A Reddit user wrote: “Less about her and mostly about him.
“I could almost ignore the age gap until seeing that she’s always with him now and doesn’t seem to have a job after quitting […] her [hostess] job.
“The power imbalance is uncomfortable to think about. If he’s not planning on settling down with her then he’s being irresponsible towards her.”
Another Redditor commented: “Listen, it truly doesn’t matter how cool someone seems. They all go for the young Insta models if given the chance.”
