Was it an act of affection? Pippa Middleton was caught pinching her boyfriend Nico Jackson’s cheek during a bike ride with her brother James. Looks like the allegedly engaged couple is comfortable with each other! While Pippa, Nico and James were having some family fun time on a bike ride, Duchess of Cambridge was battling some severe morning sickness. Poor Kate!

According to USA Today, “Pippa Middleton was caught pinching boyfriend Nico Jackson’s cheek on Monday in London.” Judging by her boyfriend’s expression, he was caught off guard and the pinch definitely wasn’t a gentle teasing kind either. Looks like Pippa Middleton really went for the grab.

Pippa Middleton, Nico Jackson and James Middleton were all on a bike ride around London. Seeing how the sister of Duchess of Cambridge took part in a super intense bike ride across America with their brother, they seemed like they were in the right elements to call up some playful spirit.

Pippa was so engaged with them that she even “did a little dance at one point,” according to USA Today.

Though this bike ride was a family affair, Duchess of Cambridge was nowhere to be seen. That’s probably because Kate has been fighting some severe morning sickness ever since she got pregnant with her second child. Her sickness was so intense that she had to cancel her solo trip to Malta!

Bike ride was probably not the best idea for the Duchess.

With all the pinching and dancing, Pippa Middleton and Nico Jackson looked so much like a married couple that it’s hard to remember that they are not even engaged. Do you think that the couple will tie the knot soon?
