A married couple with a 19 year age gap say they've been mistaken for father and daughter. Rich Foetu Tomkinson, 48, met Evie Foetu Tomkinson, 29, when she walked into the pub he was working at in July 2018.
Neither of them expected to end up in a relationship together because of their age gap, but they hit it off. By October 2018 they couldn’t deny how they felt about each other, and moved in together in February 2019, with Rich proposing in September 2019.
The couple tied the knot in July 2022 and they are now expecting a baby together - due in January 2023.
Although the couple have always had the support of their families they have been mistaken for father and daughter. "A woman asked if I was with my dad once," Evie said. "But it wasn't malicious and I think she was mortified when I told her it was my boyfriend."
Rich was shocked when he was introduced to Evie’s mum, Sarah Owen, 53, a councillor, and realised they had in fact met before while working on the same street as each other in the 90s - meaning he would have seen Evie as a baby when Sarah pushed her around in a pram.

Rich, a surveyor, from Stafford, Staffordshire, said: “It was a bit freaky when I realised I’d met Evie as a baby, but I had no idea at the time.
“We just laugh about it. Age is just a number to us, and you can’t help who you fall in love with. I’ve been mistaken for Evie’s dad before, but most people can see how well we click. The 19 year age gap doesn't bother us at all. Marrying Evie was the best day of my life and I’m so excited to have a baby with her.”
Evie, a social worker, said: “It was a bit odd when we worked out Rich had met me when I was a baby.

Tamzin Outhwaite addressed the 20-year age gap between herself and her boyfriend Tom Child as she discussed her relationship in a new interview.The 51 year old doesn’t find the age gap an issue and said she isn’t bothered by others who do, as she revealed the secret to her successful romance.Tamzin and Tom, 31, started dating after they met at a yoga treat in 2017 and she admitted she feels “sexier” with him, following her past relationship with her ex husband Tom Ellis.The actress spoke out in defence of her romance, as she said: “I get the odd strange comment, saying, ‘You look old enough to be his mother.’ Which makes me want to say, ‘Well, I am old enough to be his mother, but I’m not!’ “The age gap is not a thing in our relationship any more. We use it as comedy to make people laugh but we never have to discuss it," she told The Sun.Tamzin also shared the key secrets to her relationship’s success, adding: “I find exercising or walking around the house in your underwear gives you more motivation to keep looking after yourself, especially when it’s just Tom in the house.” The former EastEnders star opened up about constantly battling with her hormones in her marriage to ex Tom, with whom she shares two children, and confessed she “wasn't the best version of herself”, as spoke on The Mid-Point Podcast.
Demi Lovato has shared a new song, ’29’, in which the singer-songwriter appears to reflect on the age gap in the relationship between them and That ’70s Show actor Wilder Valderrama, who Lovato dated between 2010 and 2016.“Just five years a bleeder / Student and a teacher / Far from innocent / What the fuck’s consent? / Numbers told you not to / But that didn’t stop you,” Lovato sings on the new song, the third single from her forthcoming album ‘Holy Fvck’.“Finally 29 / Funny, just like you were at the time / Thought it was a teenage dream, just a fantasy / But was it yours or was it mine? / 17 / 29,” the singer continues on the song.Though Lovato doesn’t expressly name Valderrama, and has not confirmed that that’s who the song is about, there was a 12-year-age gap between the couple when they started dating in 2010 – when Lovato was 18, and Valderrama was 29.Elsewhere in the song, Lovato appears to reference the age gap between Valderrama and his current partner, Amanda Pachecho, who is 12 years younger than him, singing: “I see you’re quite the collector / Yeah you’re twelve years her elder / Maybe now it doesn’t matter / But I know fucking better.”Discussing the new single while speaking to Apple Music 1’s Zane Lowe, Lovato said that recently turning 29 – the age Valderrama was when the pair started dating – was a “huge eye opener” that had “put things into perspective” for the singer.“I would be lying if I said I didn’t have a ton of anxiety about putting out this song. I just said, ‘I have to go for this.
