Woman, 27, becomes mum to 20-year-old

A woman has revealed how she became a mum at 23, and how she struggled to bond with her stepdaughter who is just six years younger.

After falling in love with her boss, one woman became a stepmother to a 17-year-old, and two other kids when she was just 23.

Sav Martin, 27, had been dating hair salon owner Chris, 44, for four months when she fell pregnant, and the pair began to build their blended family, The Sun reports.

Chris was already dad to two teenagers and a 10-year-old when the couple met four years ago. They are now engaged and have two young children together.

And although they and kids Trinity 13, Tayge 17 and Tizziana 20, Tripp 21 months and five-month-old baby Traxx, are now one big happy family, Sav revealed that wasn’t always the case.

Taking to the couple’s joint YouTube channel, Sav said that when meeting Chris’s kids, Tizziana, who was 17, had a tough time because his dad’s girlfriend was only six years older than her.

“I was nervous,” said Chris, during the couple’s YouTube Q and A.

But three years after meeting, Sav says: “Now we’re best friends and she is like my right-hand man.”

Speaking about the couple’s 16 year age gap, Chris says that he is young at heart.

“I act like I’m 30. I’m not an old man I’ve got a ton of energy. I’m glad I had some kid’s young so they can experience this part of my life with me” said Chris.

Chris said that when he met Sav’s family, he was nervous about meeting her dad.

“Like meeting her father, I’m a father but I felt super-welcome, everything was cool,” he said.

Answering whether they will have more kids of their own, Chris says he is unsure due to his age.

Sav says every time I say something about it, he’s like: “Do you know how old I am?”

“I’m at the age already that I’m gonna be 60 when little Tripp graduates,” said Chris.

Since the YouTube Q & A was filmed in July 2020, the couple welcomed little Traxx in April this year.

On her TikTok channel, where she posts under the domain, @sav_martin, the 27-year-old introduces her blended family.

And she often shares videos of her and her now-best friend Tizziana.

“I met her and she was 17 and I was 23” posted Sav in a video where the pair dance around in matching outfits.

“Little did I know, I’d become her stepmum & she would be my BFF,” said Sav.

Adding: “I wouldn’t trade it for the world” added Sav.

The post has been viewed 619,000 times and has been met with a range of comments.

“You would pass for sisters,” commented one person.

Another said: “What a great relationship you have.”

“Your life story is amazing,” said a third.
