I just found out her husband died last year since this video was made. She stayed by his side for 4 months in the hosptal 24/7 until he passed. What love and respect. My prayers go out to them and their families
Exactly, Robert! She proved her love and devotion until the end, and yet ignorant people will still say ‘she did it for the money’ even though she was the one earning their money for years, and could have left him any time she wanted 😳👍
So sad to hear of this 😳 They found happines for a season !! I Sincerely Hope Jesa Is Doing Very Well !!!! My Wonderful Wife Is 24 Years Younger Than I !...She Has Proved Her Value In This Mans Life Ssso Many Times ,Through Thick and Thin ,She Looks Forward , And With Tireless Enthusiasm !!! 20 Years Married To My Wonderful Wife From Leyte ❤
I’m a Mexican women, met my American husband when I was 19. He’s in his late 50s now and I’m 28. Still together. As long as there’s true love, respect and cooperation between the two, relationship will blossom. I know it, trust me. We’re both happy to have each other. Have faith in god.
[ ] My dad was 24, my mom 14 when their parents arranged their marriage. It was taboo for Mom being a kid and she was reluctant but she had no choice. Long story short, we were 13 siblings. There's such a thing as love begets love even in today's older foreigner and a kid Filipina, but they're the exemption. It's usually to upgrade the life of the young Filipina, even her family benefits but it's not always the case. A woman looking for financial security is a woman thing, not exclusive to poor Filipinas. Young Filipinas abandoning the marriage in later life is always wrong and her youth is not a valid reason but on the part of the foreigner, it should be considered as always a possibility. At the end of the day, it's on the foreigners' choice whether to pursue a married life with a wife young enough to be his daughter and take the risk. Nothing that a woman can do if he doesn't wanna be with her. Also, all marriages are not without risks.
There still arranged marriages in Mexico. My grandma was 14 and my grandpa 18 when they got married. Had 12 kids. All married now with children. Grandpa came from Italian father who migrated to Mexico, fell in love with my great grandma. My grandparents were together till grandpa died of osteoporosis about 12 years ago in his early 70s. I met my husband through a relative, he’s just a friendly guy, with big heart, and very intelligent. It comes down to character; your values, morals and work ethic that your parents and family demonstrated and shared with you that will determine your choices in life and how well you will treat other people. For me it has nothing to do with society unless you allow it. My grandpa did not allow tv or radio in home. Everyone worked in the farm as a family. I guess you could say we lived in a bubble of our own creation. I am blessed to have many good memories from my family. But I know a lot of people don’t have that guidance. I feel that’s where God comes in to show us the way, if we have faith. You will never be alone with God. A part of god is within us.
I married my Filipina wife when I was 44 and she was 37. There is not an extreme age difference as you see in some relationships. we have been married for 17 years now. Before we got married, we both decided that we wanted our house to be peaceful. We could discuss things, we can have disagreements, but we promised each other we would never fight . We have kept that promise. I have had enough of that in my life (fighting). The core value that we both have is love and respect. In my mind, you can’t have one without the other.
I was twice my wife's age (50/25) when we first met. After 4 visits on the 5th (a month each, over 5 years) we were married. 5 years later, we are prepping for our 5th Annv. We have had our problems here and there, but work through them. Mostly we fill the needs of each other. We both wanted what are now considered "old fashioned" values and a partner who fulfilled those roles still. She is spoiled rotten, and I am as well. So far, so good.
Yours are pretty close to opening the envelope. Its still acceptable in many traditional cultures. Maybe a 10 to 15 year gap between an older man and a younger woman is ideal. A very mature man with good finances should marry a younger woman at their fertile age to have babies. An older man can help a woman mature faster because women mature earlier than men. Other than that it is about financials and a caregiver for a very old man in the future. There can never be that young passionate love and romance these women will miss from a 3 to 5 year age gap in between. These things are the lives young women will regret missing out later on. Sure, some kind of love may develop between huge gap couples depending on the needs being met. But for me, a very old man who wants a young wife simply for selfish reasons should not be doing it. Neither should the young woman. Loneliness is part of our human condition. It is what it is. One can be alone, not be lonely and be content. But each to his own. At the end of the day its not anybody's business. I can't help expressing my opinion though because I want to understand the stimuli of human actions and relationships. '
i married a filipino in manila in 2008, she was 21 and i was 48 , not sure why i married her becauser i was with several filipino and all i ever heard was give me money or visa visa , anyhow i been supporting her nasty family since 2009 and i got 2 kids with her and they living there now in philippines and i divorce the skank in 2020 when she went to hawaii to try a job and would not come back to me , she said she appreciate everything i done and things have change now and she has moved on , my biggest mistake was showing remorse , should of treated her like shit and i be 40 girls away from her, i would never do visa again , and if i ge philippines i never give a dam about any one girl , i be in air force one or star fleet massage , i have lived in philippine for 14 month in 2007 to 2009
This is the first and ONLY couple I have ever seen on RUclips that seem to be truly happy and in love with each other and totally respect each other. It's nice to see this is possible to happen.
In 1964, Dad, an immigrant laborer who worked his whole life in the fields, married Mom from Phil. He was 69, she was 29. Within 5 years, he brought her to US, used a CalVet home loan, had 4 kids, and he died. Mom became a single mother, filed for welfare, and had little English. We relied on extended family, SSA/VA, and we survived. And Mom is 88.
What a sweet girl, even after 14 years she hasn't changed. She is one in a million to not have dug his grave after moving to Canada. Amazing story, thank you for this.
There are others, without sharing my story, I can emphatically state I was not taken even when she divorced me after being together for 9 years. ZERO MONEY she wanted and she was Thai 16.5 years younger. I am a multimillionaire that owns a small tech company.
Love it! My daughter (30 years old) refuses to speak to me since I have been with a younger pinay. She is 28 and I am 50. Sad situation but I am as blessed as John is. BTW we are on our 11th year together and NO regrets!
I say once you've raised your kids to adulthood you've done your job and you get to start living for yourself. It's sad your daughter isn't more supportive but she will eventually come around if she wants to have a relationship with you.
Send her a video of 50cent at hiring with his son. His son gets $6700 a month as a allowance but wants $25,000 a month, the son is 25 years old. It’s not the same, but it’s funny. Both you daughter and 50’s kid, are entitled brats. Find a good video and send it to her. Say 50’s son reminds me of you. XO Dad Cus she can see likley the kids is goofed rude idiot… and see might see she’s being the same. If being nice doesn’t work… sarcasm might. Lastly, the Bible says your job is to give “respect” not love. And that’s back n forth. She’s not respecting you. I’m not saying obey the Bible, I’m saying it’s nice to see it written. Old Testament / Torah.
This western culture is so messed up. I bet if you had told her you were gay she would be more accepting than a normal man and woman age gap relationship that has existed for hundreds of years.
There's a 36-year difference between my wife and I. She's Filippino. There's never been an age issue between us. She appreciates I treat her like a queen, and she has a better lifestyle and many more opportunities with me. She's pretty and she feels I'm handsome. We're both Catholic and I love the Philippine Catholic faith.
I met my Filipino wife when she was 18 and I was 59. We married the next year and we live in Australia and now have 3 children together. Have been married over 6 years now and I am retired and stay home to raise the kids while my wife now an Australian citizen is studying nursing.
I first came to the Philippines in 1987 while working for the Navy at Subic. I married/divorced several times between my 1st marriage in 1973 and my last divorce in 2004. Not all relationships work out no matter what the age difference. I retired in 2007 and spent time in the Philippines and Thailand. In 2009 I had enough of Thailand and moved to Angeles City. Shortly after I had a girl that I had met back in 2008 in the Philippines move in with me. She is 32 years younger than me. In 2011 we married in the Philippines (she was 29). We then started toggling back and forth between the PI and the US. She became a US citizen in 2017. We built a house in her hometown of Sibonga, Cebu - but have been in Florida since Covid. We are live with my parents (ages 96 and 98), who would otherwise be in a nursing home. We have been together for over 13 years now and everything is wonderful. Age doesn't matter when you're young at heart and have the same interests.
Steven ,this is true! I know a 75 year old who married a 25 year old filipina 3 years ago . They live in his mansion and she takes care of him . She says she loves taking care of him . His wife of 50 years died 6 months before he met her . He married her 6 months later...crazy....
OMG, she looks now about 25 years old - I can just imagine how young she appeared when they met.. I'm 58 years now, she still looks like a baby to me. but glad to hear and see that they have succeeded.
I'm 18 years older than my wife. She was 24 and I was 42 when we married in Philippines. I told her I was poor and that I had no job or money. She did not care whatsoever, she was still into me. I did not tell her that I made a lot of money in high tech, and was living off my savings at the time, just taking a break from the tech world. I also did not mention that I come from a wealthy family. I told her my family was also poor. Later, only after our marriage, I revealed the truth to her. I know, kind of dishonest, but I heard all the horror stories and I wanted to test her. To see if she was a gold-digger. We have been married over 17 yeas now. She is honest, loyal, and straight as an arrow.
HAhha I bet she knew. And to girls from poorer countries just being a westerner means you have more money.

