Jackie, who was born in the Philippines, and Dave met on an online dating site in 2016 when Dave – who lives in the US – was visiting Cebu. It was Dave who made the first move by asking his wife-to-be if she wanted to have coffee with him, to which she agreed. They have been married for over three years now. Jackie, who was born in the Philippines, and Dave met on an online dating site in 2016 when Dave – who lives in the US – was visiting Cebu “Jackie and I first met through a website called Cherryblossoms. I was in Cebu Philippines at the time I was using this site and noticed Jackie’s profile,” Dave said in a recent TikTok video they shared. “I sent her a message and said I liked her profile and was interested in meeting her.” Jackie continued: “I gave him my phone number and the next day we met at Starbucks and he gave me a chocolate chip cookie. Then we went to Jollibee’s for lunch.’ “Jackie was a bit shy at the time and was tired after working the graveyard shift at work, so at that lunch I ended up doing 95 per cent of the talking,” added Dave. “You could feel there was enough of a connection there to want to meet again. So Jackie and I got together a few more times before returning to the US. The pair regularly face harsh criticism over their significant age difference, with some calling Jackie a ‘gold digger’ who is ‘only in it for the money’. “That was the start of a wonderful relationship that is still going strong.” The couple regularly face harsh criticism for their significant age difference, with some calling Jackie a “gold digger” who is “only in it for the money”. But that doesn’t sway the chicks who said in another video: “So there’s a 42-year age difference. She’s 27 and I’m 69 and for us it doesn’t make a bit of difference.” Their videos together have earned them 32,000 followers on TikTok, with everything from their hikes and dancing skills documented.

Diving instructor and model Brightnye Quayle, 22, has been dating James, 57, for 14 months after the pair met on a night out at a casino. Brightnye, who was born in Christchurch, New Zealand, but now lives with James in Queensland, decided to buy nine sandwiches at the bar that night, which piqued the interest of her now older boyfriend. “We actually met quite organically at the casino. I was the girl who bought nine sandwiches because it seemed like the right thing to do at the time,” Brightnye said on their shared TikTok account @agegap50.

Brightnye, who was born in Christchurch, New Zealand, but now lives with James in Queensland, decided to buy nine sandwiches at the bar that night, which piqued the interest of her now older boyfriend. “He came up behind me and said I should come and talk to him, so I did.” James added: “I thought anyone who bought nine sandwiches was either starving or needed to be spoken to.” James was married for 30 years before meeting Britney and has four daughters who share mixed feelings about their father’s new relationship. “Two of them are fine, one is sitting on the fence and the other would like to kill you with a pitchfork, which is not very nice. But we don’t mind, we’re in love,” James said. Brightnye confirmed that her mother was going to stay with them for a week at the end of August so they would know how she felt at the time. The loved-up couple began making videos on social media to explain their partnership on August 3, quickly gaining a huge fan following.

A lot of it is about money, it’s ridiculous. I was married to my wife for 30 years, I bought her a Maserati, I paid for everything… what’s the difference?’ James added. “Any relationship, certainly traditional relationships where the man takes care of the woman, of course you’re going to spend money, that’s not an issue. And not relevant.’ Brightnye teased, “And we’re going to go get me a Porche.” Many of their commenters refer to James as her “grandpa” or “daddy” and question whether Britney is only in a relationship “for the money.” On August 17, Brightnye took to TikTok once again to say that the couple was taking a three-month break from TikTok because an “exciting” opportunity had come up that required their full attention. Many of her fans wondered if the couple had been approached for a TV series, but they won’t have answers to their questions until the end of the year. “We’ll be back after the three-month break, it’s a secret. We will share details with you when we return,” he said.
