A couple with a 32 year age gap have defended their relationship by saying that “love doesn’t count years”.
Nebojša Kundačina and Marija have been together since 2017.
The 63-year-old actor and his model wife, 31, say they “immediately felt a crush” after connecting over a play.

Marija studied acting while at a university and she was asked to write a seminar paper about plays that she had watched.
The model had witnessed several performances which involved Nebojša and she felt inspired by his work.
She wanted to ask him some questions about his acting and so approached him after one of his performances at a theatre.
They arranged to speak with each other on the phone the following day.
Nebojša was surprised that someone would watch his plays so closely – let alone write a seminar paper about them.
“We immediately felt a crush on each other,” the actor told local press.
“Everything between us has been somehow romantic from the beginning and exactly as it should be.
“It’s wonderful when two people find each other and recognise each other.
“When it’s the right person, then everything happens easily, without any strategies or plans.”
The couple, who are from Stolac, a city in Bosnia and Herzegovina, married on 24 January 2019, less than two years after first meeting, as reported by Need To Know.
And despite their age gap, they say they have a lot of similarities.
Marija often shares loved up snaps of the two of them with her 18,400 Instagram followers.
Nebojša added: “The wedding came about somehow spontaneously.
“We have a lot of the same interests, in acting, and music.
“We read a lot, but mostly related to acting, we share a similar feeling for good things.
“Love doesn’t count years.”