My wife and I have a 40 years age gap ; we have been together for 15 years and we are still deeply in love with each other. As for our families, it was complicated in the beginning but now that they can see that it is working so well, not only have they accepted it, but they are openly admiring us and citing us as examples of a successful marriage 🥰.
Awesome story brother! Talk about social constructs, age gaps mean nothing to the people who are in love. It only matters to the people who you to conform to their social construct.
@@spencerificus In the age of Viagra its all possible if u have lots of $$ like the guy of playboy mansion can get western young sugar baby if have no enough money then there is Filipino and Thailand. 🤞
I love to hear stories like this one. I met my Filipina on a dating site. I was really nervous about our age difference at first, as she is 29 and I am 56. I learned very quickly that she genuinely liked me for me and not for what I could do for her. I was able to go and meet her in Dumaguete for the first time last month after dating for about 6 months. I was very nervous at first, but she was so wonderful that our being together felt natural. She is amazing. Our relationship has grown stronger since the visit.
Congratulations to John & Jessa! My Filipina (age 22) sent me (age 52) a friend invite on Facebook in September of 2011. I went to see her in the Philippines in April 2012, and we married just three weeks later. Nine months later in January of 2013, our first child was born. In April of 2013, my wife and daughter arrived here in America. Our second child (son) was born in January of 2015 and our third child (son) was born in August of 2022. We have now been married for about 10 1/2 years. She is 33 and I'm 63. Life is good and getting better every day. Oh, and I'm never, ever, ever going to get a vasectomy! 🙂
I’m 50 and my Filipina is 36. She wants another child. We adore each other. I never imagined I’d have a child at my age, but she is so good to me, I won’t deny her. She’s an amazing woman.
I came to Thailand when I was 65. My first Thai wife was 25 years younger than me. She died of cancer after 6 years of a lovely marriage together. I met another Thai woman. She was 24. There is a 48 year age gap. We have been together now for a good 7 years. There are up's and downs the same as in any marriage. We get on great. Her family are fantastic. There has never been a problem from Thai people. We have never been back to my country. But I can imagine the thoughts and remarks if we did. My advice to people in the same situation. Think hard and talk together about it together. I can only wish who ever you are and where ever you. All the very best and much happiness. One other thing. You need to talk about have children or not and if there could be any consequences for your wife in the future re money and can she raise the children on her own. Because you will most likely die before her.
Thank you very much Pea. I love your video's. And I am sure they are a great help to many. Not only are you beautiful. You have a good brain too.. Take care love.
Very inspiring ♥️ My boyfriend is 59 and I am 24. Were in a relationship for 1 year. I could really relate on this ♥️ But hearing your story melts my heart. It doesn't really matter what the age gap is as long as you are true to one another. You're sincere then who cares what the other people say ♥️♥️
I like to see this because my friends think I'm crazy for seeking a much younger woman, but I politely disagree. :) Here's proof that dreams can come true!
No it is not only the respect for each other that sustained their amazing success, I would say it is more because of the wonderful personal character intrinsically built in each of them! Congratulations to you both!
💗🙏🏻 lovely couple and I wish both John and Jessa many blessings and happiness for the future as well. It takes a lot of trust, mutual respect, patience and faithfulness to each other and never let anybody get in the way of your loving relationship 🙏🏻🙏🏻💖
Getting a young chick is easy. Keeping her is much more difficult. Once she marries and realizes she can get just as much by divorcing him, she'll conclude that she's been abused or taken advantage of by an old, flabby man. And the whamen will cheer her on in destroying him.
A beautiful story! I am married to an American for almost 13 yrs now, and we have 7 yrs old son. My husband is a nicest and responsible guy. I also experienced some "marites" thing at the start of our relationship, but i just ignored all those. If you know and feel in your heart that he is the one, go for it! The first time I met and saw my husband in the airport, i never felt butterfly in stomach, not excitement, nor kilig! All I felt was peace, comfort, and be my self (no pretentions). And i remember my grandma's advice. That you will know if the person is the one or destined to be with you, if you feel peace when are with him/her. Thanks, Pea! Your vlog is very informative. Me and my husband always watching your content!
My Filipina wife and I have a 34 year age gap. We've been married over 8 years now and have a 4 year old daughter. I'm 63 and she's 29. Our story is SOOOOO similar to John and Jessa (except the living in Philippines part). She has been living with me in America our entire marriage. She came here on a K-1 Visa. We're in love and secure in our relationship.🥰 Thanks for the story John and Jessa!
She's playing a long game. When you croak in 20 years time she will still be a young looking 49, can live off your money with her new bloke & her folks will have been taken care of for a few decades. But hey, you think you've won a prize.
@@casino3340 if he doesnt know her real feelings and she takes good care of him and lets him sleep with her when he can do it, then what difference does it make? Almost all these guys are delusional but blissfull so maybe it doesn't matter. It is sad in my opinion for the girl but that's life
I met a Filipina when I was 56. She was 33. We have been a couple for almost 5 years. The age gap has never been an issue. It may be an issue when I am too old to keep up with her, but we both were far more focussed on the good available in the present than a possible issue in the future. I must admit that the thought of dying before we have a full life is one I do not enjoy, but as I said, why run from ghosts that are not yet even born.
All I can say is no risk, no gain. Once in a while it works out. I just would not bank on it. It all depends on the individuals. These two seem to be rather exceptional. Lots of respect and humility. Enjoyed this interview a lot!
John and Jessa are becoming celebrities , many RUclipsrs are interviewing them. I enjoy them very much , hope and pray you guys stay together for ever.
My American marriage lasted 7 years 5 together 2 separated the value of marriage and stuff is lost here so I am now dating a pinay who works in Malaysia waiting for her vacation and mine to come together to get to fly and meet her
Thank you very much Filipina Pea. This video was extremely inspirational, because I will be marrying a Filipina soon, she is now 20 and I am 65. She was the one who found me, and made it so clear that age was not an issue with her, as it was with me. I stayed at her mother's home for over 3 months. I just got back to America in October 2022. Now I am in the process of petitioning her to be here with me. Seeing this video has cleared my mind. Again thank you.
omg she is more than beautiful . she is charming gentle and kind, if only I could read minds , money seems to be at the center of the subject. look after each other is honorable . marriage is honorable , Good for Jessa and John !
so nice to see and hear a couple who have managed to make the marriage work....Jessa is truly a credit to her parents and she chose to commit as did John to a relationship that was meant to be...their honesty is refreshing to see that they face their future with eyes wide open, beautiful interview and best wishes to both of them for years to come ....shows age is not a barrier for happiness if given a chance, truly magic and refreshing to hear instead of the collapse stories..............
It’s understandable how families react to such an unusual circumstance. But great to see they, as two people have turned to each other and rallied through. It’s a great story, thank you for posting
Age is a number .......I'm 63 this October.....and have personal bests in weightlifting at 62 .....I've worked out my whole life and am stronger ....more then ever ......
Same here. 62. Still feel the same as 25. Always been very physically active. Farm, build and butcher. People mistake me for half my age. My wife thought I was 30 when we met. No wrinkles. Healthy diet, no drugs, alcohol or smoking coupled with good genetics.
that was a FANTASTIC interview. the sheer fact they have been together this long speaks volumes. Now if i could just find my gorgeous young sugar momma. Congratulations to both. I am going to subscribe to her channel.
Wow Pea, thanks so much for this story! I am currently in a relationship with a Colombian woman and we have the same age gap. I met her online shortly before I visited Colombia. I was going to visit a friend that lives there in Bogota and coincidentally my gf also lives in Bogota. I had no expectations other than just meeting her as we hit it off online so well. Anyway, we met for dinner after talking for a little over 1 month online and it was just magic for us. I stayed in Bogota on that trip for 2 weeks and we spent most of that time together. We were both so sad when I had to go home. That was in July and I had a trip to the Philippines planned for September. After I got home I felt the need to return to Colombia and see if this thing with her was real. So, after talking to her about it I changed my flights and returned to Colombia for the month of September. We spent most of the month together, she has a job so we couldn't spend every moment with each other but we did end up going to the Caribbean for a whole week at a resort on the beach. So, now we are officially a couple. I have told my grown daughter about her and yes my daughter is much older than my gf. I have met some of her family and so far no one has had a problem with our relationship. The only person we haven't told yet is her mother. They have some unrelated issues that they recently resolved. So, she is waiting until she feels like those issues won't cause more trouble or an overreaction on her mother's part. We text all day and video call most nights. She has never asked me for money or presented any of the red flags I look for. I am happy and she seems to also be very happy. So, seeing the couple in your video gives me hope. My biggest fear is that as I get older she would be saddled with an old man to take care of but the folks in your video seem happy still after 14 years. So, I hope we can have the same result.
no no don't do it in columbia. Filipinas have been raised to sacrifice everything for their families and for God. They are not raised to pursue their own happiness. That is why many of these relationships work. Things are VERY different with latinas. You are making a big mistake
Thank you Pea. I'm 30 years older than the Filipina I met online. I'll be moving to the Philippines in December to finally meet her. It's great to hear the perspective of a Filipina. Thanks very mych.
@@TheFilipinaPea we connected last May on Facebook and started our LDR in July. We're coming up on our 15th monthsary.. I'll be retiring in the Philippines starting in December.

