Woman, 21, dates man despite 20-year age gap – and is now pals with his daughter

A step mum and her fiancé’s daughter are best mates – and they’re only one year apart in age.

Iyah Gill, 21, fell head over heels for her partner, Rafal Kubus, 43, after meeting him in a sports bar in Chicago, US.

The pair didn’t realise they were generations apart until they’d been on a few dates and found a spark.

They were also unaware that Iyah is just a year older than her stockbroker boyfriend’s daughter Selene, 20.

Rafal said: “I knew she was younger than me, but as she was at a bar I thought she was at least 21.”

It was only when Rafal came around for Easter lunch at Iyah's family home that the couple found out each other’s ages – when Iyah’s 47-year-old mum, Shaunta Piamonte, let it slip that her daughter was just 19.

Despite their initial shock, they decided to stay together and have since got engaged.

Rafal admitted: “It took me a minute to process. But it didn’t matter I knew she was special.”

And Iyah said: “I’ve always liked older guys, maybe not quite 41 though.

"But we already had a bond so it would be silly to then call it off just because of our age.”

Iyah and Selene are now best pals after travelling and living in different states together.

Iyah, an influencer, from Sierra Vista, Arizona, US, said: “Knowing Rafal had a daughter close in age wasn’t ever that strange to me – and meeting her as been amazing.

“We get on great and she is so sweet.

"It's probably because we are so close in age that we get on so well – we have lots in common like shopping and we both like the outdoors.

“We do lots of girly things together- like get our hair nails done”

Selene is equally pleased about how the friendship blossomed.

She said: “It’s never bothered my knowing my dad was dating someone so close to me in age.

“People always think it should, but I’m just happy for my dad and Iyah is becoming a great friend.”

Rafal said: "It's great that they both get along.

"I'm happy that they can relate when it comes to shopping and asking each other opinions on clothes.

"There's only so many times I can say 'you look adorable.'"

The couple are smitten with each other but admit there have been some hurdles in their relationship.

Iyah’s step-dad, Chris Piamonte, didn’t speak to Rafal for a few weeks after finding out his age.

But after seeing the pair together, he changed his mind about the age gap.

Iyah explained: “He suddenly came round once he realised how great we are together. Now my family love him.”

The couple refuse to let any negative comments hold them back.

Rafal added: “People have said ‘I might as well date my own daughter’ and things like that but we’re happy so we ignore it.”
