A 77-year-old mother who wedded her 23-year-old toyboy hubby after meeting at her son’s burial is celebrating six years of marriage bliss.
Almeda and Gary Hardwick, both from Tennessee, met in 2015, when Almeda was 71 and Gary was merely 17. Before Almeda even spoke to Gary, she remembers feeling, ‘he was The One.’
Gary, who is younger than one of Almeda’s grandkids, previously characterized himself as “very mature for his age,” and stated that when he met Almeda, he had recently ended an unsatisfactory relationship with a 77-year-old woman.
The pair fought their detractors and celebrated six years of marriage by sharing a heartfelt montage of their life together on TikTok. They began meeting each other every night after that. They sought the approval of Gary’s mother Tammy, then 48, and grandma Carolyn, then 71.

Gary proposed to Almeda just two weeks after they began dating, and the pair married on October 26, 2015, when Gary was 18 years old. After marrying, the couple moved into Almeda’s house with one of her grandchildren, who is three years her senior.
Despite various setbacks, including Almeda’s heart attack, the pair is stronger than ever and admits that their sex life is still fantastic. Gary has now uploaded a video on their TikTok account that shows a photo montage of their lives each year for the past six years. He captioned the video, so many more amazing years to come.

The pair also has an OnlyFans account, and Gary frequently conducts photoshoots with Almeda, which he shares on their profile. Almeda previously stated that she didn’t have a lot of physical intimacy in her first marriage, despite the fact that it produced four children and six grandkids.
Almeda stated in a YouTube video of her previous relationship that she was married for 43 years and there wasn’t a lot of kissy, huggy stuff going on like no romance. Her present relationship is a roller coaster.
She continued that they are always complementing one another and kissing. They are having a good time together. She continued explaining that you know you don’t want to lose that sensation when you meet the ideal one.
Gary has posted over 300 videos on TikTok, many of which are about their love. Gary lip syncs love songs to his wife in his videos while leaning in slowly to kiss her on the lips.
Gary, in addition to his TikTok love songs, regularly posts love notes on his Instagram page. He frequently expresses in his descriptions that she is his world. He further adds he is the luckiest man in the world because of her. He wrote on Valentine’s Day that he rejoices in their love and thanks God for sending him his angel, his soulmate each and every day.

She is an incredible wife in every aspect. She constantly encourages him in all he does, she shows him unconditional love every day, and she always makes him laugh and smile. His darling, she is truly the finest. Thank you so much for everything. He will be eternally grateful to be her spouse.
The pair previously disclosed that they did not have sex until their wedding night, and both regarded the other as a ‘great lover.’
Gary says he never feels like he is missing out on anything because he is married to Almeda, He has never felt drawn to younger ladies.
He has always had an interest in older women, even when he was 13 or 14, and when he informed his grandmother, who raised him, he wasn’t sure how she would react, however she welcomed us.