My wife and I are the reverse Pea! I will be 66 in December 2022, and my Filipina wife Ling will be 58 in November this year. People have said to me "Why didn't you get a newer model?". Sos pastilan gyud! Also, in less than two months after we met online (courtesy of her younger sister who I met in my hometown in Australia), she came and stayed with me for three months, and we married in my hometown in Australia in June 2017. She couldn't handle the Aussie winter, so I retired and joined her in the Philippines in late August 2017. My adult son and daughter in Australia were OK with this, but some members of my family were not so happy. However, we've lived here in Cagayan de Oro City Mindanao for five years now and we understand each other and love each other deeply. Of course at our age there is no question of having children together. I have always said that it's love and mutual understanding and trust that are most important. We have all of this!
It's great to hear from people who have found happiness, even if others don't understand. Thank you for bringing their story to all of us! Take good care!😊
Pea: This story hits the soft spots in people's hearts! John seems like what would be the "average" Canadian pre-1980. Respectful, caring, and very protective of the ones he cares about. All typical things pre-1980 men from Canada. If you give a Canadian man that is in that age range loyalty, compassion, and respect, He'll use his last bit of energy protecting you, and making sure that you know that he cares and respects you the same way. As a Canadian man in my 50's, I know many guys around my age and older that are the same way. At the same time, we are mindful of respecting others, we really don't care what other's opinions of us are, because we know who we are inside. As much as we just let other's negative opinions brush off of us, we don't put up with people insulting those that we care about, and will deal with it accordingly. We may be known to be a peaceful country, but don't let that fool you when it comes to protecting those that we care about, we can get pretty ferocious in defending our loved one's honor. It didn't surprise me that even in his 60's, john backed off 7 younger men to defend Jessa's honor. It's what we do for the ones we love. They seem like a great couple, and if you talk to them again, tell them I wish them a great many years of happiness and love together.
Hi Pea, I really liked today’s vid. I guess there is some magic left in the world. John and Jessa are both lucky and lovely people. You did a great interview as usual. You showed how love can flourish even in an unlikely relationship. I love your little black dress too. Thanks for the beautiful insight. Albuquerque Mike
Large age gaps do work just fine. Filipinas seem to adapt very well to the age gap. There is another channel, American Filipina Destiny, where the Filipina is 35 and the American is 76! They seem to get along very well.
I am American, my wife is a Filipina, I married her in 2004. We have been married for 18 years and still going strong. It worked in our case and the love was and still is real. She is 38, I am 76, but look and act more like 45 to 50. I am Healthy and have no bad health issues. We now live in Bogo City, Cebu, Philippines
It's a great story 🎉. I find that a lot of us have a similar story. My Filipina wife was 28, and I was 42. We've been married 12yrs now. It's an amazing marriage ❤
15 year age difference between my Filipina wife and I. Together 8 years, married for 6. 3 beautiful daughters. Life with a Filipina by your side just keeps getting better the longer it goes.
I'm happy for them. The maturity and wisdom of him, and the innocence her in the beginning. I love it. So awesome to hear of a success story instead of the drama that fills RUclips between men and women these days. Thanks for sharing P.
Your interview with Jessa and John is absolutely delightful, Pea! Listening to them discuss their marriage with you, it seems that they are both winners of life's lottery! As a bonus, they are very likeable people.
I can't help but believe that money is still the motivation for these cross-continental relationships. Even John set up an account! I've been in the Philippines, I've seen the poverty. I had a girlfriend while I was there. I learned much from her.
It's called "security" She take care of him and when he passes away she will get a good sum of money and she will still be young. He was sending her 1000 AUS every 2 weeks in the beginning. You can have love for each other in many ways. Aslong everybody is happy then there is nothing wrong with it.
So if you listen to social media western women will want $2,000 per WEEK and they spend it all. So instead he found love with a frugal woman who saved that money. Much better.
In my humble opinion...this video may be the best video you have ever done! The love between the three of you especially Jessa and John, simply flows. Wishing you all well. Thank you...all three of you...
My ex-Pinay and I were only 12 years apart, but she looked MUCH younger. She was 40 but looked 25. We got a lot of sideways looks, and my mother always insisted she was lying about her age, even though I had all of her paperwork including birth cert.
I have news for you. Many filipinas fake their age to come to the west. I know of at least 2 of them right here in Toronto. The paperwork only means something for immigration purposes 🤫🤫
Pea, you've done several videos on this topic. It is a great topic. I think marriage is challenging whether your culture, religion, color, age, etc., are the same, or the polar opposite. I am married to a Filipina 1/2 my age. Love and attraction is super strong. However, we struggle like any marriage. It takes patience, unselfishness, commitment, faithfulness, and loyalty. Marriage is a union where you go to GIVE, not take. I think the magic spark exists for a lot of reasons, but for many Filipina's, they want what most women want and that is a faithful and responsible man who will love and protect them and take care of life. Men want love and respect and to be taken care of too; sincerely. Traditional values are attractive. Age is just a number.
Amazing video Pea. Wow, you really asked some pointed questions. I think Jessa and John are very lucky and possibly in the minority as far as long lasting relationship combined with a short courtship. I think John should have advised her about the vasectomy before proposing. I'm very glad everything worked out for them. Catch you Tuesday morning. I was raised in the military and served in the Navy. Old habits die hard, so I was already up for a couple of hours. My wife on the other hand is not a morning person and doesn't get up for until 3 to 4 hours after I do. Take care.
I am from the USA and my wife is Venezuelan, but our story is much the same. They are both very lucky and so am I. Luck favors those who take action, however...
I'm an Australian & I met my fiancee on the internet around three years ago. I am 59 & my future wife is a beautiful 22 year old. I visited her in the phillipines during June 2022 & spent three weeks with her in tacloban, which was great. She is now visiting me in Australia for three months after a false start in the phillipines as we didn’t have the correct paperwork & we will marry while she is here. At the end of the day, age is just a number & we just have to take a risk in life to try & make our own happiness.
Thank you Pea for yet another interesting, and charming video! Some people have all the luck! It is a credit to Filipinas, clearly demonstrating, if need was, that they are not only just gorgeous women, but also how lovely, generous, kind, faithful and honest they are. Those alliances, circumstances are more frequent than it seems. I have a lovely, wonderful dear friend who is married to a pensioner nearly three time her age, and she is very happy indeed. As John says those foreigners have won the lottery and should be eternally grateful and thankful to their wife/companions. I guess that many would love to know John’ seduction secret! Being single is a very lonely and depressing way of life. So, if he could bottle it and sell it, he will become a millionaire overnight ! The best of luck and happiness to Jessa and John, and to you dear Pea for your always amazing channel. 😃❤️
Being a hopeless romantic, it's great to see that magic still happens. Thank you for sharing I really enjoy your interviews, they're really cute. Looking forward to your next video
