When 28-year-old Brianna Hoffman met Craig, a charming 50-year-old customer at her workplace, she never imagined he’d become the love of her life. Now engaged, the couple share a two-year-old son — and they’re already planning for another baby.
“I’ve always liked older men,” Brianna said softly. “They’re calmer, more sure of themselves, and they know how to listen.” Though her fiancé is 22 years older — even older than her mom — she says their bond feels “healthier and happier” than any relationship she’s ever had.
Her family was surprised at first, especially her mother. “She wondered what his intentions were,” Brianna admitted. “But now, they’re great friends. My dad didn’t judge — his wife is 12 years younger than him!”
There are funny moments too. “He doesn’t always get my jokes from TikTok,” she laughed. “But he keeps me grounded, and I keep him young.”
When critics claim Craig “stole her youth,” Brianna just smiles. “He didn’t take it — I gave him a reason to live it again.”
Love, she says, doesn’t come with an expiration date. “He thought he’d be retired by now. Instead, he’s building snowmen with our son — and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
