- [Interviewer] Is he your sugar daddy?
- I take care of all the expenses in the house
at the moment.
If that constitutes a sugar daddy, maybe?
- Yes, for sure. (laughs)
(orchestral music)
- [Interviewer] Hi.
- Hi.
- [Interviewer] What's your name?
- Jacob.
- [Interviewer] Who are you here with today?
- My girlfriend wanted me to come down
and do a Cut video with her.
So here I am. (interviewer laughs)
- I'm Alex.
I came here with my fiance, James.
- [Interviewer] How long have you guys been engaged?
- Oh, that's a good question.
- [Interviewer] Oh boy.
What is the age difference between the two of you?
- 12 years.
- I'm 42.
- I am 70...
And a half.
- I'm 26.
- [Interviewer] How old is she?
- 23.
- [Interviewer] And you met when?
- When I was 16, turning 17.
- [Interviewer] And you were?
- 19.
- He was 20.
- [Interviewer] She said 20. (laughs)
- Did she really?
- Well like, 17 and 20, yeah.
- I am 24, almost 25.
And he just turned 38 in February.
So we were about 13 and a half years apart.
- [Interviewer] That's a big gap.
- Yeah, it is.
It's the biggest gap I've ever been in.
- [Interviewer] Are you a little uncomfortable with that?
- At first I didn't know if I should pursue it
since there was such a big age gap.
- [Interviewer] Did you get a lot of side eye?
- Yes, we did.
- However, she was pretty persistent.
She's definitely the hot one. So, you know,
I couldn't really say no.
- How did you two meet?
- I was working in a call center for his company.
- She would call me every day with work orders.
So we talked on the phone multiple times a day, every day.
- As soon as he said hello on the phone,
I was like immediately in love with his voice.
I was like, oh, he sounds like an older man.
I was like, I was like that.
And then we eventually decided to meet up in person
and I hadn't met him for the first time.
- We made it official on Valentine's day.
- We met at work.
- He was actually my supervisor. (laughs)
(interviewer laughs)
- She reached out to me via Facebook.
- I was just like, hey, thanks for the ad.
Like what's going on?
And that's pretty much how it started.
- [Interviewer] So she pursued you?
- I know, isn't that hard to believe?
- [Interviewer] Was he still your supervisor
when you two started...
- Yes, pretty much.
When I got on the floor,
we had to keep our relationship on the down low.
- [Interviewer] How did you two meet?
A friend from his work taking him to Colombia,
to a ladies party.
- [Interviewer] What's a ladies party?
- This was a marry agency.
- [Interviewer] What was the courtship like?
- I met a girl that spoke pretty good English.
And I said, pass that lady what she thinks of old men.
- [Interviewer] What'd she say?
- I really like him, his blue eyes.
Before he come back to the US
he said, "You wanna marry me?"
And I said yes.
- That's the way it rolled.
- [Interviewer] Does age matter in a relationship?
- No, I don't think age matters.
- If you have a connection with someone
and you're both comfortable, then age doesn't matter.
- No.
- I think so, yes.
- If you like one another,
you're meeting that common ground.
- Well, the person getting older,
the other person have lot of energy.
Find a lot of different things.
It's hard to keep it up. (laughs)
- I think the age gap that I have with my husband,
that's okay.
- She'll make jokes about when I graduated high school,
she was only like five, six years old.
That's kind of creepy, you know?
- [Interviewer] Yeah.
- When you put it that way.
- Age matters, but not in ours. (laughs)
- [Interviewer] Why not in yours?
- Well, because three years isn't that bad.
I don't think.
- [Interviewer] Did people ever give you shit
for the age difference?
- No. - No.
I would say I was on the younger side of the spectrum
of who she dated.
- I dated a guy that was eight years older than me
when I was 14.
- [Interviewer] So you've always tended to date guys
that are older?
- Yeah.
- [Interviewer] How does society feel about the age gap?
- I don't know,
but my group of friends are very happy for us.
I haven't encountered anybody other than my mom
who was a little concerned at first.
- She was like, "Oh, you got to be careful
with them young girls, she can get pregnant
and then trap you."
- [Interviewer] What about her side of the family?
- Her father came walking out of the bedroom,
cleaning a gun.
- My dad's side of the family really didn't have a reaction.
They always thought I'd date someone older
just 'cause I act so much older than my age.
- We hung out that evening.
We had a blast, and after that he's been really nice now.
- Mom was very hesitant.
She's very skeptical.
- Her mom had kids with a much older man.
- My dad was 20 years between him and my mom.
So it's like, 12 years, like come on.
- So right back at you there, mom.
- [Interviewer] Your parents met him?
- Yes.
- [Interviewer] What'd they think?
- No one really support him much
because the age difference.
- I didn't plan me meeting somebody
27 years younger than me.
That's the way it got carried out.
- [Interviewer] Why do men date younger women?
- 'Cause they're gross. (laughs)
- It's kind of like the mindset, I guess.
- For sex?
- Older women aren't attractive, I don't know.
No, some of them you can't go by.
J-Lo because she's 50.
- [Interviewer] But there is something around looks?
- Looks or movement.
I don't know what it is.
- They're hot.
You know, they don't have-
A lot of times the older women have kids.
And then when you have kids, your body looks different.
- I would say it's because of looks.
There's no wrinkles.
Everything's tighter.
- [Interviewer] Why do women date older men?
- Men don't grow up real soon.
- [Interviewer] So you're saying you're immature?
- No, I'm not immature.
Younger men are immature.
- It's maturity, hands down.
- They feel more secure.
- More set and established, which is great. (laughs)
- [Interviewer] Is your husband your sugar daddy?
- Yes. (laughs)
- I would say so.
- Yes, for sure.
- She doesn't currently have a job,
she's in between jobs.
So I take care of all the expenses in the house
at the moment.
If that constitutes a sugar daddy, maybe.
- [Interviewer] Do you think the two of you
will be together forever?
- Yes.
- I think we've been together forever.
I think we're a perfect match.
- She's just brings out the fun in me.
