A WOMAN has revealed that she is in an age gap relationship with a man who is 27 years older than her.

Sass, 27, from London, is dating her 54-year-old boyfriend, who she calls her “silver fox.”

The self-proclaimed “spoiled girlfriend” lives a luxury lifestyle with skiing trips to Vail Village, Colorado, designer bags, posh hotel stays and delicious meals out.

But now, the content creator has found herself on the receiving end of a barrage of abuse from mean trolls who have criticised her relationship dynamic.

Not only were keyboard warriors “disgusted” by the age gap, but others told her to choose “self-respect over money.” 

It came after Sass took to social media to show off her age gap relationship, leaving many open-mouthed.

Alongside a gorgeous picture of Sass and her partner before an evening out, she confirmed that while she was born in 1997, her man was welcomed into the world much earlier, in 1970. 

But Sass, who “doesn’t date younger”, was eager to set the record straight on her relationship, as she wrote: “If you know us as individuals, us as a couple makes sense. 

“Those we know in real life understand, are supportive and happy for us.”

Not only this, but she claimed that her man is “highly educated, emotionally intelligent, financially secure”, has “a great personality and is hot.”

As a result, she confirmed: “I’m happy as Larry.”

The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @sweetheartsass, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 136,800 views, 4,372 likes and 391 comments. 

But social media users were totally divided by Sass’ relationship – while some accused her of doing “anything for money”, others were supportive. 

One person said: “Lol my dad was born in 1977 and me in 1994. If they’re old enough to be your parent, it’s not right, sorry.” 

Anything for money and a lifestyle I guess

But to this, Sass eagerly clapped back and snapped: “I literally do not care about you and your dad. Go away.” 

Another slammed: “Self respect over money!” 

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

1. Kris Jenner & Corey Gamble – 25 years
   The Kardashian matriarch, 69, met her younger man, 44, 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, 57, and actor, 34, 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, 37, started dating actor Jason, 57, 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
   Catherine, 55, was introduced to Michael, 80, a film festival in 1996 and engaged three years later. Shortly after their engagement, the couple welcomed a son and married in 2000.

And a third commented: “Anything for money and a lifestyle I guess.” 

But at the same time, one user said: “Why are people disgusted with this? It’s not for them so why is it your issue? Not every relationship is a design to fit the usual expectations.” 

According to the comments I’ve committed a crime

A second chimed in: “I love this! She’s well looked after and if you look at their videos they look really happy. As women all we want is security and love and that’s what she’s getting regardless of the age gap!” 

Meanwhile, someone else gushed: “As long as you’re happy, it doesn’t matter what the person looks like, how old they are or who they are. Love is Love.” 

In response to the rude remarks, clearly unbothered, Sass later laughed: “According to the comments I’ve committed a crime.”

B&Q’s Artificial Grass Wall Panels – decorated with dahlia roses and hydrangeas – are the perfect choice if you want to spice up your garden or bring some warm colours into your indoor living spaces.

And at just £9.75, they’re an absolute bargain.

Each panel measures 40x60cm and contains a number of flowers tied to a grate.

The products, sold and shipped by Garden Sanctuary, aren’t stocked in B&Q stores but you can order them online.

This comes just days after shoppers raced to B&Q stores to grab the perfect budget friendly product to elevate their gardens and add instant privacy to their outdoor space.

There’s nothing worse than sitting outside with a glass of wine and a good book, only to realise that your nosy neighbour is peeking at you over the fence.

Putting up a large fence around your garden may seem like the obvious choice to keep away prying eyes, but this can be expensive – and can sometimes lead to disagreements with neighbours.

Paul CEO of plants and perennials specialists J. Parker’s revealed that one stylish way of creating privacy in your garden is by planting ornamental grasses.

He said: “Grasses can be used easily to create internal screens or hedges that flower beautifully, move in the slightest breeze, and need little care during the summer months.

“I recommend silvergrass or pampas grass to not only conceal your garden, but to introduce interesting textures.

“Their fast growth rate makes ornamental grasses ideal for privacy hedges because new plants can rapidly fill in any gaps.”

B&Q’s Stipa Pony Tails Ornamental Grass is currently priced at £10.49, making it a perfect solution for penny pinchers.

The height of the plant when you purchase it will be 30-45cm, but ornamental grass can grow up to three metres tall.

The plant is low maintenance, so won’t cause you any stress, plus its feathery plumes will elevate the look of your garden into a stylish haven.

Additionally, B&Q slashed the price of an ornament – that helps your patio seem bigger – to just £11 last week.

The Ornamental Prunus Incisa “Kojo-no-Mai” Fuji Cherry Tree is available for just £10.79.

Usually referred to as the cherry tree, this plant has a compact, rounded shape and a gently spreading habit.

This makes it suitable for planting in small gardens or areas with limited space.

Garden designer Karen McClure explained that adding plants to your patio space would help it to seem bigger.

“Use ornamental feature trees,” she advised anyone struggling with limited outdoor space.

“Multi-stem specimens in particular can be kept to a controlled height in a large feature pot, and can create a lovely focal point as well as give interest at a higher level. Be bold.”

She added that the number of plant varieties should be kept to a minimum.

“Too many varieties can create a busy and chaotic feel, whereas a simple planting palette will feel harmonised, soothing, and calm,” she said.

Q) At the age of 53, I’ve taken up painting, and I think I’m pretty good.

I mainly paint landscapes, and would like to see if I could make some money out of selling art.

My dream would be to retire early and live off the proceeds of my paintings before drawing my pension, though I don’t know how doable that is.

My biggest problem is that I don’t know where to start with selling paintings.

I use a computer for my office job, but I’m not very technically minded and I realise I need to create a website if I want to get my artwork seen.

But what else do I need to think about?

Pamela, via email

A) It’s fantastic that you’ve discovered a real passion for painting, and even better that you’re dreaming big and thinking about turning it into something profitable.

Don’t worry about jumping into building a website just yet – there are easier, more approachable ways to get your art seen.

Start small – take some good photos of your work (make sure you use natural light) and open an Instagram account.

The platform is free, simple to use and a great way to test the waters and see what reaction your paintings get.

I’d also suggest joining local art groups on Facebook, as I’ve seen so many people connect, sell their work and get advice that way.

Platforms like Artfinder and Etsy are also worth looking into, plus don’t underestimate the value of a local craft market to get face-to-face feedback and build your confidence.

Most importantly, make sure you sign your work and keep a log of each piece.

Finally, try to speak to other artists whenever and wherever you can – people are often more helpful than you might expect.
