I was 18 when I started dating my man – he was 44 and nasty trolls thought he was my ‘dad’, but I like my men older

A WOMAN who’s been trolled for dating a guy 26 years her senior has hit back at the haters.

Myla del Rey, now 26, met her dad’s best friend, now 52, when she was just 18 and he was already 44, and the pair immediately hit it off.

The two have been slammed for their ‘disturbing’ age gap relationship

Although not much is known about their past relationship, the duo regularly share content on Instagram, whether that’s camping or fishing trips.

For Myla del Rey, who describes herself as a ”small town girl” from Minnesota, US, the 26-year age gap between her and her man hasn’t come without its criticism.

The young woman, who ditched her social worker degree to become a content creator, is regularly targeted by keyboard warriors who slam their relationship.

Not only have trolls dubbed it ”disturbing”, but her 52-year-old Romeo is old enough to be her ”dad”, with many mistaking the partner for her parent.

”Gross, but legal,” said one person under a recent video.

Whilst the racy content star hasn’t revealed about how much she makes online, some critics have also speculated that she is with the bloke for his cash.

”Must have a lot of money,” another chimed in.

”Oof this isn’t cute or a flex lmao,” penned someone else who thought this was nothing worth boasting about.

Luckily for the loved-up pair, who’ve won close to a staggering 180k fans on the platform, there’s also been heaps of support.

Age is nothing but a number: you do you! If you are happy, that’s all that matters!” a kind-hearted social media user said.

”Y’all are a beautiful couple,” someone else added.

”Live your best life and don’t worry about what others say,” a third reminded.

Myla, too, has hit back at the haters, explaining she didn’t get why everyone was so disturbed by their loving relationship.

Sharing a wholesome snap of the two, the young woman said: ”Honestly, I’ve never understood why age gaps seem to bother people so much.

”When you vibe with someone, who cares about the numbers?”

A-list age gap relationships that have stood the test of time

  1. Kris Jenner & Corey Gamble – 25 years
    The Kardashian matriarch met her younger man at a mutual friend’s 40th birthday party in Ibiza. They’ve been together since August 2014.
  2. Sam & Aaron Taylor-Johnson – 23 years
    The director and actor reportedly met at a film audition in 2009, and were married by 2012. The pair share two daughters and Sam has two children from a previous marriage.
  3. Rosie-Huntington-Whiteley & Jason Statham – 20 years
    The model started dating actor Jason in 2010. They were wed in 2016 and have since welcomed a son and a daughter together.
  4. Catherine Zeta-Jones & Michael Douglas – 25 years
    The pair was introduced at a film festival in 1996 and engaged three years later. Shortly after their engagement, the couple welcomed a son and married in 2000.

In Myla’s opinion, ”life’s too short to overthink something that feels so natural”’ and as long as she’s happy ”that’s what really matters at the end of the day”.

Smiling next to her Romeo, with both posing by a river, the content creator explained she had always had a type – blokes her senior.

”Personally, I don’t even ‘feel’ the 26 year age gap between us but y’all already know: I’ve already been into older men.”

Beauty lovers rave over new Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk dupe at Home Bargains which is £36 cheaper than the real thing

CHARLOTTE Tilbury fans may be able to save some money as a dupe for one of their hero products has been spotted in Home Bargains.

Beauty lovers spotted that the budget retailer is selling a lip kit for £2.99 that looks remarkable to Charlotte’s £39 alternative.

Home Bargains is selling a £2.99 lip kit which some shoppers say reminds them on Charlotte Tilbury’s Pillow Talk lip set[/caption]

Charlotte’s Pillow Talk products have caused a stir in recent years – and so the make-up guru saw the opportunity to bring out a “lip makeup kit”.

Included in the limited-edition set is a full-size hydrating lipstick balm and travel-size lip liner, matte lipstick and lip gloss.

While it is sure to be a staple for die-hard Charlotte Tilbury fans – the Home Bargains kit may be a little easier on the bank account.

Not only is it £36 cheaper, but it also has very similar pink and gold packaging.

The Kissable Lip Essentials Set also includes four products – a shimmer lip gloss, a lip gloss, lip liner and lipstick – and is described as being the “perfect gift and stocking filler this Christmas.”

The Home Bargains website states: “Handbag ready lip essentials in classic lip shades.”

The purse-friendly product was shared on TikTok by the @newdupes account.

The video racked up over 1,700 likes, and people seemed keen to snap it up. 

B&M is also selling a dupe for Charlotte Tilbury products.

Fans have spotted they have an all-new Face Facts Enchanting Radiance set for £5.99. 

This three-piece gift box contains a “wonder cream”, “weightless” setting spray and liquid blush, all of which are Charlotte Tilbury dupes

They are dupes for Charlotte’s iconic Magic Cream, Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray and Pillow Talk Matte Beauty Blush Wand.

