Candiace couldn’t help but chime in on the hilarious similarity between their style of crying. “Love me some Sutton,” she tweeted in response, also adding several laughing face emojis.

This isn’t the first time that Candiace has addressed her trademark method of blotting her tears. During a November appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen After Show, Candiace spilled all of her folded tissue secrets to host Andy Cohen.

When asked, “How do you fold your napkins to blot your tears? I want specifics for the folding,” Candiace followed up with an expert demonstration, which you can follow along in the video, below.
