In an emotional social media post, the lady revealed that her partner was initially hesitant to meet her in person due to concerns about his height and their noticeable age difference. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
“He was scared to meet me for the first time because of his height. But height never mattered to me,” she said.

She explained that despite their differences in age and cultural background, her partner’s personality, values, and sense of humour were what drew her closer to him.
