A bride who was branded a ‘paedophile’ for sharing wedding photos with her much younger-looking wife has revealed she is pregnant with triplets.
Lauren Evans, 31, was subjected to a barrage of online abuse after marrying 29-year-old Hannah Kaye.
The Surrey-based influencer tied the knot with her wife in September after initially meeting her on Tinder and dating for two years.
But after Lauren shared professional photos of the special day online, she was falsely accused of being a pedophile by hundreds of Instagram users for ‘marrying someone so young’ – despite only having a two-year age gap.
Lauren said, “Some people thought it was cute that my 10-year-old son walked down the aisle with me. Others thought it was disgusting that I was kissing a young boy.”
But two days ago, Lauren shared an exciting update that she was pregnant with triplets.
She posted a video of an ultrasound to her 24,000 followers on Instagram with the caption: “The Triplets.” One of the hashtags she included was #ivfsuccess.

The couple had previously revealed that they had flown to Northern Cyprus to undergo egg retrieval surgery as part of their efforts to have children.
In a follow-up post last night, Lauren said it was a “bittersweet day” after previously experiencing pregnancy sadness.
Alongside a message about a pregnancy test, she wrote: ‘Today is a bittersweet day, it breaks my heart every year that passes and all the milestones missed with my daughter Amelia.
‘She will certainly never be forgotten – but what scares me now is that I am pregnant and blessed with three beautiful babies growing inside me who have the same condition that took the life of my baby Amelia. It brought back so many flashbacks and bad memories, but all we can do is hope.
“I’m thinking of everyone who lost a baby today.”
It comes after the couple were bombarded with vile comments about their relationship, including: ‘I thought she married a child’, ‘Why does he look like a 13-year-old boy?’ and ‘Is he old enough to get married?’
Lauren – who made headlines in August after spending thousands of pounds on cosmetic surgery in Turkey to look younger, including £3,400 on a new smile and £2,000 on a stomach abdomino – said her wife’s youthful appearance was down to is up to ‘luck’.
She explained: ‘I have paid thousands of pounds to look younger and change my body and appearance, but my wife is just lucky in that she has incredible genes.
‘She’s two years younger – I won’t be arrested. Hannah is a harsh one, but the comments offend me and they are incredibly hurtful.
“People think they have the right to call me a predator or a pedophile and that disgusts me.”
Lauren added: ‘The amount of abuse we’ve received is just ridiculous.’
Hannah, a specialist engineer, explains that she has always looked young for her age, and despite being almost 30, is still asked to show ID in bars and supermarkets.

Hannah revealed the comments have even upset family members, who have been described as ‘very protective’ of the couple
Mean comments from the trolls include: ‘I thought she married a child’, ‘Why does he look like a 13 year old boy?’ and ‘Is he old enough to get married?’
She said: ‘The negativity exploded when we uploaded our wedding photos. But even before that, any photo of us together would trigger nasty reactions because I look younger.”
Hannah explained that she must carry identification at all times and is often asked to provide valid proof of age when purchasing lottery tickets and energy drinks.
She continues: ‘We recently went on holiday to Spain and had to show my passport and holiday booking to get an adult wristband.’
Hannah revealed the comments have even upset family members, who are described as ‘very protective’ of the couple.
She added: ‘Everyone has their opinion about my appearance, I grew up with everyone having an opinion about me and what I look like. I just don’t acknowledge any comments; I just block them out.”
Looking to their future, the couple is now undergoing IVF treatment, hoping to welcome their first child together soon
Lauren believes the couple had the last laugh, as she added: ‘Strangers online can say whatever they want but we’ve never been happier’
Hannah insisted she had “heard them all before” and there was little point in dealing with the trolls because they are “close-minded.”
