JUNNELL, 43, met Giles, 24, through Instagram. Giles first approached him in 2018, when he was living in his home country of Belize, and Junnell was in the US. He explained, "The reason I slid into his DMs is that where I'm from in Belize, you can't just go out there and find somebody gay like how you are. So most of the stuff that I did was online." Junnell turned him away at the time, since Giles was too young for him, plus, he was already in a relationship. But then Giles moved to America in 2022, after he got his visa. The pair reconnected, fell in love, and got married in 2024. Online, the pair face homophobia when they post each other; trolls have said, "real men don't kiss each other", "what's this nonsense man-to-man just nonsense". Junnell is a successful businessman, owning three companies. His family was wary of the 19-year age-gap relationship, fearing that Giles was only with him for his money. "A lot of people were saying he was too young, that he was using me", Junnell said. His cousin, Antari, had his doubts. He explained, "I was like, who is this little boy? Gold Digger. I thought that he was trying to use my cousin for his money." In this episode of Love Don't Judge, the group sits down to discuss his doubts about the relationship.

00:00People think this is my homeboy, but we're really lovers.
00:02The age gap in our relationship is 19 years.
00:05People say all kinds of things.
00:07He's too young for me, he's using me.
00:11He's definitely robbing you of your you.
00:13Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve.
00:15Why even post this garbage?
00:18Three men don't kiss each other.
00:21You both should .
00:23Today my cousin will be here.
00:25He's extremely opinionated.
00:27He want me to be with a woman.
00:28You better tread carefully.
00:30I was like, who is this little boy?
00:32Go dicker.
00:34Man, you want to have fun on ATV?
00:35Let's do it.
00:36Let's go.
00:37All right, you know we'll beat you there.
00:40Hop on your horse.
00:41I'm Janelle, and this is Giles.
00:44And we are gym bros by day and hubbies by night.
00:48People think this is my dog, but this is really my lover.
00:51I'm 43, and I own three companies.
00:54I'm 24, and I'm a benefit consultant.
00:57I don't fit the criteria of what the average gay male looks like, and of course, my hubby
01:04doesn't either.
01:05People are definitely surprised to know that we're a couple.
01:09Let's go, baby.
01:10Let's go.
01:10Let's go.
01:11Let's go.
01:11So we first met years ago.
01:14It was 2018.
01:15He slid into my DMs.
01:17I was already with somebody, and he was too young.
01:20The reason I slid into his DMs is because where I'm from in Belize, you can't just go out there
01:25and find somebody gay like how you are.
01:28So I feel like most of the stuff that I did was online.
01:31And then in 2022, I got my visa, came to America.
01:36I slid into his DMs.
01:38I felt like now I'm in a place where I could actually see him and, you know, meet up with
01:43him.
01:44That, oh, I'm here.
01:45Let's link up.
01:47Finally.
01:47Babe, I'm ready.
01:48Are you ready?
01:49Yeah, I'm ready.
01:51Not like that.
01:52Hold on.
01:52Let me go pick you out something.
01:53We got married February 2024.
01:57The age gap in our relationship is 19 years.
02:00He's Gen Z.
02:01I'm millennial.
02:02People say all kinds of things, such as he's too young for me.
02:06I need to be with somebody at my own age.
02:09He's using me.
02:11We're going to log into one of our accounts and read some of the negative comments y'all
02:16be putting online.
02:17Your brain ain't even fully developed yet.
02:19Yikes.
02:19He's definitely robbing you of your you.
02:21The trips look nice though.
02:24The trips are nice.
02:26I know that's why you're hating.
02:27The trips are nice.
02:29What's this nonsense man to man?
02:31Just nonsense.
02:32Okay.
02:33That's your opinion.
02:34Girls are beautiful outside here.
02:37What is this?
02:38Yeah, we know.
02:39We know girls are beautiful.
02:40We never said they weren't.
02:42You both should .
02:44That's a little dark.
02:45That is dark.
02:46That energy is horrible.
02:47I'm a real happy and you sad.
02:49A miserable broke pit.
02:51His legs twisted and broke as F.
02:55Like they pockets.
02:57Well, I was born like that though.
02:58Bow-legged.
02:59They always want to have a reason to say something negative.
03:02Whose sons are these?
03:04Mama, where y'all at?
03:05We need to put a stop to this.
03:07Mama, I'm okay with me.
03:08Y'all need to worry about y'all moms.
03:10What y'all moms doing?
