Meet the couple with a 16-year-age gap that constantly get mistaken for father and daughter but are proving their haters wrong after celebrating almost 13 years together. Ashley Miller, 34, met her now-husband, Jim, 51, at the bar he owned after her best friend convinced her to come and ‘eye up the hot bartender’ she fancied. The pair were instantly attracted to each other, despite Ashley only being 21 at the time, and they started dating when Jim plucked up the courage to ask her out on a date in October 2009 – a year after they met. After falling for each other, the couple found out they were expecting their first child together in June 2012 and welcomed their daughter, Sunny, nine, in February 2013. The lovebirds married in November 2013 in Las Vegas, US, and had their son, Lukas, four, in November 2017. Jim is often mistaken for the children’s grandad and Ashley’s dad but the family laugh it off. Ashely, a part time waitress, from Saint Louis, Missouri, US, said: “It was a bit weird when people thought Jim was my dad, but I have always looked younger. “Now we have a family together people think he is their grandad but it’s never malicious and we just laugh it off. “We couldn’t deny we were attracted to each other as soon as we met. “We just laugh together every day. “We’re on the same level of maturity so it works perfectly.” Jim, a tree surgeon, said: I thought Ashley was beautiful from the first time I saw her. I think she’s even more beautiful now honestly. "Our relationship has been challenging but rewarding, especially after we had children. "I don’t mind or at least I’m offended when people mistake me for her Dad or our kids grandpa. Neither happens that often. "My family, meaning Ashley and the kids are my everything."
