The couple, who come from Katy, Texas, ignores the negative judgments and focuses on their happiness.
Mickey admits that he is unsure how to respond when people assume Cherie is his mother, but he believes that their relationship is nobody else's business.
They simply want to be happy together, regardless of societal expectations or judgments.
Their love story began when they connected on Tinder in April of the previous year.
Cherie had recently lost her husband and decided to explore dating younger men. Mickey, who had always been attracted to older women, found an instant connection with Cherie.
They describe their first meeting as love at first sight, and since then, they have been inseparable.
Both Mickey's and Cherie's families have been supportive of their relationship.
At first, Mickey's mother had concerns, but over time she came to accept their age difference as she witnessed their happiness.
Cherie's family, including her son who is Mickey's age, has also welcomed their relationship and developed a friendship with him.
Even though people have misunderstandings about relationships with an age gap, Mickey and Cherie stay strong in their love.
They believe that their maturity and compatibility matter more than what society thinks.
Despite facing negativity online, they decide to pay no attention to it and concentrate on their own happiness.
The couple's age gap love story has attracted divided opinions on social media.
If this woman had a shred of dignity or self-respect she would end that nonsense. If that was my mom I would be beyond ashamed. How embarrassing for her, one user said.
People will judge. That’s just reality. It doesn’t matter though because a relationship is between 2 adults and at the end of the day if you’re both happy that’s what really matters, the second replied.
True love knows no boundaries, it’s their business not ours, someone wrote.
Good for both of you! If you are happy sod what the rest think! Another commented.
