4. Daniel and Noa deface her billboard.

Imagine telling your kids that on your first date, you spent time spraypainting a giant mustache on your wife’s billboard face. That is Noa’s idea of a good time. She and Daniel get strapped up to harnesses and climb up to use spraypaint on Noa’s photoshopped features.

Together they draw on a big black mustache right across her upper lip. Except, Daniel can’t bring himself to damage her beauty permanently. He opts to add a bright green butterfly to the mustache, which Noa finds adorable.

3. Daniel treats Noa to a baking tutorial.

Later in the evening, Noa takes Daniel to one of her famous friend’s houses and asks him to bake a sweet treat for her and her entourage. In the kitchen, Daniel tries to teach Noa how to cook, although it is clear she hasn’t spent much time in the kitchen.

Daniel has to jump in when she gets a little too intense with a rolling-pin. It’s very cute to see the two of them baking together. Daniel is surprised by how quickly Noa jumps into new things, even if she’s never tried them before.

Standing in the kitchen, with icing and various other ingredients splattered across her apron, Noa looks like she really tried to get the recipe right. Daniel admits he’s impressed with her fearless attitude and her willingness to get dirty.
