VIRAL: 19-YEAR-OLD ITALIAN PROPOSES TO HIS 76-YEAR-OLD ‘SOULMATE’
- 2 years ago
An Italian teen has gone viral on TikTok after proposing to a woman many have mistaken for his grandmother.
They say that at this day and age, true love is hard to get by. In this fast-paced world, a lot has jumped from a relationship to another, as quickly as they change clothes. Some would say that the “hookup culture” is very prevalent for this generation, but that doesn’t seem the case for one 19 year-old teen from Italy. Age ain’t nothing but a number.
Giuseppe D’Anna, a 19 year-old teen from Italy admitted that he is now engaged with his 76 year-old “soulmate”. Via the popular video-sharing app, Tiktok, D’Anna posted a video showing asking his partner her hand for marriage. The heartfelt proposal swept the Internet and the Tiktok video has now more than 78.5 million views.
A video montage was posted as a Tiktok by D’Anna showing him and his now-fiancée (who he chose not to reveal her name yet to the public) sweet moments they shared. The montage included a photo of D’Anna kneeling in front of his partner while both were kissing, indicating that it was the moment the latter said “yes”. The video also included pictures of lavish gifts, including the presumably wedding ring, with a large diamond on it. The teen, who was born in 2003, is subsequently seen smooching his gray-haired fiancée, born in 1946, who appears overjoyed by the proposal.
D’Anna captioned the video “la nostra promessa” which translates to “our promise”. Along with the caption is a green heart and the infinity symbol.
D’Anna also wrote, “This is only the beginning of a long relationship,” accompanied by a montage of photos of the couple.
However great the news was, netizens all over Tiktok had mixed reactions regarding the news. Some commended the 19 year-old teen with his bravery declaring his love for someone much older than him, others have mentioned that the young man may have not been thinking things clearly and just infatuated. Some even said that it was all just a publicity stunt, that the account used “shock value” to gain likes and increase their following and some viewers believed that the mature lady is actually D’Anna’s grandmother and that the proposal was nothing more than a prank.
But D’Anna seems determined to prove the authenticity of their relationship, sharing more loved-up posts in the days following his proposal.
“Siamo anime gemelle,” the teen wrote beneath one clip, or “We are soul mates.”
Prior to the proposal, Giuseppe D’Anna uses his Tiktok account by posting videos of him and his partner sharing sweet moments, doing Tiktok trends, eating food together, sharing quality time, and news clips where they were featured in local Italian news. The account has now 403.2k followers and a total of 13.3 million likes.
