'My hubby is the same age as my mum - we're 24 years apart and expecting a baby'

A woman called off her wedding with her childhood sweetheart to find love with a man 24 years her senior - the same age as her mum - and now they're expecting a baby. Amanda Cannon, 30, had a strong "gut feeling" she couldn't be with her ex and called off their wedding - just days before it was set to go ahead

Amanda embarked on a journey of single self-discovery and ended up falling in "love at first sight" with Ace, 54, a radio DJ, in summer 2017. Despite Ace vowing to never marry again, the lovers tied the knot in January 2021 and the couple are expecting a baby boy - due in June this year. Ace - who is dad to two children, the Payton, 21, and Cade, 20, from a previous marriage - isn't phased about being an 'older' dad.
