An Australian couple with a 35-year age gap defends the huge age gap against trolls who believe 22-year-old model Brightnye Quayle is "only in it for the money."
The former Miss NZ finalist met the love of her life, 57-year-old beau, James, last summer during a drunken night out a casino.
In a TikTok video, Brightnye - who is originally from Christchurch, New Zealand - revealed that she went on a spending spree and bought 9 sandwiches to quench her insatiable appetite.
James was smitten by her confidence and decided to strike up a conversation, in fact, he even managed to snag one of her sandwiches for himself. And well the rest they say is history.
The pair now live together in Queensland, Australia, and spend much of their time posting age gap-related content on their joint TikTok account.
They have been called a father-daughter duo many times when they are out in public places.

In a recent video, James opened up about the hate the couple has received due to the age difference.
James said: "Well, the comments are interesting - lots of love. So thank you for everyone who is mature enough to understand. But there are a lot of comments about money - she's only in it for the money."
He went on to say: "I was married for 30 years. Bought my wife a Maserati, paid for everything. What is the difference? Of course, every relationship - certainly traditional relationships, where the man looks after the woman - of course, you're going to spend money. It's just not an issue and not relevant."
In another video, James asked Brightnye what her mother thinks about their relationship, to which she responded: "She's coming over to live with us for a week, so we're going to find out."
The two then revealed that Brightnye's mother would be taking part in a TikTok Live with them, where she would be revealing what she really thinks of their age difference.

"I'd best be on my best behavior then," James tells his girlfriend, with her adding: "My sister will definitely go on the Live as well." James then goes on to reveal that he's feeling "petrified" about Live.
So far the comments on their videos have received mixed responses with many supporting the couple while others implying that she's only with him for the lavish lifestyle she gets in return.
