I’m 23 and marrying a man twice my age – people say it’s messed up but I’m actually the mature one

The 23-year-old fitness model has hit back at cruel trolls who describe her relationship with a man “twice her age” as “spoiled”.

US Amira Rajab is engaged to fitness trainer Bryce Wood, 44, but denies the huge age difference is a red flag for their relationship.

In fact, the young blonde claims that she is actually the “adult” in their relationship – and when they met “many years ago”, neither of them knew the other’s age.

The couple had been engaged since July last year when Amira was just 21 years old.

Bryce constantly shows his support for Amira online by posting photos of her and commenting on her fitness competition photos.
