I was on Tinder and I put the age range in right away. People are shocked by our age difference.

A COUPLE with a 22-year age gap tell how they finally met.

Sav and Mars have been together for five years now. They met when Sav was 20 and he was 42.

But the huge age difference didn’t deter them. Sav even said she deliberately went looking for an older man.

Sav explained how they met: “We met on Tinder. I had my settings turned up as high as they could go.

“I was looking for my New Zealand Robert Downey Jr.”

After initially striking up a conversation on the dating app, they moved to Facebook, where they kept in touch on and off for nine months.

Sav says the couple didn’t plan on meeting in real life, but fate had other plans for them.

One night she decided to go clubbing with her friends, something she rarely does.

While she was there, her friend nudged her and let her know that there was a man who kept watching her.

To Sav’s surprise it was Mars and the couple danced the night away before heading to the next bar.

After that Sav couldn’t go home anymore and stayed with Mars. Like a true gentleman she was allowed to sleep in the bed, while he stayed on the couch.

The next morning she kissed Mars on the lips and knew immediately that she had to be with him.

“My whole body was like, this is your person,” she explained

“Like, you have to pursue this. And I’ve never had that before.”

A year later they were officially married and five years later they are still together.

Sav added: “And we’re as happy as can be. And we hope you’re happy for us. It may not be for everyone, but this is just how the cookie crumbles.”

The clip was posted on their YouTube account @SavMars was a hit with fans with over 30,000 views.

Many people responded to the comments and shared their thoughts, with some even claiming that they thought her partner was actually her father.

Someone wrote: “You and your dad are so cute.”

Another commented: “Awh, that’s a beautiful story. How did all your family and friends react? Great video.”

“I was really confused at first I thought you guys met in the hospital because he’s your dad… but he’s not your dad,” wrote a third.

Meanwhile, a fourth said: “SO CUTE.”

“You guys are so cuteclaimed a fifth.

Someone else added: “You guys look amazing together!!!”
