Couple mistaken for mother and son thanks to 29-year age gap are getting married

A couple who are mistaken as mum and son due to their 29-year age gap claim it was 'love at first sight' - and they got engaged just six months after meeting. Luke Ellis and Steff White started chatting online last June and clicked from day dot but when they met in the flesh two days later and hugged, the 'deal was done' and they started dating.

The 25-year-old said he was drawn to 54-year-old Steff's wholesome, down to earth and loving personality while his cheeky charm, old fashioned values and chivalrous nature got her heart racing. The mum-of-four even admitted that she thought she'd 'won the lottery' when the published model rocked up to their first date.

The coach driver, who described Steff as the 'love of his life', fell so head over heels that he popped the question just six months after first setting sights on one another. Despite having the support of family and friends, Luke claims their relationship has had a mixed response given perplexed strangers flash them dodgy looks in public and they've even been asked 'what do the neighbours think?'.
