Sam Stanley, a 25-year-old, out rugby star, is engaged to Laurence Hicks, his partner of seven years!
Stanley told Attitude Magazine that he met his fiancé seven years ago on SilverDaddies.com, a site for "mature men and other men (both daddies and younger), who are interested in keeping their daddy happy and/or sexually satisfied." Since meeting, the couple hid their relationship from the world by claiming to be related.
"After being a part of each others lives for almost 7 years," Stanley wrote on Instagram, "@lorenzo_uk has been my pretend godfather, uncle, cousin and many others in order to make sure no one found out about us and that we were a couple funny looking back after having come so far together. The most loving man I know and I’m incredibly happy to say we’re now engaged."
Facing the criticism around the couple's age gap, Stanley explained to Attitude "I’m sure as everyone knows, you’re not doing anything right if you’re not getting criticised in this world. Laurence & I love each other and to us that’s all that matters. We’re proud to represent the many relationships like ours."
The couple is planning on moving to Sicily later this month for Laurence's job, and Sam is looking forward to learning Italian, exploring new projects outside of rugby, and eventually having children of their own.
Congratulations Sam and Lawrence!
