I’m 18 and my boyfriend’s 60 – trolls say our relationship is wrong but it’s not illegal, and they’re just jealous
AGE is just a number – expect when it comes to dating were even the smallest age gap can complicate things.
Whilst most people would be nervous about dating someone a decade older, one couple has over forty years between them and claim that others are ‘jealous’ of their relationship.
Though most teenagers are thinking about the future, it seems 18-year-old Keisha Louise knows exactly what she wants from hers.
Despite still being in her teens, the influencer and fitness fanatic knows what she wants and it happens to be a life with her 60 year old boyfriend, Dimitrios.
Even with their 42 year age gap, the couple are devoted to each other and regularly share videos of themselves at the gym training together.
Having bonded over a love of fitness, the couple began dating in early 2022 and have been together for just over a year and half.
Whilst Keisha might have been of age when they began dating, it hasn’t stopped their relationship from coming under intense scrutiny on social media.
Trolls regularly target their videos on Tiktok, leaving cruel comments about the couple – claiming that their relationship is ‘wrong’.
One user also accused Keisha of being a ‘gold digger’, writing: “This is really now money can buy happiness.”
Understandably, the couple have hit back at those who refuse to accept their relationship.
In a recent live video, Dimitrios hit back at the hate claiming that everyone was ‘jealous’ of his relationship with Keisha.
His other half has done the same, brutally replying to some of the most hurtful comments on their videos.
Responding to a cruel jibe about Dimitrios needing to be ‘locked up’, she wrote: “It’s not illegal what I’m doing. If it was illegal and of concern, they would be snooping around.”
The influencer then added: “Or as you say would’ve locked him up.”
On another video, she hit back at trolls and said: “[I] was never his daughter’s friend. We met and what’s the problem?”
Rather than ignore the cruel comments, Keisha has even shared extra details about their relationship and even uploaded videos of their day to day lives.
Thankfully, others have been more accepting of their unusual relationship with others revealing that they also had a large gap with their partner.
“19 years between me & my partner we been together 11 years! Best 11 years of my life!!” admitted another user.
A third added: “Love hits you at any age. I found my guy through gaming. He is a lot older but we just click. Wish you two all the best”
Some even questioned why people were so against the relationship even though the couple are clearly in love.
“Literally don’t understand the hate,” a supportive fan said: “If you’re both happy who cares?!”
Hopefully, the couple have a much less dramatic future ahead of them.
