau shows Stassi he’ll be there for her whenever she needs him. I mean, just look at his concentration! Orbuch says it’s as if Stassi asked him how her hair looks, and he instantly dedicated all of his attention to keeping it at its best.

ICYMI, Beau is the life of the party, and he brings out Stassi’s playful side. He keeps a smile on her face while showing her (and everyone else, for that matter) that he loves loving every part of her—birthday meltdowns and all.

His propping her leg up is for laughs, of course, but Orbuch can see that there’s something more behind it. Beau is communicating: “Can you believe this?! I’m with her!” And Stassi, standing tall and serving up a genuine smile, can’t get enough.

It’s no secret that reality show reunions are hea-ted and, somehow, Beau’s guest appearance at the season seven reunion brought Stassi some much-needed calm (especially since she was sitting next to James Kennedy).

“Both Stassi and Beau look comfortable and happy in this photo,” says Orbuch. Beau’s large smile is a dead giveaway, but what you might not pick up on is how Stassi is leaning back in her seat and angling her head toward Beau, meaning she’s at ease now that he’s by her side.

Plus, they’ve got their hands on each other’s legs—a healthy possessive move that convinces Orbuch these two only have eyes for each other.

There’s just a bunch of good things going on here, according to Orbuch.

First, there’s the touching bodies. The lack of space means Stassi and Beau are bonded to each other (almost literally). Then, there’s the matching stances: their feet pointing toward each other means they’ve got one another on the brain, despite all the cameras in their faces.

And THEN, Orbuch notes the way they’re both standing tall. Though Stassi and Beau have heart eyes for each other, the way they’re standing tall without leaning on each other shows how confident they are in themselves. That, she says, proves their being together is a choice based on love, not necessity.

Stassi makes a good point in the Instagram caption she wrote for this photo: “The Look of Love or Gone Girl vibes?”

Regardless of which you choose, the romance in this photo is undeniable. Even when this couple poses for the ‘gram, it’s clear to Orbuch that Stassi and Beau take care of each other because of the way their arms are extended toward one another. “She’s staring intensely right at Beau,” a look which tells Orbuch that Beau is Stassi’s one and only.

This is one Orbuch called “cute” and “comfortable—” two labels she wishes she could give every couple.

While looking good together is a bonus, being comfortable with each other means Stassi and Beau can totally be themselves when they’re together. The trust is especially obvious because of the way Stassi’s nestled up to Beau, who wraps an arm around her in order to better support her.

Plus, the fact that Stassi’s entire body is facing Beau’s and his knees are angled toward hers shows there are no walls between these two.

I mean, this pic just says it all—no analysis needed. Congratulations to the happy couple!
