What if your partner’s gym routine was actually a recipe for love?" In today’s heartwarming Dirty Little Secret, a caller confesses to sneaking off twice a week—not to the gym, but to a local bakery. Why? To secretly take baking classes so he can recreate his wife’s late grandmother’s famous cinnamon rolls.
After seeing how deeply his wife grieved the loss and how much she missed her grandmother’s baking, he decided to surprise her with a Christmas gift that’s more than just sweet—it’s sentimental. He’s been pretending to hit the gym, complete with workout clothes and water bottle, while actually learning how to knead, roll, and bake in honor of her family’s legacy.

Key Moments:
  • The emotional motivation behind the secret baking classes
  • The plan to reveal the surprise on Christmas morning
  • Candice shares her own story of recreating her grandmother’s “Granny Cake”
  • The crew gets unexpectedly emotional over this rare, wholesome confession
Tune in for one of the sweetest Dirty Little Secrets ever—and maybe grab a tissue. This one’s a cinnamon-scented tearjerker.
