00:00 COMM: This is 55-year-old Scott. He fell in love with 23-year-old Jessica.
00:07 SCOTT: I love you, babe.
00:09 JESSICA: I love you too.
00:10 COMM: With 30 years separating these two in age, there are plenty of people who haven't
00:15 responded well to their relationship.
00:17 JESSICA: I would say generally people are pretty uncomfortable with our relationship.
00:21 Wouldn't you say?
00:22 SCOTT: Yes, I would agree with that.
00:23 COMM: And their age gap wasn't the only concern Scott had on entering into the relationship.
00:28 SCOTT: My biggest concern was the fact that she was considerably younger than my daughter.
00:33 COMM: Not only that, but Jessica is hoping to have children of her own.
00:37 JESSICA: I was really worried because I want to have a family and Scott already has two kids.
00:42 SCOTT: She is completely fertile. I, however...
00:46 SCOTT: I used the wrong spray. This is for baking.
01:01 SCOTT: So how long have we been a couple? Let's see, we met on August 9th, 2016. That's
01:08 four years now. I met Jessica online when I was 50 going on 51 and you were how old?
01:16 JESSICA: 19.
01:17 SCOTT: Yes.
01:18 SCOTT: She messaged me first because her profile would have been invisible to me if she was
01:26 younger than my minimum age restriction.
01:29 JESSICA: I thought he was attractive. I usually like to date older guys because they know
01:34 what they want.
01:35 SCOTT: She just said, "Hey, what's up?" That was basically it. And I remember clicking
01:40 on the message and seeing her profile and thinking, "Wow, she's gorgeous." Then I
01:45 saw her age and then I freaked out.
01:48 SCOTT: Thanks for breakfast, babe. Enjoy that.
01:51 SCOTT: I'll never forget the first time you told me you loved me. You just blurted it
01:56 out. You just said, "I love you. I really love you." And I remember being a little,
02:01 "Whoa, she actually said it."
02:03 Being 30 years older than Jessica was a big concern for Scott, least of all because she
02:08 was a decade younger than his own children.
02:11 Initially, I had a lot of reservations about dating a girl this young. My biggest concern
02:17 was the fact that she was considerably younger than my daughter. My daughter is 32 now, almost
02:23 10 years older than you are. And of course, I was concerned about how others would think
02:27 about us together.
02:29 With such a large age gap, many have made the wrong assumptions about their pairing.
02:34 Typically, everyone thinks Scott is my dad. And I would say generally people are pretty
02:39 uncomfortable with our relationship, wouldn't you say?
02:43 Yes, I would agree with that. I also understand, honestly, if my daughter came home with somebody
02:50 30 years older, I would not be tickled pink, but I would like to think that I would accept
02:54 it.
02:55 Even those closest to Jessica have responded negatively to the relationship.
02:59 My friends weren't supportive. I think they had some judgment about it. So I'm just not
03:05 invited to things anymore.
03:07 However, despite the judgment the pair have received about their relationship, they refuse
03:12 to let it get in the way of their love for one another.
03:16 Scott and I got engaged last year in August 2019.
03:22 We had big plans. We were going to go back to Montreal where we got engaged. And of course,
03:27 all those plans were destroyed with COVID.
03:30 Yeah, we don't want to wait. We just want to get married.
03:33 This is my wedding dress. No one's seen the wedding dress yet, but me.
03:38 This is definitely the dress I want, just smaller. And I'm getting really excited for
03:42 the wedding. I have to show my parents this dress.
03:45 Hello?
03:47 Hello.
03:48 You guys are doing well?
03:49 Yes, doing very well. How about you?
03:52 I'm doing fine. Do you want to see the dress?
03:54 Yeah, I would love to.
03:55 Oh, do you need to see the dress?
03:57 Yeah, but it's a little big.
03:58 Alright, I'm ready.
03:59 Okay, here's the dress. This way, and then I'll flip it around.
04:05 Nice.
04:06 Alright, I'm ready.
04:07 Let me do it this way.
04:08 So my family took the relationship really well. He came to me and my dad, and my dad
04:13 loved him, surprisingly.
04:16 Yeah, I was really worried about my dad not liking Scott.
04:20 Who is your dad's age?
04:22 Yeah, well you're a year older than my dad.
04:25 So when Scott and I first met, I was really worried that we would not be in the same point
04:31 in our lives, because I want to have a family, and Scott already has two kids.
04:35 This, the little onesie, this is the first one we got. I gave it to her on her anniversary,
04:41 and this was kind of my way, it was a complete surprise, this was my way to kind of let her
04:46 know that I was ready.
04:48 So we are doing IVF. She is completely fertile. I, however, several years ago got a vasectomy.
04:56 I assumed that I was done with having kids. Fast forward five years, and here we are,
05:02 and I have since changed my mind.
05:04 So we're actually starting the IVF process the end of this month. Scott's already a great
05:09 dad. I think he's just going to be better than he was the first time. He's already been
05:13 through it.
05:14 I think Jessica will be a great mom.
05:16 I think most people who see us and don't know us assume that she's a gold digger.
05:26 That you're my sugar daddy.
05:28 Or I'm a sugar daddy. I mean, we can't spend our lives worrying about what everybody else thinks.
05:35 I love you, babe.
05:36 I love you, too.
05:37 I love you, too.
05:39 I love you.
05:40 I love you.
05:42 I love you.
05:44 I love you.
05:46 I love you.
05:48 I love you.
05:49 I love you.
05:50 I love you.
05:51 I love you.
05:52 I love you.
