A WOMAN who is dating a man more than double her age, has revealed she is pregnant with their first child together.
Ellie Liptrot, 21, met Mark, 44, three years ago when she was just 18 and the couple soon fell in love and moved in together.
Mark already has two children from a previous relationship, Isabelle, 16, and Marcus, 12 and the family of four all live together under one roof.
Ellie said that she loves being a step-mum, despite the fact that Isabelle is only five years her junior, and revealed that she and Mark’s daughter are like “best friends.”
The family often share insights into their unconventional relationship to TikTok, and recently revealed that Ellie is pregnant.
“When our family of four becomes a family of five,” Ellie penned.
In the video, Mark is seen with his hand on Ellie’s growing belly, as she holds a sonogram up to the camera.
The loved up couple then share a kiss before the video switches to a clip of the family doing an intimate gender reveal.
Isabelle holds a yellow cake, whilst Mark has a confetti cannon in his hand.
Marcus then cuts the cake at the same time as Mark lets the cannon off, revealing that Ellie is pregnant with a baby boy.
The family all jump for joy, before the video switches again, this time to a clip of Ellie showing off all of the adorable toys and clothes she has bought for her son.
Ellie’s (@elli3liptrot) video has likely left many people open-mouthed, as it has racked up more than 2.1 million views on the video sharing platform.
TikTok users raced to the video’s comments section, to share their congratulations.
One person said: “Congratulations, what a beautiful family.”
A second person said: “I’ve followed you guys for ages now and you can tell this is a happy, genuine home.
“I love that you came in and give those kids a happy healthy household.”
A third person added: “I love how much his kids adore you!
“My step-mum was vile. It’s so lovely to see.”
When Ellie and Mark first got together Ellie’s family were quite shocked due to their large age gap.
However, after seeing that the duo are in a happy and healthy relationship, her family have come around.
She added that she barely even notices their age gap, and doesn’t see it as an issue since they were friends first.
The couple often post insights into their life on Instagram, with Ellie often being accused of being a gold-digger.
However, Ellie said that she doesn’t let the comments get to her, as the trolls must have something “missing from their life.”
“At the end of the day, as long as we’re happy that’s all that matters,” she said.
