Why is anything out of the norm is difficult to accept?
In 2014, Alexandra Sinyavskaya met with Antonio Scruzzarella when she was both studying and working part-time at a coffee shop in Turin. While the 31-Year-Old worked shifts, 54-Year-Old Antonio often stopped for coffee as his office was just a stone’s throw. At this time, he successfully won Alexandra’s heart with showers of compliments, and the pair began to date.
Alexandra Sinyavskaya, 31, had in 2014 worked at a café in the Italian city of Turin and studied full-time.
While she worked shifts, 54-Year-Old Antonio often stopped for coffee as his office was just a stone’s throw.
Two months later, the pair separated when Alexandra felt she wasn’t mature enough to be in a serious affair. So she went ahead to complete her studies to qualify as an accountant and indeed moved back to her hometown of Moscow, Russia, but then they remained as JUST friends.
When he saw that Alexandra was regularly standing at the checkout, the visits became more frequent.
During the visits, he showered Alexandra with compliments, and eventually, her heart couldn’t resist.
Shortly before the global pandemic in 2020, the pair found themselves in touch, reconnecting online, and soon they booked a trip to Barcelona together as friends. Tickets were purchased, and plans were also in the pipeline, but then COVID hit severely, and Italy closed its borders, hindering the couple from achieving their traveling desire.
Their age gap at a point became an obstacle, and Alexandra ended the relationship after two months.
The pair remained friends as Alexandra finished her studies and moved home to Moscow.
Alexandra had no choice but to stay in Prague, Czech Republic, while Antonio remained in Turin. Amid the lockdown, the pair spoke daily and kept each other up to date with what they were doing. In September 2020, Alexandra summoned all and moved to Turin to live with Antonio. She fell pregnant for him but lost the baby at five weeks.
When the pandemic hit the world in 2020, the pair conversations became more extended.
Tickets had also been booked for a trip to Spain, but due to strict restrictions, it was canceled.
“It made us realize that we want to be together, get married, and start a family,” Alexandra, according to the Mirror, said. In February 2021, she fell pregnant again but again had a miscarriage at seven weeks. But despite these tough moments, Antonio proposed, rejected by Alexandra at first, but finally, they got engaged in June 2021 and tied the knot in December.
In September 2020, Alexandra realized she still had feelings for Antonio and moved back to Turin.
Finally, the pair got engaged in June 2021 and tied the knot in December.
While the pair are love-sick with each other, they get some unusual looks and comments due to their 23-Year-Old. Alexandra claimed people assume she’s with Antonio for his money says if he had been a simple clerk or a street sweeper, she wouldn’t be with him. She revealed it took time for Antonio’s friends all the time to understand she was with him for love and not because of his money or to live in Italy.
Many of Alexandra’s friends have had opinions about the relationship.
She also finds it difficult to explain to people that Antonio is not her father.
Nonetheless, Alexandra is no stranger to age gap relationships. She had dated a 26-Year-old man when she was just 16 and a man 19 years older than her when she met Antonio. “I prefer a man who knows how to love; I want a man who is experienced, who is well-traveled and knows who he is,” Alexandra shared.
But in all, Antonio is everything she has ever dreamed of, and she would not want anything more.
“I prefer a man who knows how to live life, a man who’s experienced & knows who he is.”
She added that most people judge age gap affairs because they’re uneducated about them. The accountant is madly in love with her older beau, but she has warned other women considering an age gap relationship to remember their partner will most likely die long before they do. She said: “At some point, your partner will be very old. You have to understand that it will come, and you have to be prepared for that as well.”
