Married for almost two years, the massive age gap is not a problem in their life, but it seems that it’s frowned upon by many, including members of their family. Almeda's son hasn’t spoken to her since the relationship started, and her grandchildren are also battling to accept the relationship.
The pair met at a local pizza restaurant, got married two weeks later, and haven't looked back.
Speaking to Barcroft TV on the show Extreme Love, Gary said that he knew it was love at first sight, so he didn't waste any time popping the big question.
There was no doubt that she was the one. A lot of people wait years to get married, and everyone has different opinions on getting married quickly. But we knew we were in love so we jumped on that.
