I’m 22 and my boyfriend is 55… we’re blissfully happy but people always say the same thing
A WOMAN who’s in a relationship with a man 33 years her senior has hit back at trolls who always say the same thing.
They say love knows no age – and one couple has certainly looked past it, with more than 30 years between them.
Nicole Downs, 22, from Michigan, the US, started dating her now-boyfriend, 55, when she was 18, and has since began to document their relationship on social media.
The ”stay-at-home girlfriend” is regularly getting spoilt by her man, Michael, who was 51 when they met on Gaper – a dating app which connects local singles looking for a serious and mature relationship.
And it’s safe to say, Nicole has found many perks from being with someone older.
Not only does the young blonde gets designer items cause she ”can’t leave LB [Louis Vuitton] empty handed” but she also often grabs Michael’s card to go on shopping sprees.

Whilst her boyfriend’s working, the 22-year-old ”stay-at-home girlfriend” keeps herself occupied with making a hearty breakfast, going to the gym and enjoying a relaxing time in a sunbed.
”I’m not expected to do any work.”
During the harsh winters months, Nicole would much rather whizz off to a nail shop to get a fresh manicure, leaving Michael to do all the housework and shovel the snow off the road.
Last year, she also had a BBL done – although it is unclear where the funds came from.

However, one thing that Michael has certainly covered is Nicole’s beauty treatments, with him transferring the young woman over £730 for lip fillers.
”Make the man pay for it,” she said whilst showing off her new pout.

But of course, the age gap relationship has come under fire on TikTok, where many social media users have been saying the same thing – that Michael looks old enough to be Nicole’s dad or even grandfather.
Plenty of people have also speculated about the young woman’s true intentions behind being with someone 33 years her senior.
Here, countless viewers have pointed out that the man is rich and she was simply in it for the financial gain – and this might be confirmed by the ”#sugarbaby” and ”#sugardaddy” hashtags next to a lot of the videos.
However, despite being met with criticism online, Nicole claimed the two are happily in love.
”I couldn’t imagine my life if we never met,” she said whilst sharing a heart-warming snap of themselves.
”We’re Happy together despite what other people might think.”
To everyone hating on their relationship, Nicole said: ”Go cry about it, b**ch.”
The age gap relationship has also seen a lot of support, with one fan writing: ”two people are happy spending time & love together let them be.”

Another joined and commented: ”If age wasnt a thing, all id see are two people in a healthy committed relationship posting it online? ppl [people] be triggered by everything [sic].”
Nicole’s videos on her TikTok page have amassed her close to 650,000 fans and more than a whopping 30million overall likes.
