A woman who demands her partner takes her on three dates a week insists she’s no gold digger – despite him being more than three decades older.
Gigi, 31, met car garage owner Tim, 62, at her local gym and said she couldn’t believe how “fit and handsome” he looked.
The couple, from Bristol, have strict relationship “rules” to keep their romance alive – including a must-do date night routine.
“We have been on 350 dates so far and go three times a week,” Gigi, a content creator with over 33,000 followers, told Need To Know.
“We absolutely love dining out and exploring new cuisines together.
“I think we’ve been to just about every restaurant in Bristol by now!
“Sundays are usually reserved for a traditional Sunday roast, but our go-to favourites are often sushi and Japanese cuisine, although Tim does have a soft spot for steak.
“Not every outing is fine dining; sometimes it’s more casual.
“ We even go to cinema and theme parks.
“For us it’s really about enjoying the experience together.
“We usually go out every weekend and once during the week, with the occasional trip to London or other cities to keep things exciting.
“And Tim always takes care of the costs and that’s something I really love and admire about him.
“For me, it’s not about our age difference, it’s about the energy a man brings into the relationship.
“I’ve always believed that a man providing in that way is a natural expression of masculine energy, and it makes me feel cared for and cherished.
“He’s such a traditional man and that’s one of the many reasons I feel so connected to him.
“We have also been on five holidays together, with our first holiday in Mauritius.”
And Gigi doesn’t care what people have to say about it.
She said: “People can call me a gold digger as much as they want but I honestly don’t care.
“As soon as people find out my partner is 62 and I’m 31 they all assume it is for money or that I’m a gold digger.
“But they can’t see that my man looks incredible for his age, regardless of money.
“The reality is I’m happy and content – they [the critics] are the sad jealous ones.
“Happy people won’t hate, confident people won’t hate.
“It’s always the sad, miserable people with no profile photo trolling [us] online.
“They call us names but they’re just losers.”
The pair met in July 2024 in the swimming pool of their local gym.
Gigi said of their first meeting: “We met while swimming in the gym pool and I was so excited to go on a date with him.
“We went the next day and it was the best first date ever.
“He then told me he had been divorced for over 20 years and has two children – one son and one daughter of similar age to me.”
Rather than run a mile, Gigi threw herself into the romance and their mutual interests have kept them going steady for the past year, as well as her attraction to older men.
She said: “We have a lot in common.
“We are both into health and fitness, love travelling and love going out, as well as just being crazy and adventurous.
“This is my most loving perfect relationship ever.
“I was married for eight years – I wed at 21 years old, divorced at 29 and met Tim at 30.
“I’d never had a long dating life as most of my 20s I was married.
“Unfortunately it didn’t work out with my ex-husband – and even he was 11 years older than me.
“I have always been attracted to older men.
“Tim is 31 years older than me and I’ve never been happier.”
Despite the criticism they have faced as a result of their age gap, the pair insist their families are fully supportive.
Gigi said: “His family are really nice, I have met them many times.
“I really like his children, they are fine with me and Tim is also a grandad.
“His friends all know about me and know how obsessed I am with him.
“My parents are happy that I’m happy and love Tim.”
Gigi, originally from Iran but now living in Bristol, says she and Tim want their relationship to inspire others.
She added: “Life doesn’t end at 40.
“If you look after yourself, have a healthy lifestyle and do fitness at any age then you can enjoy life.
“Tim is so fit and healthy and wants to date someone a lot younger, and what’s wrong with that?
“We are both grown adults, we like each other, we enjoy each other’s company and want to make memories.
“I love to embrace our love story – he is the love of my life and I can’t wait to share many more years with him.”
