A teen has proposed to his pensioner girlfriend and hit back at trolls who criticise their relationship.
Giuseppe D'Anna, 19, caused a stir on Tik Tok after sharing a video of him popping the question to his 76-year-old partner.
The young lad, who boasts 191,000 followers on the video app, posted a compilation of the couple's romantic journey on Tuesday, with one image showing his proposal.
He is pictured on one knee with his girlfriend holding a bunch of heart-shaped balloons as the couple share a passionate kiss, the Mirror reports.
The clip has racked up more than 138,500 views and is captioned ''La nostra promessa'. In English, this translates to ''our promise''.
The compilation of images also features a selfie of the pair and a photo of Giuseppe wearing what appeared to be a gold chain and his bride-to-be holding a rose.
Guiseppe also shared an image of the ring with which he proposed.
In spite of the trolls’ reactions, he captioned this: ''And this is only the beginning of a long series”.
The post left many people speculating about why Giuseppe may be with the older woman.
Some comments on his TikTok content suggested some thought he was chasing her will, with one person commenting: “Oh she rich...We all know what he in it for”.
Another person was convinced he wanted a Sony PlayStation 5.
And someone else did some maths and wrote: ''She is literally old enough to be his great great grandmother.''
Giuseppe's fiancée has also been called his grandma on several occasions.
But the teen was insistent their relationship was real, hitting back at commenters to say: ''My love is beautiful [heart emoji]''.
The couple has also managed to gain some supportive fans, with one TikTok user commenting: “Y’all quit being mean.
“They actually look adorable and for being 76 or 74 she looks so much younger…”
