The couple launched an OnlyFans page to share their love moments
The couple has faced some criticism due to their age difference, but they have not let it affect their relationship.
Gary and Almeda continue to share their love story online, hoping to open people’s minds about age-gap relationships.
They believe that love knows no age and that their bond is special.
In 2020, they decided to take their relationship to another level by creating an OnlyFans page.
This platform allowed them to share explicit content with their subscribers.
However, their decision attracted attention, and some of their posts were removed from TikTok for being deemed sexually explicit.
Gary spoke about the challenges they faced with this content but remained proud of their choices.
“We had some of our content pulled down, it was reported for ‘sexually explicit content’,” Gary explained at the time.