03:12He said, who call them men?
03:13These are boys.
03:15Real men don't kiss each other.
03:20Real men.
03:22Grown men.
03:23Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve.
03:25Why even post this garbage?
03:27Here we go with the Bible talk.
03:30Everybody's a pastor now.
03:31Right, when it fits them, when it comes to gays.
03:35Y'all only know the Bible when it comes to gays.
03:37We get comments online.
03:39I get more love than hate.
03:40We got one that says, let's start normalizing these type of gay relationships.
03:45Y'all one of the cutest couples in the world to me.
03:47Y'all still inspire me and show me that true love does exist in this cruel world.
03:52Love y'all with a whole bunch of hearts.
03:55I really like him for you.
03:57Y'all match well together.
03:59I'm from the Caribbean, and as you know, Caribbean folks don't play that thing.
04:04You know, that batimanting and all of that stuff.
04:07So, I recently came out, well, I was forced out of the closet in 2023,
04:12when I posted him and my close friends and somebody screenshotted it.
04:16When they posted it on Facebook, it just went crazy.
04:21People calling me slurs, unfriending me, unfollowing me.
04:25It was real bad.
04:26So, my friends and family reacted as shocked, surprised,
04:31because it was just on the simple fact that they didn't know him.
04:34He was a foreigner, and they don't know if he's using
04:38or if he's trying to come up with green card citizenship.
04:43He don't even know what I do for a living.
04:45He slid in my DMs years ago, living in Belize, so he didn't know anything.
04:49So, when they say something like that, I'm like, they don't know what they're talking about.
04:53So, my cousin and Tari, we've been close since almost birth.
04:58And my cousin was unsure.
05:00He want me to be with a woman.
05:01Back in the day, didn't your cousin try to force them girls on you?
05:04Yeah, he did force.
05:05When we first became a couple, my cousin kind of hated a little bit on it,
05:09telling me stuff like, you know, that's not right.
05:12Why don't you try out on one man?
05:14So, today, my cousin will be here, and he's extremely opinionated.
05:18He's not going to hold back on anything about how he felt.
05:20You better tread carefully.
05:22Remember back in college, even, no, it started in high school.
05:25You used to peer pressure me to have sex with girls.
05:28I actually lost my virginity because of you.
05:31You remember that?
05:33True story.
05:35I remember that night.
05:36I said, ooh, it was violent then because, I mean, I wanted the sister.
05:41When I found out that he was into guys, I couldn't understand.
05:45Like, a lot of women that he talked to and a lot of women that wanted to talk to him,
05:49they were beautiful women.
05:51And I just couldn't see somebody passing up on that to go towards a man.
05:56That was crazy, but do you remember how the family was acting
05:59when I said, I'm going to get married to a 22-year-old?
06:04Yeah, they didn't believe it.
06:05They was like, why is he marrying this little young boy?
06:08What you have to offer him?
06:10When he first introduced me to Giles, I was still like, who is this little boy?
06:15It was because, like I said, the age difference.
06:18Yes, go Dick.
06:20Basically, I thought that he was trying to use my cousin for his money.
06:23I think we didn't came around each other a few times then, so we was good.
06:28Like I said, I accepted everything, but they don't be around y'all like I am.
06:32Right.
06:33So they don't see everything that I see.
06:35The actual love stuff.
06:38I think the only biggest thing that everybody had towards you is your age.
06:42My age.
06:43But you wrong.
06:45I'm a grown man.
06:46Legal.
06:47Yeah.
06:48Fully legal.
06:48You know, the lifestyle you live, it didn't change the way I look on things.
06:54People are quick to judge, just like I did.
06:57And I judge by things from the past, things that I was raised on and I was taught.
07:04So now my mind is open.
07:07I have no issues.
07:08I understand them.
07:10What I love most about my partner is his outgoing spirit, his energy.
07:16What I love most about my partner, he loves to make money, always busy, no time for idleness,
07:22you know, and also his bow legs.
07:25Oh yeah, he love my bow legs.
07:26See, they hated on me online.
07:28I hate comments, but I'm between the bow legs.
07:31What I want to say to the people that's hating, please keep hating because we get so much love
07:36when they read the hate comments.
07:37So, the love always outweighs the hate.
07:40So I like it.
07:40I welcome it.
07:41Keep hating.
07:43Stay tuned.
07:45Go, go, give me a kiss.
07:46Come on.
07:47Give me a kiss.
08:02Come on.
08:03Give me that.