What a wonderful May-December relationship. I would have these two over for dinner any time of the week! The only question I have is "how is the relationship between Jessa and John's kids?"
I am 42 from USA waiting to fly to the Philippines in the 3 to 4 yrs I want to make sure I am set up for life for my new life. I can’t wait. Pea thank you for your videos..😊
I think the people who judge couples like them are just envious! I will never understand why people are so concerned with what other people are doing. It's none of their friggin business! She is still looking like 21 and I am glad John is happy!
No thinking, that is the case. They are single & miserable. Can't remember the last person to they had sex with or what they had for lunch yesterday. Americans love to judge others and West Europeans are picking up that bad habit.
That was very heart warming, and encouraging. I have found so many scammers and fake accounts on the two dating sites I tried, it is reassuring to hear of a genuine success story.
It’s a business transaction. She’s smart but realizes that she will be with grandpa and have to close her eyes and fantasize that she’s sleeping with an attractive man. She’s willing to do this because of her obvious lack of opportunities in the Philippines to find a young attractive man that can provide a good life and opportunity for her future. He’s fully aware that he a young Filipina that he needs to provide a stable life too and purchase things that she would have never had if she remained in Philippines like a car, a house, nice clothes and more.
Wow same age gap with us. My husband and I have 38 years age gap 🙂 age doesn't matter when it comes n love as long as you respect and understand each other. You can't see the age when you love someone
Great life story Miss Pea. In situations like this all the alarm bells go off in my head. So many “ What ifs” but it seems like their relationship is working out. Good for them. Love conquers all.
After 14 years, I'd call it a success. There is no issue with dating a younger woman. It is all about the connection, and they have one. I've gotten grief when I've dated a younger woman, like I'm crazy, and still do when I talk about it. I don't care though, if it works, why not.
Mostly older women complain when men date younger women. A lot of it's the fact that the older women are either widowed, divorced, have ran off the men in their life or have children who have grown up and started their own lives and have trouble with the fact that they may grow old and possibly die alone.
@@travelseatsyellowlab Older women (especially Western/American women) have too much mileage, or shall I say baggage to deal with. What man wants to deal with that!
Wonderful story Pea. Best wishes for John and Jessa 😍. Their story is very similar in many ways to mine and my wife Sharon's story. The main difference is we chose to stay in the Philippines. It may change, but it is definitely not the plan at this time. Initially we planned for Sharon to immediately immigrate to Canada where I lived, but looking at the longer road ahead we decided otherwise. Many many of their experiences were almost exactly like ours. My family and friends back in Canada slowly but surely finally came to accept us. Now they all love Sharon and her (our) little boy Shawn very much and are very happy for us all.
First Congratulations John and Jessa on your relationship and many more years together. For Ms Pea another great video on relationships on how they can work and what to watch for. You don't pull punches and are so honest. John and Jessa thank you for sharing a part of your life with us.
Without watching the entire video, I would say that such a large age gap would doom a relationship. I'm basing this on the differing levels of energy, experience, education, culture, needs, and expectations. My wife is only a few years older than I am, but we have our moments relating to these concerns.
Not necessarily, this is the exact same age gap between me and my gf, but she's American...old fashion to a degree, not completely but in some ways, it's all how they were brought up and the role the parents played in their upbringing.
@@pubwvj agreed....a whole lot of judgement just based on personal experience. I've dated with women 20 years age gap and the gap wasn't the issue....EVER.
Great show Pea, John is my hero, this is an adorable love story. You asked many great questions and John and Jessa offered good answers and even their own comments regarding personal opinions and feelings. I hope for continued long success and happiness for them, and that John is able to remain sharp, healthy and entertaining for Jessa. That such a life experience truly benefits Jessa for the many years she has to look forward to. I will message you a comment more personal regarding this segment. Thanks again for sharing Pea.
You really do seek out the best stories Pea 😊 What a great couple and above all…proof that miracles can happen. I’m a great believer in fate - maybe this was just meant to be, against all the odds. It gives us all a little hope 💜
A nice story to watch before the weekend. I'm glad that they've been happily married for 14 years and I wish them many more happy years together. I think one of the main issues with things like age gap relationships is perception. We have an expression about looking at things with rose tinted glasses which basically means allowing nostalgia to colour your impression of something. You may watch a TV program you loved as a child and because of that, even as an adult, you will gloss over its flaws. Similarly when you grow up in a culture where age gap relationships are not very common your perception is that an age gap relationship is weird and somehow wrong. Another expression is that to understand somebody you should walk a mile in their shoes, however in the majority of our daily interactions we only view matters from our own perspective and don't consider how things are for others. I saw another video about feminists reactions to men dating Filipinas and it occurred to me that the women who were calling it disgusting were making the false assumption that the Filipinas were exactly like them and therefore being exploited. They clearly had no concept of culture or any of the range of different issues in the Philippines. Again this is people having a false perception of reality. I could go on a lot longer but I think I'll stop here and just wish you and your viewers a great weekend.
Speaking from the point of view of a devout cynic, I believe their story. I think they are the real deal! It's a very nice story that needed to be shared to offset some of the critics. BTW: I love the look you are going for today. It's very fetching.
this is what clearly sets people who were with the BPO industry, level 1 listening and asking relevant questions based on the answers and not just blabbering about.
What an awesome love and life story this couple has! May God bless you both from Rob and Grace--my Filipina wife that I've been with for over 10 years, we met when she was 27 and I was 46. I always say "God gave me Grace!"❤❤
What a great story Pea and i could see even you were happy for them, great to see them make a success & they seem so very happy together, good luck and many blessings to them, God bless and keep the great videos coming.
Thanks Pea, That was interresting. I have always felt in my heart that age does not matter. I understand there is a lot to consider dating or marrying a Partner with a large age gap. Sometimes in life things happen for a reason and those 2 were meant to be.
I had a situation just like theirs and the story goes, I joined a Filipina looking Foreigners dating group on Facebook. All of sudden, I get a message from a 62 year old Filipina woman and she was talking about me being her life partner and all that. But, I had to turn her down nicely because of the age gap. Plus, I was looking for someone around my age between 32 and 45.
I just found out her husband died last year since this video was made. She stayed by his side for 4 months in the hosptal 24/7 until he passed. What love and respect. My prayers go out to them and their families
Exactly, Robert! She proved her love and devotion until the end, and yet ignorant people will still say ‘she did it for the money’ even though she was the one earning their money for years, and could have left him any time she wanted 😳👍
@TheFilipinaPea Thanks for your response Pea. Such a sweet couple ... brought tears to my eyes.
Awe I am so sorry
💔💔💔 it brings faith back to me in the human race 😭😭😭 Love this story ❤️♥️💖💕

