00:00It's hard for me, it really is.
00:02If I had it to do over again, I probably would not do it.
00:10We met back in 2011, 2012.
00:16He was a hardscaper building stuff outside of my house.
00:20And we just started talking and he pursued me
00:24and it just went from there.
00:26We ended up getting together and going out to eat.
00:29And decided that we liked each other.
00:31He has two kids.
00:33I believe we started dating in April.
00:36And then he moved in with me in January.
00:40And we just hit it off.
00:42With the age difference, I did not marry him right away.
00:46We dated for probably four or five years.
00:49And then we were married in St. Lucia.
00:52And we've been married for seven years.
00:54My kids are older, so I really kept fighting it
00:57and my kids kept telling me that it was a bad idea.
01:00They did not like Zach.
01:02Where now they absolutely love and adore him
01:04because he does everything for them.
01:06He's basically stepped in and is that dad role model.
01:09We got really ridiculed and stuff when we went out.
01:12I don't know why I'm getting emotional over this.
01:16When we would go out to places,
01:18people would point and say things.
01:20We went on a cruise once and I noticed a girl
01:24following us around, but I didn't really know why.
01:27And I saw the girl standing up on this platform
01:29and she was like, oh my gosh, that's her.
01:31Right there, that's her.
01:34And so I got eye contact with her and her friend's like,
01:36well, what do you think the age difference is?
01:38And she's like, oh, I bet it's at least 10 years.
01:40I bet it's at least 10 years.
01:42Zach looks younger than 42
01:44and hopefully I look younger than 59.
01:48My kids don't think that there's that big
01:50of an age difference looking at us,
01:52but obviously there is or people wouldn't say anything.
01:55I don't think he really copes with it.
01:57I just don't think it bothers him
01:58or he cares where I cry a lot.
02:00It hurts.
02:01All of my friends and family, they're fine with him now.
02:05I mean, we've been together for 12 years, married for seven.
02:09So they know that it's not an overnight thing.
02:11They know he's not after money.
02:13They know that he's not just hanging out to
02:16take care of himself and his kids
02:18because he actually contributes to everything.
02:20But outside people don't know that about us.
02:24It's hard for me.
02:25It really is.
02:27At times, if I had it to do over again,
02:29I probably would not do it if I know what I know now.
02:33And that's sad because I've never been happier.
