I'm twice my man's age, we met through my sons, folk call me a desperate cougar but he's on a mission to get me pregnant
A WOMAN has hit back at trolls who claim she is a 'desperate cougar' and 'groomer' for marrying her sons' friend.
Tanya, 44, met her now husband Josue, 26, when he was just 19 as he was her sons' close friend.

But the pair soon began to develop feelings for each other after breaking up with their significant others.
Tanya told Love Don't Judge: "We met through my oldest two sons, people always judge our relationship.
"'This is lowkey giving cougar desperation vibes,' 'Is that your mum?' 'She had to pay him to stay,' they call me a groomer."
Josue admitted that he fancied Tanya as soon as he saw her.
He revealed: "The first thing that came to my mind was 'She's hot.'"
But it wasn't the same for Tanya, who found him 'loud and annoying' at first.
A year after breaking up with their previous partners, the pair began dating but it was a rocky start.
Josue said his emotional immaturity got in the way as he acted 'toxic' and would check through her phone.
While Tanya is already a mum-of-four, Josue has no children and plans to get his wife pregnant.
"She's twice my age and I want to get her pregnant," he said adamantly.

How one poly couple make it work while raising teenage sons
Josue said his relationship with her sons was still the same and they regularly hang out.
"I don't tell him what to do I don't mummy him," he added.
For those who troll the couple over the age gap, Tanya has one thing to say.
"When we got together, he was 21 and I was 38, at 21 years old you're able to drink alcohol, you're able to gamble, you're able to go to war for your country why are you not able to love who you want?" she asked.

Marnie Simpson insists she has 'no regrets' over stripping off on OnlyFans and vows to continue while she's 'young' as she fires back at mum-shamers
has insisted that she has 'no regrets' over stripping off on OnlyFans as she fired back at mum-shamers. The Georgie Shore star, 33, who is currently pregnant with her third child, joined the adult subscription website back in 2022 and has since thrilled fans with an array of sizzling lingerie snaps - which she's told is not 'explicit', but 'applied nudity.' And in a new interview, Marnie told how she has no plans to stop showcasing her figure and will continue to do so while she's 'young' as she praised the 'empowering' platform. Marnie went on to note that while she's used to criticism following her years of starring on the controversial MTV show, she remarked that 'no one should have the right to judge others' when it comes to their choices in life. Speaking to The Sun about her decision to share racy photos on the X-rated social media platform, Marnie said she has 'no regrets', explaining: 'While I'm young, I'm going to embrace my body and I'm really proud of my body. Then why not.. I feel empowered by embracing it.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop Following her explicit and drunken antics on Geordie Shore, Marnie told how she's been 'judged and mum-shamed' over the years, but she feels the tide is changing when it comes to adult content creation. She said: 'I honestly feel the stigma and taboo is already breaking down. As the years go by, it's becoming more normalised. So many girls and women and ladies are just having that choice for themselves and I think it's really empowering.' She added that adult content creation is a 'normal thing now' with less 'stigma' than in the past, with the stunner going on to insist that in the current climate, no one should be passing judgement on others for choosing to strip off. Marnie shared: 'I definitely like where it's going because no one should have the right to judge others, there shouldn't really be a stigma around it because not everyone is doing the same thing on there - it's each to their own.' Meanwhile, while she's proud of her OnlyFans career, the reality star also said she doesn't 'live with regret' amid her past antics on Geordie Shore, which she starred in on and off between 2013 to 2025. She told that with the way the world is currently, she doesn't feel that her TV past needs to be 'a conversation' when her children grow older, revealing she has a 'very open and honest' relationship with her family. In February, Marnie opened up about how she plans to talk to her children about her career on the X-rated social media platform, OnlyFans. The beauty is expecting her third child with husband Casey Johnson. The couple already share two sons, Rox, five, and Oax, two. She told new magazine: 'All I'm trying to do is create an amazing life for my family and myself. I've raised my children to be good people, not to judge, and to always be supportive. 'I don't think it'll even need to be a discussion - they know me inside out. Plus, I did much worse on Geordie Shore!' When asked about the type of content she shares on the adult platform, the reality star clarified: 'I'm not classed as an explicit account - it's more applied nudity.' It comes after Marnie announced her pregnancy with a black-and-white video featuring her ultrasound and touching moments of her children cradling her bump. Fans were shocked by the news, as Marnie had previously insisted she wouldn't have a third child due to her past difficult pregnancies. When pregnant with her second child, she stated: 'I would not go to three. I think you've got to find the balance for yourselves. 'We want to enjoy our lives as well. We've not waited too long to have kids and I feel like having two, we can give them the best life possible.' Casey and Marnie first became an item in June 2017 after they appeared on the reality show, Single AF together. The couple tied the knot in 2023.