My Wonderful Wife Is 24 Years Younger Than I !...She Has Proved Her Value In This Mans Life Ssso Many Times ,Through Thick and Thin ,She Looks Forward , And With Tireless Enthusiasm !!! 20 Years Married To My Wonderful Wife From Leyte ❤
I’m a Mexican women, met my American husband when I was 19. He’s in his late 50s now and I’m 28. Still together. As long as there’s true love, respect and cooperation between the two, relationship will blossom. I know it, trust me. We’re both happy to have each other. Have faith in god.
[ ] My dad was 24, my mom 14 when their parents arranged their marriage. It was taboo for Mom being a kid and she was reluctant but she had no choice. Long story short, we were 13 siblings. There's such a thing as love begets love even in today's older foreigner and a kid Filipina, but they're the exemption. It's usually to upgrade the life of the young Filipina, even her family benefits but it's not always the case. A woman looking for financial security is a woman thing, not exclusive to poor Filipinas. Young Filipinas abandoning the marriage in later life is always wrong and her youth is not a valid reason but on the part of the foreigner, it should be considered as always a possibility. At the end of the day, it's on the foreigners' choice whether to pursue a married life with a wife young enough to be his daughter and take the risk. Nothing that a woman can do if he doesn't wanna be with her. Also, all marriages are not without risks.
There still arranged marriages in Mexico. My grandma was 14 and my grandpa 18 when they got married. Had 12 kids. All married now with children. Grandpa came from Italian father who migrated to Mexico, fell in love with my great grandma. My grandparents were together till grandpa died of osteoporosis about 12 years ago in his early 70s. I met my husband through a relative, he’s just a friendly guy, with big heart, and very intelligent. It comes down to character; your values, morals and work ethic that your parents and family demonstrated and shared with you that will determine your choices in life and how well you will treat other people. For me it has nothing to do with society unless you allow it. My grandpa did not allow tv or radio in home. Everyone worked in the farm as a family. I guess you could say we lived in a bubble of our own creation. I am blessed to have many good memories from my family. But I know a lot of people don’t have that guidance. I feel that’s where God comes in to show us the way, if we have faith. You will never be alone with God. A part of god is within us.
but what r u going to do when he dies WAY before you though?
Latinas use to be the very best wives, today maybe they are like America Ladies that demand full control, nothing wrong with trying?
that is so true, it is so nice to hear from a woman's point of view ok hehe

