Rachel Allen, 48, is dating Alex Michael, 25, despite judgment and family disapproval. However, she believes, “Our love is worth it.”

They met on a dating app after Rachel’s divorce. She hadn’t adjusted the age settings, leading her to Alex, who was “curious about dating older women.”

Rachel was surprised when Alex sent her a kind message. They began talking daily and quickly formed a deep connection.

Despite challenges, they remain happy. “We don’t let others’ opinions affect our bond,” Rachel said.
