Young woman, 24, who almost married a man her age TWICE shares the ‘traumatic’ way her mother found out they were together: ‘There was a secret nanny camera’
- Sav, 24, and Mark, 46, who go by @savandmark on TikTok, will be married in 2021
- They met on Tinder before entering an exclusive relationship nine months later
- All of their parents are very accepting of their relationship with a 22 year age difference
- But Sav’s mom found out when she saw them on a secret nanny cam
A couple living in Australia have opened the veil on their relationship with a 22-year age difference after they tied the knot last year.
Sav, 24, and Mark, 46, passing by @savandmark on TikTok and living in Sydney, got married in 2021 after meeting on the Tinder dating app.
Sav openly admits that she’s always wanted to date “older” men and her Tinder age was set to “up to 55” so she could attract someone in the highest age range.
“There is a misconception that older men just want to hang out with younger women and they ‘control’ them, but there are two people in this relationship and I make decisions with him,” she said on TikTok.

The happy couple moved in together two years after they met and pride themselves on being good communicators who share their hopes, wants and needs.
While their friends and family have all accepted their relationship with the age difference, there was a period of learning on both sides.
“I met Mark’s mom around the same time I met Mark. Christine and I became good friends pretty quickly. She and I went to art shows together and had breakfast and lunch,” Sav said in a recent YouTube video.
“She used to say, ‘I think there’s a huge spark between you and Mark,’ but at the same time she said I was a little too cool for him and that I should definitely think about other people.”
“But it wasn’t until later that we really got together.”

Surprisingly, Sav’s father immediately accepted their bond
Mark added: ‘She was pretty chill about the whole thing. She saw a kindred spirit in Sav, both have an overwhelming love for art.’
Surprisingly, Sav’s father immediately accepted their bond.
“My dad worked across the street from the apartment buildings where Mark lived. And one day I left around 7 am and I ran into my dad,” she said.
“We went to get some coffee and I told him I was dating a man who lived in this apartment. He asked how old he was and I said “oh he’s 40”. And he said “oh great, how is he?”‘
But things weren’t so easy for Mark’s mother-in-law, who watched them “do the deed” on a secret nanny cam.

‘How my mother found out… I stayed at her house for a few weeks and she went away for the weekend. I invited Mark. Then I get a call from my mother who immediately says “who is that man in my house?” So he packed his things and left pretty quickly.
“It was a bit of a rough start [being discovered on a nanny cam] but after a while she saw how happy we were and got past the trauma of seeing us together.”
“They all came to our wedding and they’re happy that we’re together, so everyone should be too.”
Many of Mark and Sav’s TikTok followers applaud the couple for navigating the waters of an age gap relationship together, with many saying that Mark looks much younger than he actually is.
