A woman says the 27-year age gap with her husband makes him a 'better dad' - despite strangers mistaking him for their baby's grandad. Gretchen Dillon, 36, had preferred to date women before she locked eyes on Michael Dillon, 63, in her local supermarket in October 2014.
Striking up a friendship, the pair soon realised their romantic feelings for each other and started dating in May 2015. Despite the almost three-decade age difference, Gretchen couldn't deny how she felt for Michael and the pair married in February 2018 and have now welcomed a son together - Shannon, six months.
Gretchen, a market research analyst, said: "People often mistake my husband for my dad - but we laugh it off. Their perceptions quickly change when they get to know Michael and I - they can see we just make sense.
