25 year old social media sensation Julia fell in love
and married 61 year old political pundit Eileen.
Their relationship was judged because of their age gap.
Julia: We did get like quite a few hate comments.
But that hasn't stopped them.
The couple are now headed to the Big Apple to give Julia a chance
to get to know Eileen’s family better.
Julia: We're almost there and I’m a little bit nervous.
But it seems there are further hurdles in store for the couple.
Julia: Eileen is in freaking jail.
Hi, sweeties. Welcome back to the channel.
And my wife Eileen and I have just been through
one of the worst few days of our lives.
**** just crazy and it was freaking traumatizing.
It all started 14 years ago.
Yes, she got this rental car and instead of giving it back
when she was supposed to, she kept the car for two extra weeks.
So basically long story short, Eileen ended up having a warrant out for her arrest.
But at the time she moved to LA and then she moved to the UK and things never got sorted out.
Having forgotten about this rental car charge on arriving in the US,
Eileen was arrested and taken to jail, much to the shock and distress of Julia.
Julia: Eileen is in freaking jail.
Leaving Julia to fend for herself alone in New York City.
Julia: Well I’m here but she's not here with me.
Her taken you away from me really, really makes me realise that like
I love her even more than I thought I did.
And I just want to get her out and take her home.
After hours of waiting Julia was finally told where Eileen was,
and she headed to the county jail to pick up her wife.
Eileen: Oh my doll oh my God.
Julia: I love you so much, I love you.
Oh thank ****you being here.
With Eileen out of jail, she was able to get her charges dropped,
leaving the couple free to go and spend some quality time, with Eileen’s family.
Julia: We are going to spend the holiday with Eileen’s family.
At her niece's, so that's going to be very nice
and I'm slightly nervous because I've only met them once at the wedding.
Having spent only one day with her in laws before
it's important for Julia to make a good impression.
Julia: We are almost there and I’m a little bit nervous.
Eileen: Oh baby don’t be. Julia: No further filming for the
seeing your family. Eileen: Family,
well I’m very excited to see them again. Julia: Me too.
Eileen: Hi sweetie. Hi how are you?
Eileen: How are you darling?
Melissa: Eileen is definitely a fun person. She's smart.
She's funny. She's got such a great sense of humour
and I've always known that about, you know any of our different kin.
And the wedding was the first time we had met Julia.
So, you know, I saw her walk down the aisle before I had met her.
And I mean when, when we did get to talk to her, you know, she was
as sweet as could be.
She I mean, I really can't say enough good things.
She's sweet, she's bubbly. She's cute. She's, you know,
she's everything that you know, that compliments Eileen, so
Cheers.
I didn't get your mug.
Melissa: Who’s that?
Julia: For me as a gay woman its really, really meaningful
to be able to be married officially.
And to be able to refer to Eileen as my wife.
Because just a few years ago, we were unable to do that.
The only hate we got because of her age gap was online.
When we started posting our videos together, we did get
like quite a few hate comments.
Sometimes people stare at us when we are out and about
and because of our age difference, but nobody has ever actually said anything.
I think people are mostly curious and
they try to figure stuff out and Eileen: Yeah.
Julia: Try to figure out what our relationship is.
Eileen: I think what they mostly probably are wondering are we
very affectionate mother and daughter,
or a couple.
And I think people are getting more sophisticated where they allow
into their mind that we're possibly a couple.
Julia: Yeah we’re here at Melissa’s house.
Melissa is my niece in law.
This is my nephew in law
and my grandnephew in law is somewhere else.
With Eileen family charmed, the couple's trip has ended in triumph
despite all the obstacles thrown in their path.
Eileen: It’s lovely to see how love can break through prejudices.
Julia: We're not trying to prove anything to anyone else.
We're just living our lives and Eileen: Just be.
Julia: Exactly yeah.
