Across the world, many married couples share a significant age difference. In some cases, partners are over 20 years apart. In the entertainment industry, figures such as Arbaaz Khan and Milind Soman have
drawn attention for marrying younger partners and facing public criticism as a result.
Today, a similar story from the United States is creating waves on social media. It centres on 23-year-old Gianna D’Alessio and her 46-year-old husband Greg, whose 23-year age gap has often led people to mistake them for father and daughter.
Love At Work
Gianna revealed that she met Greg through work, and the two fell in love within just a month. Shortly after, they decided to live together under the same roof. Gianna says she felt so secure and happy in the relationship that she began planning to grow her family very early on.
She revealed that before meeting Greg in June 2022, she had never dated anyone significantly older or younger.
After dating for about a year-and-a-half, the couple welcomed their daughter, Melody, even before getting married.
Because of their age difference, Gianna says people frequently assume Greg is her father. Despite this, the couple says they are content and confident in their relationship. Gianna has also shared that she is expecting another child.
Speaking openly, she said their relationship and intimacy never felt like a limitation. According to her, expanding their family felt natural, even though they were aware that public criticism would follow.
Facing Criticism And Online Judgement
Gianna, a content creator, often shares moments from her personal life on social media. While many followers are supportive, others leave harsh comments questioning her intentions.
She explained that strangers often accuse her of being with Greg for financial reasons. However, she says such remarks do not affect her and often make her laugh. She also clarified that she has never received negative reactions from close friends or family members.
Gianna regularly posts photos and videos with Greg, which often attract rude comments. Some users have described Greg as looking like her father, while others questioned why she chose to be with an older man. Despite this, Gianna continues to share her life openly.
Recalling one incident, Gianna shared that during a visit to the doctor, a receptionist asked whether Greg was her father. The couple laughed and clarified that he was her husband. The receptionist appeared shocked, remarking that Gianna looked very young for a married woman.
A Blended Family
Greg is already the father of two children from a previous relationship. Gianna said this never bothered her, and Greg’s children have warmly accepted her into their lives.
She expressed gratitude for finding a partner who treats her with respect and care, saying that Greg taught her the true meaning of love.
The couple often use their platform to show that love does not follow age boundaries. Gianna concluded by saying that people should live life on their own terms rather than according to public opinion. According to her, those who truly matter will always be supportive.
Gianna described Greg not just as her husband, but as her best friend, adding that she cannot imagine her life without him.
