I met my man when I was 20 & he was 38…people say he looks like my dad & I have ‘issues’ but we’ve been married 12 years
A WOMAN has revealed that she met her man when she was just 20 and he was 38.
But despite the 18 year age gap, Valeria Lipovetsky, 33, and her husband Gary, 50, tied the knot in 2012 and have now been happily married for almost 12 years.
Posting online, Valeria gave her social media followers a quick look at her marriage.
The content creator first shared a picture of when she initially met Gary, when she was just 20 and he was two years away from 40.
Seconds later, Valeria then posted a picture of the couple now, 13 years later.
Valriera beamed: “Married for almost 12 years.”
But although Valriera is clearly smitten, not everyone was as positive about their relationship.
With Valriera being early 30s and Gary now 50, people made cruel assumptions about their relationship.
Mean keyboard warriors were quick to accuse Valriera of having ‘issues’ and many said Gary could pass for her dad, or even worse, her grandad.
However, on multiple occasions, the influencer has clapped back at haters and has confirmed that she “knew he would be an incredible partner and father to our future kids.”
The couple now share three children, Jake, Benjamin and Maximus.
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @valeria.lipovetsky, has clearly left many totally stunned, as it was posted just one day ago, but has quickly amassed a whopping 334,700 views.
But social media users were left divided – while some were complimentary of the couple’s relationship, not everyone was as kind.
One user penned: “This is an image of true love, age doesn’t matter as long as you love each other.”
Whilst a second wrote: “Love has no age so may god bless your marriage.”
However, at the same time, someone else said: “This is the same age gap as my mom and me, and I feel we have nothing in common.”
Another added: “That’s disgusting.”
A third commented: “Daddy issues.”
Another user claimed: “Still weird.”
Meanwhile, another wrote: “He looks like her dad or grandfather. Ugh.”
