Almeda and Gary Hardwick, despite the haters, are still in a happy relationship. Even though there is over 50 years between them, they get along great. They decided to talk more about their relationship on social media, which caused quite a stir.

Some of their confessions in the form of recordings have been deleted. Internet users reported materials, marking them as inappropriate. However, this does not stop those in love.

Is age just a number? "Almeda is young at heart"

Today, Gary is 26 years old, and his wife is 80. The marriage is still going strong and they continue to share snippets of their daily life online. "We have gone through ups and downs together, which we always overcame. Looking back, it really only made us stronger," the man claims.

"Almeda is young at heart, age doesn't bother us. We never really think about it. I only know that God answered my prayers the day she came into my life" - continued the 26-year-old.

In 2021, the couple went through the coronavirus together. During the quarantine, they also didn't get bored with each other's company.

Almeda recently celebrated her 80th birthday. Her husband didn't forget to send her wishes on Instagram as well.

"Best wishes to the most wonderful wife in the world (...). Every day you make me the happiest man, and I want you to always be the happiest woman (...). You are the love of my life" - we read in the post.

On his wife's birthday, Gary prepared a romantic dinner. There was also a cake and gifts.