The B&M buys work out at £1.99 a product.

By comparison, the luxury versions cost £79 for 50ml, £32 for 100ml and £30 respectively. 

According to the Charlotte Tilbury website, one of their Pillow Talk lipsticks is sold every two minutes.

Meanwhile, one of their Pillow Talk products is sold every 10 seconds globally.

Best beauty dupes

Fabulous' Beauty Editor, Tara Ledden revealed the cheaper version of your favourite beauty products that you should have in your cupboard.

“A huge 55% of us would like to spend less on our beauty routines according to new research from E.l.f. Cosmetics, so it’s no wonder there’s millions of #dupe videos on Tiktok.

“While some dupes are easy to spot given their look-a-like packing, they’re often lacking when it comes to the contents.

“In fact, some of the best dupes look nothing like the luxury product they’re a dead-ringer for – and, trust me, they’re the ones you want.”

REAL: Benefit Hoola Matte Bronzer, £32.50 DUPE: Natural Collection Bronzer, £3.50 which is a saving of £29. The Natural Collection Bronzer comes in more shades, although it doesn’t have a mirror in the compact. 

REAL: Milk Make-up Hydro-Grip Primer, £35 DUPE: E.l.f. Power Grip Primer, £10. These two share a similar green hue, as well as the same long-wearing, mattifying properties – although, E.l.f’s is so popular it’s just as hard to get hold of. 

REAL: Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Lipstick, £28 DUPE: L’Oreal Paris Color Riche Satin Lipstick Beige A Nu, £8.99. The shades of these two lipsticks are virtually identical on the lips, although while Charlotte Tilbury’s is matte, the L’Oreal Paris Lipstick has a satin finish – which actually makes it more comfortable if you’re wearing all day. 

REAL: Estée Lauder Double Wear Foundation, £40 DUPE: Collection Lasting Perfection Matte Foundation, £6.99. While they don’t look alike from the outside, the formula, consistency and staying power of both foundations is pretty similar – unfortunately, the Collection only comes in 20 shades vs Estee Lauder’s 60 options. 

REAL: Glossier Boy Brow, £20 DUPE: Essence Make Me Brow Gel, £2.50. There’s a whole Reddit thread dedicated to this dupe, so you know it’s got to be good. They both have a waxy consistency and added fibres to make brows look fuller. I have to say, the shade range is far better with Boy Brow, but if you’re brunette, there’s plenty of Essence shade options to try.

‘Well worth the money’ M&S fans rave over ‘gorgeous’ jumper that gets them ‘compliments’ – & it’s ‘sumptuously soft’ too

THE TEMPERATURES are slowly but surely dropping which means it’s time to ditch our T-shirts for more cosy knitwear.

But if you’re still on the lookout for that perfect jumper to keep yourself cosy this autumn and winter, then it’s worth planning a trip to the local Marks & Spencer.

The popular high street retailer has wowed its fans with some gorgeous pieces recently, such as their dupe of a posh £350 designer bag and bloat-friendly trousers selling for an affordable £17.50.

And their most recent addition to the ever-growing range – Argyle Crew Neck Jumper With Wool – is no exception.

Featuring a classic argyle design in gorgeous pale blue and orange stitches against a brown background, this wardrobe essential is available in sizes from XS to XL.

Priced at £35, the must-have jumper is tipped to be a seasonal favourite, especially as it’s so versatile.

The styling options are indeed endless but we reckon that pairing the buy with both jeans or skirts and some sturdy boots is sure to make you the ultimate fashionista.

Boasting a chic crew neck and long sleeves, the jumper is the perfect addition to any cold weather outfit and will keep you toasty – yet stylish.

Need more convincing to snap it up before the jumper sells out?

On the website, the £35 bargain find has received glowing praise, with an impressive 4.1-star rating.

A satisfied customer described it as a ”winter staple”, commenting: “Gorgeous style, lovely fit, feels nice. Love this jumper.”

Another delighted shopper remarked: ”Gorgeous on-trend jumper.

”I love this. It’ll be perfect with jeans and a denim skirt and tan boots when the weather gets a bit nippy.”

“I absolutely love it,” exclaimed a third purchaser.

Recommending the ”sumptuously soft” buy another wrote: ”Saw this reviewed in a number of magazines as one to buy this autumn.

”It’s better quality than I was expecting for the price and the colour way is lovely.”

The jumper, which has been said to get the fashionistas ”lots of compliments”, is ”well worth the money” – so it’s best to head to the nearest branch now to avoid any disappointment.

The high-street favourite recently sent fans int a frenzy with their  ‘’stunning’’ Ganni dress dupe that’s £175 cheaper than original.
