The young woman said that trolls always ask her, “Why are you with someone who is 26 years older than you?”
Danielle then claimed that haters can think whatever they want, as she simply said, “Judge whatever you want.”
Along with the short clip, the content creator added a viral audio of Kim Kardashian saying, “Because it’s iconic and I love doing iconic things.”
Despite the criticism she regularly receives for being in a relationship with an older man, the housewife is regularly seen waxing lyrical about her husband.
Danielle previously explained: “There is a unique beauty to our relationship.
“When you’re struggling with an age difference and what to do, but you know they’re the one, take that “Take a step and don’t look back.”
She also often calls her husband “handsome,” adding that she is “stunned” by how young he looks for a man in his 50s.
In addition, her motto is: “Let them judge, but don’t let them hold you back.”
