I’m 42 and my man’s 24 – trolls say he’s ‘working hard for his PS5’ but he’s a brilliant step-dad to my teenage kids
A 42-YEAR-OLD mum shared an insight into her 18-year age gap relationship.
The woman revealed that she first matched with her boyfriend when he was 22 and she was 40.
In her viral video, TikTok user Tina (@tinamiks) explained that she met her boyfriend Kasper, 24, on Tinder.
Despite Tina’s initial hesitance, the couple have been going strong for three years.
She revealed that people warned her that the 18-year age gap was a “stupid idea.”
According to the TikToker, many people told her her relationship was “never going to last.”
Tina, who shares children including a teenage daughter with her previous partner, commended Kasper’s dedication to her family.
She explained that he attends all of her kids’ activities such as sports games.
However, online trolls have implied that Kasper is only with Tina for her money.
One viewer even joked that the young man was “working hard for his PS5.”
Other TikTok users warned Tina that her boyfriend will leave her for a younger woman.
But the mum insisted that their relationship is genuine as is Kasper’s role as a step-dad.
Kasper revealed that his own family were apprehensive at first but have since come around to the idea.
TikTok users shared their thoughts on Trina and Kasper’s 18-year age gap.
“He looks like your son,” wrote one viewer.
“Hell no! That would be like dating my son! Literally,” said another follower.
“I am happy for you. But I would be absolutely livid if I were his parents,” commented a third person.