I changed my mind. THIS LOOKS LIKE A GREAT RELATIONSHIP. Good for them!!
I married my Filipina wife when I was 44 and she was 37. There is not an extreme age difference as you see in some relationships. we have been married for 17 years now. Before we got married, we both decided that we wanted our house to be peaceful. We could discuss things, we can have disagreements, but we promised each other we would never fight . We have kept that promise. I have had enough of that in my life (fighting). The core value that we both have is love and respect. In my mind, you can’t have one without the other.
God bless both of you two 🙏 ❤️. Keep going
I was twice my wife's age (50/25) when we first met. After 4 visits on the 5th (a month each, over 5 years) we were married. 5 years later, we are prepping for our 5th Annv. We have had our problems here and there, but work through them. Mostly we fill the needs of each other. We both wanted what are now considered "old fashioned" values and a partner who fulfilled those roles still. She is spoiled rotten, and I am as well. So far, so good.
Best of luck to the both of you ❤️❤️❤️

😃👍
Yours are pretty close to opening the envelope. Its still acceptable in many traditional cultures. Maybe a 10 to 15 year gap between an older man and a younger woman is ideal. A very mature man with good finances should marry a younger woman at their fertile age to have babies. An older man can help a woman mature faster because women mature earlier than men. Other than that it is about financials and a caregiver for a very old man in the future. There can never be that young passionate love and romance these women will miss from a 3 to 5 year age gap in between. These things are the lives young women will regret missing out later on. Sure, some kind of love may develop between huge gap couples depending on the needs being met. But for me, a very old man who wants a young wife simply for selfish reasons should not be doing it. Neither should the young woman. Loneliness is part of our human condition. It is what it is. One can be alone, not be lonely and be content. But each to his own. At the end of the day its not anybody's business. I can't help expressing my opinion though because I want to understand the stimuli of human actions and relationships.

