I'm 24, He's 60 - And He Didn't 'Kidnap' Me | LOVE DON'T JUDGE

SEMIE, 24. and Claudio, 60, met on Seeking Arrangement six years ago and quickly hit it off, but their 36-year age gap initially caused a stir among family and friends. Claudio admitted to Truly: "My daughters told me, 'Dad, please don't women younger than us'." When it comes to online comments, the couple are often subjected to a slew of hate and judgement, with many accusing Semie of being a gold digger. Unfazed by the comments, Semie shrugged, "We're all gold diggers. No one is out there digging for pebbles." In this episode of Love Don't Judge, the pair meet with Semie's besties, Spence and Sam, who reveal how they really felt when the couple first got together. Reflecting, Semie said, "In age gap relationships you're always going to have judgers, but be unapologetically yourself and show them exactly why their judgement is wrong."

6 years, no ring, even though she clearly wants one. I hope she's smart enough to be saving up all that money for her future in the highkey likely scenario of him finding another 18yo

[lunamay]

Once she said they met on seeking arrangements I knew everything I needed to know lol!

[Snooty-Pookie]

He is stealing her youth, she’s stealing his money. Equivalent exchange. 😅

[skyedanniella]

I went to school with her! She’s a really nice/sweet girl. 🥰 she’s always been beautiful!!

[dynamicforce]

She’s asking for a ring and he ain’t giving it… nothing left to say here

[FlowerCarnival]

So they got together when she was 18 and he was 54 😬😬😬 nothing against age gap relationships but thats cutting it close 😭

[mayhewfisher]

these two seem like they are both fully aware of the dynamics of the relationship they have entered into, intelligent people with a good sense of humor, and while I feel for his daughters, I hope everything works out for them.

Him: They keep saying you’re using me sweet pea
Her: It’s okay we use each other 😂

[getrealreal]

She straight up said, we’re using each other. They both know the score.

[winxclubstellamusa]

She met him on a sugar baby website, so this was transactional from the very beginning. This isn’t a real relationship, but he doesn’t seem to mind that. And this age gap is TOO BIG for it to be healthy. This isn’t ok. All she is going is “getting the bag”.

[adrianyamato]

everyone be hating but they be having SO MUCH FUN TOGETHER

[WorldOfMellie]

Is he going to trade her in when she turns 30? Because he’s not giving her a ring. They don’t seem in love just both using each other which is fine as long as everybody’s clear.

[briannajerome]

Regardless of how this started this is one of my favorite couples on this series. I love their energy! I wish them nothing but love and happiness. ❤❤❤❤❤

[shethingsd]

How can you be tired of "dating losers" at 18? What was she doing? That is my biggest question. My second question was he said he was "happily married for 18 years." So what changed? He didn't say his wife died. I think I can guess. His wife got "old." Usually I like these couples, but the sugar daddy ones kind of annoy me.

[BlickyVicky]

Lmao, Seeking arrangements is a dating app to find a sugar daddy, for real.

[Eclectic]

They really do seem to love each other. I personally know a couple that are in a intergenerational marriage and they even have children together. They are a good family and really love each other. In our modern society we have been conditioned to think this is abnormal, but if you really take time to observe some of these relationships you realize that it is actually quite beautiful that people manys years apart in age can really love each other like that.

[sorthstudios]

Love is not everything. A relationship can be filled with love and still not be healthy.

[lflipsss]

They both know the score - she's a young body to fu*k and he's got money. It's an exchange of power - which is whatever - but, don't call this "love" because that's not what this is. I'm sure it isn't only just sex and money that keeps them in each other's company - but if she were disfigured in some way or he became bankrupt I'm sure this connection would fizzle out.

[CoolBreiz]

I follow her on IG and TikTok, I love her❤ glad to see y’all on here!
