In a world where love should know no boundaries, why do we let appearances and judgment stand in the way?
Lauren Kaye, 31, thought she found her soulmate in Hannah, 29.
But when the couple tied the knot, their happiness was overshadowed by cruel comments and accusations.
Lauren Kaye and her partner, Hannah, had their hearts set on celebrating their love when they tied the knot in a beautiful, intimate ceremony last summer.
But what should have been a joyous occasion quickly turned sour as online trolls targeted the British couple with cruel and hurtful remarks. Among the nasty jibes, some even accused Lauren of being a ‘paedophile’ simply because of Hannah’s youthful appearance.
At 31, Lauren has faced it all with remarkable strength, brushing off the cruel remarks with grace and resilience. Despite some claiming her partner looks like a 10-year-old boy, she remains calm.
“I take it with a pinch of salt, I ignore it. I am a very calm person and the comments online don’t bother me,” she tells The Mirror.
However, it’s not the online trolls that bother her the most — it’s when they’re out in public, and people look right past Hannah to talk to her, assuming she’s her ‘mom’.
”It does bother me..”
The couple’s experience highlights the frustrating reality of being judged based on appearance, with many mistaking Hannah, who is 29, for a young child.
She’s often asked to show ID for age-restricted purchases and even during routine tasks like home deliveries. But Hannah doesn’t let the criticism get to her.
“It does bother me being compared to a child when I’m with Lauren because of course that would make our relationship entirely inappropriate. Though I would always take being called a child over being called a paedophile,” she commented.
Even though some critics have pointed out her wardrobe choices, suggesting a makeover to avoid the jabs, Hannah remains unfazed.
“It’s 2025. Having a ‘butch partner’ isn’t exactly obscure. It’s nothing I should feel compelled to hide,” she said firmly.
Lauren and Hannah’s love story began two years ago on the online dating application Tinder.

Triplets through IVF
Just seven months after Lauren’s proposal in January 2024, the couple exchanged vows at a registry office in Surrey, U.K. Then, they had bigger dreams in mind: becoming parents to triplets through IVF in Cyprus.
Lauren, who already has an 11-year-old son and a 9-year-old daughter from a previous relationship, had trouble finding suitable IVF options in the UK. But with Hannah by her side, she’s excited for the next chapter of their family journey.
“I can’t wait to do it again. Be with a supportive partner on my side to become a parent with,” Lauren shared.
Not long ago, Lauren and Hannah also shared the exciting news that they were expecting triplets through IVF on their first attempt.
It seems like the pregnancy has been going well so far. Lauren shared on Instagram, “I woke up to the triplets wiggling away (after they kept me up with heartburn most of the bloody night!)”
The couple has announced that the triplets will be born via C-section.
On their GoFundMe page, the couple expressed their heartfelt gratitude for the outpouring of support from their social media community.
Next chapter of their journey?
After Hannah lost her job and with the triplets at high risk of being born early, they were encouraged by their followers to set up a fundraising campaign to help cover the costs of the babies’ arrival and any potential hospital stays.
Though Lauren was initially hesitant to create the fundraiser, the overwhelming number of messages offering help prompted them to move forward with it.
They also took the time to thank those who had already contributed to their wish list, expressing their deep appreciation for the kindness, even from the trolls. With their hearts full, the couple is excited to share the next chapter of their journey with their supportive online family.
While the trolls continue to spread negativity, Lauren and Hannah are focused on the future, determined to build a life of love and happiness, no matter what anyone else thinks.