I can see the look in Jessa's Eyes the respect, love and affection she has for John. So sad he passed away, what an absolute angel she is.
This is the first and ONLY couple I have ever seen on RUclips that seem to be truly happy and in love with each other and totally respect each other. It's nice to see this is possible to happen.
In 1964, Dad, an immigrant laborer who worked his whole life in the fields, married Mom from Phil. He was 69, she was 29. Within 5 years, he brought her to US, used a CalVet home loan, had 4 kids, and he died. Mom became a single mother, filed for welfare, and had little English. We relied on extended family, SSA/VA, and we survived. And Mom is 88.

Well, she has only been in Canada for two years. The marriage is basically over. See my comment nearby.

Love it! My daughter (30 years old) refuses to speak to me since I have been with a younger pinay. She is 28 and I am 50. Sad situation but I am as blessed as John is. BTW we are on our 11th year together and NO regrets!
I say once you've raised your kids to adulthood you've done your job and you get to start living for yourself. It's sad your daughter isn't more supportive but she will eventually come around if she wants to have a relationship with you.
Send her a video of 50cent at hiring with his son. His son gets $6700 a month as a allowance but wants $25,000 a month, the son is 25 years old.
It’s not the same, but it’s funny. Both you daughter and 50’s kid, are entitled brats.
Find a good video and send it to her. Say 50’s son reminds me of you.
XO Dad
Cus she can see likley the kids is goofed rude idiot… and see might see she’s being the same.
If being nice doesn’t work… sarcasm might.
Lastly, the Bible says your job is to give “respect” not love. And that’s back n forth. She’s not respecting you.
I’m not saying obey the Bible, I’m saying it’s nice to see it written. Old Testament / Torah.
So she was 17 when you got together?
This western culture is so messed up. I bet if you had told her you were gay she would be more accepting than a normal man and woman age gap relationship that has existed for hundreds of years.
Think about your happiness
Well that there is how a relationship should work. They seem genuinely happy, and they aren't letting others bring them down. Congrats to them
There's a 36-year difference between my wife and I. She's Filippino. There's never been an age issue between us. She appreciates I treat her like a queen, and she has a better lifestyle and many more opportunities with me. She's pretty and she feels I'm handsome. We're both Catholic and I love the Philippine Catholic faith.
I met my Filipino wife when she was 18 and I was 59. We married the next year and we live in Australia and now have 3 children together. Have been married over 6 years now and I am retired and stay home to raise the kids while my wife now an Australian citizen is studying nursing.
I first came to the Philippines in 1987 while working for the Navy at Subic. I married/divorced several times between my 1st marriage in 1973 and my last divorce in 2004. Not all relationships work out no matter what the age difference. I retired in 2007 and spent time in the Philippines and Thailand. In 2009 I had enough of Thailand and moved to Angeles City. Shortly after I had a girl that I had met back in 2008 in the Philippines move in with me. She is 32 years younger than me. In 2011 we married in the Philippines (she was 29). We then started toggling back and forth between the PI and the US. She became a US citizen in 2017. We built a house in her hometown of Sibonga, Cebu - but have been in Florida since Covid. We are live with my parents (ages 96 and 98), who would otherwise be in a nursing home. We have been together for over 13 years now and everything is wonderful. Age doesn't matter when you're young at heart and have the same interests.

Hi Stephen
OMG, she looks now about 25 years old - I can just imagine how young she appeared when they met.. I'm 58 years now, she still looks like a baby to me. but glad to hear and see that they have succeeded.
I'm 18 years older than my wife. She was 24 and I was 42 when we married in Philippines. I told her I was poor and that I had no job or money. She did not care whatsoever, she was still into me. I did not tell her that I made a lot of money in high tech, and was living off my savings at the time, just taking a break from the tech world. I also did not mention that I come from a wealthy family. I told her my family was also poor. Later, only after our marriage, I revealed the truth to her. I know, kind of dishonest, but I heard all the horror stories and I wanted to test her. To see if she was a gold-digger. We have been married over 17 yeas now. She is honest, loyal, and straight as an arrow.

Very smart. I'm happy for you.

HAhha I bet she knew. And to girls from poorer countries just being a westerner means you have more money.
My wife and I have a 40 years age gap ; we have been together for 15 years and we are still deeply in love with each other. As for our families, it was complicated in the beginning but now that they can see that it is working so well, not only have they accepted it, but they are openly admiring us and citing us as examples of a successful marriage 🥰.
Awesome story brother! Talk about social constructs, age gaps mean nothing to the people who are in love. It only matters to the people who you to conform to their social construct.
Hope it's still great when you're a demrntia-ridden 85 year old and she's still a 45 year old hottie.

I love to hear stories like this one. I met my Filipina on a dating site. I was really nervous about our age difference at first, as she is 29 and I am 56. I learned very quickly that she genuinely liked me for me and not for what I could do for her. I was able to go and meet her in Dumaguete for the first time last month after dating for about 6 months. I was very nervous at first, but she was so wonderful that our being together felt natural. She is amazing. Our relationship has grown stronger since the visit.
Congratulations to John & Jessa! My Filipina (age 22) sent me (age 52) a friend invite on Facebook in September of 2011. I went to see her in the Philippines in April 2012, and we married just three weeks later. Nine months later in January of 2013, our first child was born. In April of 2013, my wife and daughter arrived here in America. Our second child (son) was born in January of 2015 and our third child (son) was born in August of 2022. We have now been married for about 10 1/2 years. She is 33 and I'm 63. Life is good and getting better every day. Oh, and I'm never, ever, ever going to get a vasectomy! 🙂
Good for you brother. Keep them coming!

