18-year-old influencer defends relationship with 60-year-old man after people called them out
The 18-year-old started going out with her 60-year-old boyfriend two years ago.
A TikToker has hit back at trolls who've criticised the 42-year age gap she has with her boyfriend.
With Leonardo DiCaprio constantly hitting headlines for only dating women below the age of 25, the conversation around age gaps in relationships clearly isn't going away anytime soon.
And one person who's feeling the heat online is TikToker Keisha Louise.

Louise and Dimitrios Fotis began dating in 2022 and the 18-year-old uses her TikTok page to give followers an insight into her relationship with her 60-year-old boyfriend.
Videos consist of the pair training at the gym together, cuddling on the sofa, posing in different outfits and enjoying vacations.
Louise has faced intense scrutiny from some social media users who've criticised the age gap and questioned her intentions with Fotis.
One TikToker said: "Good luck changing his nappy when you’re 30."
"This is really now money can buy happiness," a second.
And another added: "What's she om."
On 31 December, the Tiktoker even said she'd be taking a step back from social media because there is 'only so much [she] can take as a person'.
"I will still come live and say hello now and again. But this has taught me not to be so kind and not let people in. I will tag my backup account for you all. Once again to the good ones. Thankyou," she added.
Although other users have rushed to defend Louise, her relationship and offer words of support.
A user said: "This is the cutest this is true love age is just a number people need to stop being so quick to judge if your happy girl your happy."
"As long as ur both happy ignore what anyone else has to say that’s negative, this is adorable you both look so happy xx," another added.
A third commented: "Don’t listen to the haters . If he treats you good that’s all that matters xx."
Louise has since responded to the comments which continue to swirl about her relationship with an older man.
She replied to one comment noting: "This man has showed me love like no over and treated me like I should be treated. two years and I’ve never felt so secure."
In another comment she echoed: "I’ve never felt love or appreciation as much as I have with this man. Two years and still love him like the day I met him."
Louise resolved: "Happy is an understatement! Age is irrelevant it’s about what’s in the heart."
