A self-confessed “cougar” says trolls often mistake her for her partner’s mum - due to their 17 year age gap and claim he's after her money.
Tamela Stephey, 59, has been married to Zach, 42, a landscaper, since June 14, 2016, after meeting him four years earlier when he came to do some work on her pool.
Despite their age gap, Tamela says they have lots in common - like a love of mountain climbing and travelling - and the pair rarely argue.
But she says strangers often assume he’s with her for money - and they often get laughed at on the street.
Tamela's eldest child, Ray, 39, is just three years younger than his stepdad.
