Woman who ‘looks 15’ says strangers think her boyfriend, 54, is her GRANDPA
IT WAS love at first sight — with a 27-year age difference.
Although people mistake Robert Owen Sr. as Ava Olszewska's grandfather or father, they are actually a couple in .
“We had an unusually comfortable chemistry with each other right of the bat, it was as if we had known each other forever,” 54-year-old Owen said.
Owen is married to 27-year-old Olszewska, who is originally from .
The couple met through a Facebook post in March 2018 as Olszewska was looking for people to feature for her job at an online magazine.
After weeks of speaking, Owen traveled from to where Olszewska lived. She was a single mother at the time.
Upon their first meeting, the two fell in love — even though Owen is double Olszewska's age.
For them, the 27-year age difference was never a question — although other people have different perceptions of the couple’s relationship.
“People who do not know us, like to judge us. I am four-foot-nine tall and I am twenty-seven years old. I look fifteen. So from people's point of view I am underage and I am dating a grandpa or father,” Olszewska said.
“Age is just a number, it has never been a problem for me. It's not the age that counts, it's the heart and the mind of your significant other that should play a major role,” Olszewska said.
Within a month of meeting, Owen moved 200 miles to live with Olszewska in . He had recently divorced his wife, whom he had a child with.
“It's the most perfect relationship I've ever been in. Sure, we have our little fights, just like everybody, but it doesn't stop me from loving Robert,” Olszewska said.
Although they face judgement from others, the couple encourage people to not judge.
“I realise that people have a tendency to mock what they don't understand, but the greatest advice would be that if the people look happy, why is it necessary to question why they are happy,” Owen said.
“Age is just a number, the mind, body and soul connect with those they are meant to connect,” Owen added.

Olszewska said her mother also had a problem with the age difference at first, but that changed with time — especially after the couple welcomed a child together last year, named Kodi.
“At first my mother did not like the fact of me being with Robert. She got used to it, and she is very happy for us now,” Olszewska said.
They plan to live together in Chicago while Owen finishes law school. Olszewska will finish raising the kids until her husband retires, then he will take over and be home full time.
