They have been together ever since and even got married in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The stay-at-home mother, who is from Rancho Cucamonga, in Southern California, took to social media to show off her age gap relationship, leaving many open-mouthed.

She then shared: “I’m glad we didn’t meet sooner…”
Following this, Aaliya shared a snap of Steve during his twenties, and wrote: “Him in 1998.”
Seconds later, she revealed a picture of her as a baby, as she penned: “Me in 1998”, visually showing off their large age gap.
But Aaliya is clearly not phased by their difference in age, as she described her husband as “a provider and protector.”
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @aaliyalara, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly gone viral and has since racked up a jaw-dropping 10.4 million views.
