Viral TikToks claiming woman married her babysitter have been debunked as fake

A woman left much of the internet in shock after revealing she's married a man who used to be her babysitter.

However, it appears many millions have been taken for a mug.

As long as both are at the legal age of consent, there really is no rule book for this complicated thing known as a relationship.

However, the bigger age gap relationships certainly make more headlines, just ask the model who had to come out and defend herself for dating a man 39 years her senior.

Now, a woman who goes by the name off Samantha Gizzle claimed she'd married a man who is 15 years younger than her.

It is not the age gap that has shocked much of the internet though, but instead the fact that the man used to be the woman's babysitter.

Taking to her TikTok account (@gsamantha1994), Samantha posted a video of her new herself and her apparent new hubby, Johnathan, on the big day itself, adding that she is 29 and he is 44.

She then posted a photo of her now husband as her 19-year-old babysitter when she was just four.

In the caption to the video, this Samantha said: "You were the best babysitter ever. I’m glad we could look past аge and take this new chapter in our life, together.

"You make me so happy, make me smile, make me laugh, and this makes me unconditionally love you more & more.. and I hope the best for us and our future family to come."

"When WE were young? girl more like when YOU were young oml," one person said.

Meanwhile, an X, formerly known as Twitter user, penned: "HOW do you post this and think it’s cute and wholesome."

Well, it appears the viral TikTok is fake after all, thanks to a comment posted to Reddit.

The Redditor penned: "It's rage bait. The photos are of random people lifted from Google. The second picture is stolen from this blog.

"As you can see from the blog post, that's actually a father and daughter. The guy doesn't even look 19."

The link the Redditor provided does indeed show a picture from a 2012 blogpost, with the caption: "My dad and I, looking super 90s."
