A young woman, Natasha Maree, 25, has opened up about her relationship with a 46-year-old man, Harley Johnstone, and how her father initially disapproved of their love.
Despite facing criticism and judgment from others, the couple believes their relationship is perfect and has found a way to make it work.
Natasha met Harley when she was just 18, while she was a university student in Sydney.
They started dating a year later and have been together for 6 years. However, their significant age difference has not gone unnoticed by strangers, who often label Harley as a "creep."
Surprisingly, Natasha's father was also unhappy about their relationship initially, but his perspective changed over time.
Ms. Maree acknowledged that her father who is 12 years senior to Mr. Johnstone, disapproved of their developing relationship.
However, their perspectives shifted after a few months, as they came to accept the sincerity and affection in their bond, warmly embracing him as a member of the family.
The couple attributes the success of their partnership to their shared interests and mutual appreciation for one another.
They emphasize that having common interests is crucial, regardless of the age gap. Natasha admits that they receive a lot of attention due to their online presence as fitness influencers.
Throughout the years, they have encountered numerous people who have criticized their relationship, claiming that Natasha is too young and Harley is too old.
I would be concerned if she’s a teenager. But she’s a grown woman and she makes her own decisions. It is their relationship. It’s their dynamics. They give each other what they each want and are happy about it so It’s none of our concern, one user supported the couple.
Who cares as long as you are happy together! I spent 22 years with my ex who was 14 years younger. He was 23 I was 38 when we met. It's nobody's business, it's your relationship, the second user commented.
Age is just a number! The moment people realise that, a bunch of us would be in happier, healthier, more fruitful relationships! The third user said.

Furthermore, their shared passion for fitness and wellness has played a significant role in their relationship's foundation.
A grandmother who is 61 years old wants to have a baby with her 24-year-old husband. Even though there is a big age gap of 37 years between them, they have chosen to use surrogacy to have a child together.
The couple first met in 2012 while working at a fast-food restaurant. However, they only reconnected and their romantic relationship blossomed in 2020.
They got married in September 2021 and are now ready to take the next step of having a child together.
Cheryl, who has seven children and 17 grandchildren from a past relationship, wants to have children with Quran.
Because of Cheryl's age, it has been difficult for them to conceive naturally, so they are considering surrogacy as a good choice.
The couple is thinking carefully about what to do and they know there might be legal issues in the future.
They are looking for a surrogate who will agree to a contract stating that they won't be involved in the child's life after birth. They aim to provide a loving and caring home for their future child.
