I was called a paedophile after sharing my wedding photos – but my wife is only two years younger than me

A bride has shared how she was relentlessly trolled online and falsely labelled a paedophile after sharing photographs of her wedding day with her much younger looking wife.  Lauren Evens, 31, from Surrey, married Hannah Kaye at their local registry office in September.

The influencer was over the moon when she tied the knot with her wife after initially meeting on Tinder and dating for two years, with Hannah popping the question in January.  Little did the couple know they would be subject to a barrage of online abuse after sharing professional snaps from the big day on social media.  In a disturbing turn of events, Lauren was falsely accused of being a paedophile by hundreds of Instagram users for ‘marrying someone so young’ – despite Hannah being 29 years old.

Lauren believes the couple has had the last laugh, as she added: ‘Strangers online can say what they like but we have never been happier’

Lauren said: ‘Some people said it was cute that my 10-year-old son was walking me down the aisle. Others said it was disgusting that I was kissing a young boy.’  Other vile comments left by the trolls include: ‘I thought she married a child,’ ‘Why does he look like a 13-year-old boy?’ and ‘Is he old enough to get married?’  Lauren – who made headlines in August after spending thousands of pounds on cosmetic surgery to appear younger, including £3,400 on a new smile and £2,000 on a gastric sleeve in Turkey – said her wife’s youthful appearance is down to ‘luck.’

She explained: ‘I paid thousands of pounds to look younger and change my body and appearance, but my wife is just very lucky to have incredible genes.  ‘She is two years younger – I am not getting arrested. Hannah is a tough nut but the comments offends me and they are incredibly hurtful.  ‘People think they have the right to call me a predator or a paedophile and that disgusts me.’

Lauren added: ‘The amount of abuse we have received is just ridiculous.’  Hannah, a specialist engineer, explained she has always looked young for her age, and despite approaching 30, is still asked to show ID in bars and supermarkets.  She said: ‘The negativity exploded when we uploaded our wedding photos. But even before that, any photo of us together would attract nasty comments, because I look younger.’  Hannah explained that she has to carry ID at all times, and is often asked to produce valid proof of age to buy lottery tickets and energy drinks.

She continued: ‘We recently went on holiday to Spain and had to show my passport and holiday booking to get an adult wrist band.’  Hannah revealed the comments have even left family members distressed, who are described as being ‘very protective’ of the couple.  She added: ‘Everyone has their opinion of my appearance, I’ve grown up with everyone having an opinion of me and how I look. I just don’t acknowledge any comments; I just block them.’

Hannah insisted she’s ‘heard them all before’ and that there was little use in engaging with the trolls as they are ‘narrow-minded.’  Looking to their future, the couple are now having IVF treatment, in the hopes that they will soon welcome their first child together.  They recently flew to Northern Cyprus to undergo egg retrieval surgery.  Lauren believes the couple has had the last laugh, as she added: ‘Strangers online can say what they like but we have never been happier.’
