I will be somewhat interested to see if they carry this (whatever this is) on on the outside. I wouldn't have thought so though, they literally live in 2 different worlds. Whatever you think of it though, one thing is for absolute certain, nobody in their wildest dreams predicted their "friendship"

…just a by the by and not connected but I don’t know if you watched Chris’ Love Island season….but the interest in his bromance with Kem was a huge focus of the show and maybe even took on a more interesting aspect than the romantic partnership which he had, it created huge popularity for both him and Kem with the public…obviously they even did TV work together afterwards as a partnership as well…

My husband & I are a month apart, but I regard significant differences in marriage as pretty normal. I would say 10 years is a high average here. It most depends on when the partners met, I think. If they meet their partner while younger, it's more likely it'll be closer in age gap. Sometimes dating someone in a different generation makes sense when life becomes slower and a mature relationship is really decided. Some don't want to be married to a peer where everyone is still in the state of mind of figuring everything out. They just want a proper partner without that being the focus. Sometimes a matching of maturity levels is more natural across an age gap. My peer group up until maybe 5-6 years ago maybe were still single, some living at home and definitely not settling down. We had left home at 20 by comparison to our peers and we weren't emulating that process. It was financially difficult, but we were fully independent. If what was available amongst my peers were my options when looking to settle, I would opt older for sure. For me marriage is based around having a strong respect level and loving the other for being their unique person and age is just one small factor in that. I do not want to compete with a partner, which I feel some did in my generation at a much younger age.

Anyway back to Chris & Jojo, I don't care about their age differences. Chris is pure cringe on his own so much that without even having known what his age ever was, I never tied his behavior with it...

Americans are not really closed-minded about age gaps on average, but I can see some areas of the US being more sensitive culturally. It's just it's not at all a common concern or common debate that I've seen... so that's all I can add to that, I think.

To clarify, it's not the age gap it's the age of the younger person. There would be no issue if she was 31 and he was 42 which is the same age gap. It's the fact that she was still in school a couple of years ago. 21 is too young for a bloke in his 30's. That is my opinion and it ain't changing, no matter how many people insist it's fine.

What the actual fck

No one wants or needs your approval on this or any other opinion you may hold

Do you actually think people care what you think and are desperate to change your mind

Reality check
You are just some bloke in Scotland who used to work in a betting shop
The end.

Wish we could go back to the days when Jo Jo would have been called a tomboy

She better not ask PM Starmer?

I think his brother on the side show thing saying "He is genuine he has loads of friendships like this" is actually very telling. If he has "loads" of "super special" relationships, then NONE of them are special.

Could be special in many many different ways. As in, each friendship is different, but just as special as the others.

He said Chris is "the same" with lots of people as what we've seen on the show, it was a whole back to be fair, probably before the thigh rubbing etc. started.
