“People Think He’s My Grandpa,” The Love Story of a Couple With a 42-Year Age Gap
The first time David saw Jackie, he was so amazed he jumped straight out of his chair.
Seven years ago, David, who was 63 at the time, crossed paths with Jackie, a young 21-year-old woman, on a dating website while he was traveling in the Philippines. It’s no secret that David and Jackie met on a well-known Filipino dating site.
David recalled, “One day, I saw her profile — I practically jumped out of my chair. I was so impressed by what I saw.”
Their very first date happened at a Starbucks coffee shop. During this meetup, Jackie already knew that she was dealing with a gentleman. After going on quite a few dates, the couple had to separate because David returned home to Oakland, California.
But the story doesn’t stop there. He missed Jackie so much that only three months later, one day, he decided to hop on a plane to the Philippines just to see her again.
Their wedding resembled a fairy tale.
On his second magical trip to her home country, Dave summoned all his courage and decided to ask Jackie the big question. After proposing to Jackie, she didn’t hesitate much and instantly said yes.
She also said, “I won’t regret marrying Dave because he’s a really nice man. He loves me, he respects me, he’s the best.” Nearly a year later, she received her visa for the United States. She also openly shared that their wedding was the best day of her life.
Dave had certain concerns regarding their relationship.
Even though Jackie was obsessed with her husband, Dave had some concerns, but not from his perspective. Dave revealed that when he was still courting Jackie, he constantly reminded her about the significant age gap between them. He even reached a point where he said that he was older than her parents. Fortunately, none of this could stop Jackie’s love for him.
The couple now lives together in the United States. Dave is retired, and Jackie works at a local drugstore. While he covers most of their expenses and bills, Jackie focuses on supporting her family back home in the Philippines by sending them the money she earns from her work.
People started talking.
The pair also has a TikTok account and frequently takes part in popular trends. While this might seem cute and constructive for the couple, in reality, it has opened up a new avenue for others to doubt their affection for each other. As David mentioned, “not every comment that comes in is positive.”
Jackie said: “So many label him as my sugar daddy, say I’m a green card digger, a gold digger, and lucky grandpa. But I’m not really affected because it’s not true. I know myself, I know that I am not a gold digger.”
David believes age is just a number and reveals that since he has Jackie in his life, he couldn’t be happier.
