That’s why, when you love someone, you might say you’re sweet on them. Being sweet on someone often implies romantic love, but you can be sweet on your friends, too. Often you feel sweet on someone in the early stages of a relationship. It’s like a crush. Being sweet on someone is having all those first, exciting, sugary feelings.
Solange Knowles’ son feels this excited kind of love for his cousin, Blue. You can probably imagine a young kid just being so full of sweetness and love for the new daughter of his aunt, Beyonce. He probably just wants to play with her and be with her all the time. He’s sweet on her.
