FOR years, Hannah Dickson, 26, was convinced she’d find someone her age.
However, life didn’t quite work out that way and now she’s in a happy with fitness coach Chris who is 57.

The two first met at the gym – and since making it official, it seems that the loved-up duo are inseparable, despite what the critics have to say.
Although their relationship might not be conventional, the 26-year-old revealed that her parents “are very supportive” of her and her decision to be with Chris.
According to Hannah, who regularly mocks her fella for being decades older, her man treats her “like a queen” and they use social media as a tool to showcase .
“Regardless of how old somebody is, you can have two people [the same] age come together and not be compatible,” she said, as per Metro .
Chris, who worked as a personal trainer at the gym when they met, revealed the two “had a brief interaction” once – but from there on, they didn’t speak properly for another two years.
That is, until January this year, Chris and Hannah shared the story time on their page .
“Me and my best friend went on a trip for my birthday and when we got back, I just spontaneously wanted a – and I chose him,” said Hannah.
The fitness lovers quickly developed a close relationship, with Hannah starting to refer to their meetings as ‘therapy sessions.’
They also had a lot in common, talking “about anything and everything, from to religion”.
According to Hannah, who was previously in a two-year-long relationship with a man 32 years older than her, the topic of age-gaps actually came up in conversation once.
“Age difference was discussed one time in the sense that, would you rather have 20 good years with somebody versus 60 bad years with someone else,’’ she told Metro.
“There was never a ‘What if?’, ‘What are people going to think?’’ Chris said.
“Everything flowed so naturally.”
By March the pair, who met in February this year, were official and have made it clear they don’t care when online trolls refer to them as ‘father and daughter’.
“If I could marry her right now, I would. It’s one of those things that you know is real,” Chris continued.

Fierce social media divide
Online, the unconventional relationship has gone viral, with a recent video racking up more than 2.7million views – and sparking a fierce debate.
While many shared their own age gap stories, there were also hundreds who thought the age difference wasn’t “okay”.
“I used to think this was cute until I became a mother of girls – then my brain changed,” wrote one mum.
“Your age gap is older than I’ve been alive… and I’m 29,” someone else commented.

“14 year age gap and yes I’ve never felt so seen and heard and cared for,” said one TikToker.
“I’m 27 and my man is 44. We love age gaps. As long as the person is right and the timing wasn’t weird, why would it be an issue. lots of love from this girly to another,” a second chimed in.
