Just weeks after her one-year wedding anniversary, 19-year-old Samantha Simpson spoke to the media for the first time about her relationship with her 62-year-old hubby, JR.
Though the two are currently living in happily wedded bliss in their recently purchased home in Wichita, Kan., Samantha says that they are still battered by “daily abuse” from strangers, who often mistake the couple for a granddaughter and grandfather, The Sun reports.
“It's even worse when people call JR a 'child snatcher' or a 'pedophile' when they see us hold hands or kiss in public,” Samantha, a student, told The Sun. "There's not a moment when we are out and about that someone doesn't make a comment about our relationship, and it's just exhausting.
"We have had enough of a hard time with family and friends not accepting our relationship, that when strangers do it too it just becomes too much,” she continued. “We just want people to realise that we are happily married and serious about our relationship — and other people shouldn't be discriminating us in such a way."
According to the outlet, Samantha first met JR through mutual friends at age 18, and she was immediately dazzled by his maturity and kind demeanour.
"When I saw JR I was automatically drawn to how well presented he was and the fact that he was such a gentleman,” the Arkansas native said. "He was very well spoken whenever we met, and also when we would talk over the phone and text, he was just something I had never found in a man before.”
"I have dated men who have been closer to my age before, but they've been very immature and haven't known how to treat their partner,” the newlywed continued. “Being with JR is completely different — he's so mature and treats me like a queen, there's nothing that I would change about him or our relationship."
After celebrating their one-year wedding anniversary on Jan. 8, the couple now has their sights set on starting a family – and say that the timing couldn’t be better.
She hopes that publicly speaking out about her relationship will give nosey strangers the clarity they’re evidently searching for as to why the couple are together — and so in love.From fox news

ReplyDeleteReminds me of Anna Nicole Smith and that Marshall man she married because of his millions. Sad thing was, his Son fought her tooth and nail. Anna never got a dime of those millions till she died. The Man’s Son too is no more. I wonder if her daughter had been able to lay her hands on that money. Lots of dollars.
ReplyDeleteThis Man too must be rich. It is only the guarantee of a life of endless comfort that will make a gal this young to marry her ancestor.
May God give our Daughters and Sisters wisdom to make good decisions.
