While Aaliya finds it very embarrassing to be mistaken for his daughter, she also says that the worst negativity comes from the internet.
The couple shared a video about their relationship on TikTok, garnering 7.5 million views and "numerous" hateful comments.
"There are comments like, 'That's sick,' 'He's a maniac,' 'He's going to leave you for someone younger when you're a little older,' and so many others that I try to block out right now. to appear ." Aliya said. "I think the most negative and hateful comment I got was, ' Bruce Willis got dementia and his young wife left him and this is going to do the same.' "From the outside, I think our relationship may not seem worth much.
"But it breaks my heart when someone says such things about the man I love."
"I took everything into account after accepting this relationship with a man older than me," she said. "It may sound naive, but I am prepared to face anything and I intend to take care of him until his last breath." She said: “ Some of the best parts for me about being in a relationship like this is the wisdom and stability that my partner has.
There were a lot of things I didn't learn or know when we met and he really opened my mind to how limitless we all are in life.
Steve is also father to Adrianna, 26, and Cristian, 22, from a previous relationship, who have been dating Aaliya.
