Lorna and John met when she was 25, in the middle of her eight-year stint as a Virgin Atlantic stewardess, before marrying in New York shortly afterwards and going on to live together in Hove, East Sussex, and later in Horsham and now Warwickshire.
While the sexagenarian previously worked as a banker, following his stage three cancer diagnosis last year and Lorna’s continued success as an influencer, he left his job to focus on his health and help his wife work.
Amid much fascination over their age gap romance, Lorna took to Instagram on Sunday to share a sweet video of the couple detailing their love story.
Over a sweet video of them cuddling on the street, she wrote: ’21 year age difference. Married 15 years. He is Libra. He dresses himself. I don’t pay the bills but my business pays for our lifestyle. We don’t share a bathroom but we do share clothes…
“We don’t have children and that was a choice, not a situation.”
She added a caption that read: ‘Frequently Asked Questions… I love seeing John blossom after a tough year, he’s into his main character energy and I couldn’t be more proud to have him by my side. I love this man x’.
Followers soon flooded the comments section, with vile trolls writing: ’21 years difference no, it’s not love it’s love HIS DADDY ISSUES ARE DADDY ISSUES…
‘Do I even want to know your ages when you met?… Damn, what a way to romanticize being with a predator and the best compliment you can give him is that he dresses himself… He’s going to die 21 years before you. . Sad…
Nasty comments flooded the post, before others jumped to the sweet couple’s defense.

“Those sorts of age gaps definitely have Jimmy Saville vibes…except when he’s in his late 60s and early 70s, you’re in your prime and he’s slowing down.”
The next day, he shared a selfie video taken in the couple’s car, in which he commented on the cruel nature of the responses.
Lorna said: ‘I think you were as surprised as I was. I couldn’t understand it. He has nuances, doesn’t he… He just turned a little bad, didn’t he…
‘We laughed a little yesterday, didn’t we? What do you say when someone accuses your husband of being Jimmy Saville?
His defenders were quick to intervene, with one user writing: ‘Saville’s comment though. People are strange. keep being you I love your story.’
Last year, Lorna spoke to The Times about their relationship and how they split their cash and workflow, saying: “When I met him I was a stewardess earning £12,000 a year. “So there was definitely a cash imbalance. ..
“But we just share everything and since everything was dumped, it’s never been a problem.” It got to the point where John going to work every day was costing us money, because we had to turn down jobs and he couldn’t take photos of me…
‘So we made the executive decision that I would leave the bank. It took him two years. He left in December and then was diagnosed with cancer in January.
