‘I met my 50-year-old girlfriend on Tinder - people think she’s my mum but we don’t care’

Oh, let's all gather 'round and marvel at the wonders of Tinder, where age is just a number and societal norms are thrown out the window! Mickey, the strapping 23-year-old, found his soulmate in Cherie, a seasoned 50-year-old who's conveniently mistaken for his dear old mum. How quaint!

Mickey always fancied older women, and Cherie is a widow. Perfect combination!

The couple from Katy, Texas, matched on Tinder after Cherie's husband passed away and she thought she'd give dating younger lads a go. Mickey's always fancied older women but never met one he clicked with like Cherie.

They quickly became a solid item and decided to tell their families about their love. "When I first started getting into age gap relationships my mom wasn't very supportive because she just thought an older woman would use me. But when she met Cherie she could see how happy we were and she just warmed to her straight away“.
