A COUPLE left people completely shocked after proudly showing off their age gap relationship online.
Bay, 18, is dating a man 39 years her senior.
Her boyfriend, Riq, is 57, and the couple’s huge age difference has left people open-mouthed, some of them quite horrified.
But the couple, both Americans, are not bothered by what trolls say about their age difference, as they confessed that they are “happy”.
Posting online, Bay revealed that her “husband,” who she describes as her “boyfriend,” is actually older than her parents.
In a recent video shared on social media, the couple filmed themselves posing for a short clip.
Riq wore a white vest, beige cargo pants, and a baseball cap, and flexed his muscles with pride.
By his side was his youngest girlfriend – Bay, a beautiful blonde teenager.
Bay cuddled up to her man, who she refers to as her “partner for life,” as she clung to his arm and posed in cycling shorts.
In another video, Bay explained that haters often tell her, “You’re too young for him.”
Likewise, the blonde beauty suggested that trolls would tell her man: “You’re too old for her.”
But Bay confessed he doesn’t take the comments seriously, explaining: “39 years between us, but we get along really well. We know how to have fun.”
Bay also stated, “The haters hate, but we’re happy.”
She then advised the keyboard warriors: “You need to relax.”
