In a clip recently shared to Gary’s TikTok account, the now 26-year-old can be seen singing a song for his beloved wife, senior citizen Almeda, now aged 80.<\/p>\n

Gary Hardwick , then 19, fell for Walmart worker Almeda Errell, then 71, and he popped the question just two weeks after dating<\/p>\n
It seems their passion continues to grow, with Gary describing Almeda as his ‘babydoll’\u00a0and his ‘queen’ in an emotional birthday tribute to mark her 80th birthday last week.<\/p>\n
The full Instagram post said: ‘Happy birthday to the most amazing wife in the world. Today is not only your day, but most importantly, today is about celebrating the birth of such a wonderful & true woman with such a heart of gold.<\/p>\n
‘I’m the luckiest husband for every day that I get to wake up beside you. You make me the happiest man each and every day and I want to always make you the happiest woman.<\/p>\n
‘You deserve the world and until my last breath I’ll work hard to give you that. All of my happiest moments are moments I share with you. I hope you have the best birthday ever today and I hope you enjoy all of your surprises my love.<\/p>\n
‘You’re truly the love of my lifetime and I love you with every beat of my heart. Here’s to celebrating my queen. Happy Birthday Babydoll’.<\/p>\n
Gary, in his mid-twenties also cheffed up some wine-infused salmon\u00a0for his sweetheart – and treated her to some wine to mark the occasion.<\/p>\n
The duo are no stranger to controversy, and even have a joint OnlyFans account\u00a0selling explicit content to their subscribers.<\/p>\n
And this isn’t the only time they’ve made headlines – Gary has been candid about their sex life.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In a clip recently shared to Gary’s TikTok account, the now 26-year-old can be seen singing a song for his beloved wife, senior citizen Almeda, now aged 80<\/p>\n
He said: ‘The first time we made love was on our wedding night. It was an amazing experience. There was such a deep connection there. She’s a wonderful lover’.<\/p>\n
The couple have even found themselves estranged from certain family members – with Almeda’s son cutting her off as a result of her relationship with a man similarly aged to him.<\/p>\n
Aaron and Indiana Elliott, two of Almeda’s six grandchildren, also found it difficult to accept their relationship \u2013 particularly Aaron, who is three years older than his step-grandfather.<\/p>\n
Aaron, said: ‘I only called him grandfather once and it was when I was drunk. In my head, I see him as a friend more than a grandfather. But you know, our grandmother is happy.’<\/p>\n
Indiana, 17, added: ‘How can you not be supportive about that? For me personally, whenever they first got together it was a little bit weird. But I mean, we live in the 21st century and those things really shouldn’t matter’.<\/p>\n
