Meet the couple with a 16-year-age gap that constantly get mistaken for father and daughter but are proving their haters wrong after celebrating almost 13 years together.

Ashley Miller, 34, met her now-husband, Jim, 51, at the bar he owned after her best friend convinced her to come and ‘eye up the hot bartender’ she fancied.

The pair were instantly attracted to each other, despite Ashley only being 21 at the time, and they started dating when Jim plucked up the courage to ask her out on a date in October 2009 – a year after they met.

After falling for each other, the couple found out they were expecting their first child together in June 2012 and welcomed their daughter, Sunny, nine, in February 2013.

The lovebirds married in November 2013 in Las Vegas, US, and had their son, Lukas, four, in November 2017.

Jim is often mistaken for the children’s grandad and Ashley’s dad but the family laugh it off.

Ashely, a part time waitress, from Saint Louis, Missouri, US, said: “It was a bit weird when people thought Jim was my dad, but I have always looked younger.

“Now we have a family together people think he is their grandad but it’s never malicious and we just laugh it off.

“He’s healthy and we joke that I’ll be the one to go first not him as I have already had more health problems.

“Age is just a number and we’ve proved our love can last.”