This guy is my new hero
Too much reaching, you oldie.. Just don't complain when she leaves.
I came to Thailand when I was 65. My first Thai wife was 25 years younger than me. She died of cancer after 6 years of a lovely marriage together.
I met another Thai woman. She was 24. There is a 48 year age gap. We have been together now for a good 7 years.
There are up's and downs the same as in any marriage. We get on great. Her family are fantastic.
There has never been a problem from Thai people.
We have never been back to my country. But I can imagine the thoughts and remarks if we did.
My advice to people in the same situation. Think hard and talk together about it together.
I can only wish who ever you are and where ever you. All the very best and much happiness.
One other thing.
You need to talk about have children or not and if there could be any consequences for your wife in the future re money and can she raise the children on her own.
Because you will most likely die before her.
Thank you very much Pea. I love your video's. And I am sure they are a great help to many. Not only are you beautiful. You have a good brain too.. Take care love.

Getting a young chick is easy. Keeping her is much more difficult. Once she marries and realizes she can get just as much by divorcing him, she'll conclude that she's been abused or taken advantage of by an old, flabby man. And the whamen will cheer her on in destroying him.
A beautiful story! I am married to an American for almost 13 yrs now, and we have 7 yrs old son. My husband is a nicest and responsible guy. I also experienced some "marites" thing at the start of our relationship, but i just ignored all those. If you know and feel in your heart that he is the one, go for it! The first time I met and saw my husband in the airport, i never felt butterfly in stomach, not excitement, nor kilig! All I felt was peace, comfort, and be my self (no pretentions). And i remember my grandma's advice. That you will know if the person is the one or destined to be with you, if you feel peace when are with him/her.
Thanks, Pea! Your vlog is very informative. Me and my husband always watching your content!
My Filipina wife and I have a 34 year age gap. We've been married over 8 years now and have a 4 year old daughter. I'm 63 and she's 29.

She's playing a long game. When you croak in 20 years time she will still be a young looking 49, can live off your money with her new bloke & her folks will have been taken care of for a few decades. But hey, you think you've won a prize.

I met a Filipina when I was 56. She was 33. We have been a couple for almost 5 years. The age gap has never been an issue. It may be an issue when I am too old to keep up with her, but we both were far more focussed on the good available in the present than a possible issue in the future. I must admit that the thought of dying before we have a full life is one I do not enjoy, but as I said, why run from ghosts that are not yet even born.
Well said!
You have thoughts about going at 56?!? Dude… you’re still young
All I can say is no risk, no gain. Once in a while it works out. I just would not bank on it. It all depends on the individuals. These two seem to be rather exceptional. Lots of respect and humility. Enjoyed this interview a lot!
Once in awhile? K1 divorce rate is 30%. Doing it like the majority of morons do it in the US is 50%
John and Jessa are becoming celebrities , many RUclipsrs are interviewing them. I enjoy them very much , hope and pray you guys stay together for ever.

Thank you very much Filipina Pea. This video was extremely inspirational, because I will be marrying a Filipina soon, she is now 20 and I am 65. She was the one who found me, and made it so clear that age was not an issue with her, as it was with me. I stayed at her mother's home for over 3 months. I just got back to America in October 2022. Now I am in the process of petitioning her to be here with me.

You better not be broke!
Good luck in your future. I’m sure you will be as happy as she is now!
omg she is more than beautiful . she is charming gentle and kind, if only I could read minds , money seems to be at the center of the subject.
look after each other is honorable . marriage is honorable , Good for Jessa and John !
Money is what people first assume, but she makes much more than him 👍😊
so nice to see and hear a couple who have managed to make the marriage work....Jessa is truly a credit to her parents and she chose to commit as did John to a relationship that was meant to be...their honesty is refreshing to see that they face their future with eyes wide open, beautiful interview and best wishes to both of them for years to come ....shows age is not a barrier for happiness if given a chance, truly magic and refreshing to hear instead of the collapse stories..............
I wonder how many times has Jessa’s family asked to send them BALIKBAYAN boxes since she came to Canada in 2020!
It’s understandable how families react to such an unusual circumstance. But great to see they, as two people have turned to each other and rallied through. It’s a great story, thank you for posting
Age is a number .......I'm 63 this October.....and have personal bests in weightlifting at 62 .....I've worked out my whole life and am stronger ....more then ever ......
Same here. 62. Still feel the same as 25. Always been very physically active. Farm, build and butcher. People mistake me for half my age. My wife thought I was 30 when we met. No wrinkles. Healthy diet, no drugs, alcohol or smoking coupled with good genetics.
The love they share is truly genuine and special. Usually, ppl who judge about being a gold digger are just jealous...
that was a FANTASTIC interview. the sheer fact they have been together this long speaks volumes. Now if i could just find my gorgeous young sugar momma. Congratulations to both. I am going to subscribe to her channel.
Thanks! For bringing this interview to the world
Thanks so very much for your support, Jon! It means a lot ❤️
Wow Pea, thanks so much for this story! I am currently in a relationship with a Colombian woman and we have the same age gap. I met her online shortly before I visited Colombia. I was going to visit a friend that lives there in Bogota and coincidentally my gf also lives in Bogota. I had no expectations other than just meeting her as we hit it off online so well. Anyway, we met for dinner after talking for a little over 1 month online and it was just magic for us. I stayed in Bogota on that trip for 2 weeks and we spent most of that time together. We were both so sad when I had to go home. That was in July and I had a trip to the Philippines planned for September. After I got home I felt the need to return to Colombia and see if this thing with her was real. So, after talking to her about it I changed my flights and returned to Colombia for the month of September. We spent most of the month together, she has a job so we couldn't spend every moment with each other but we did end up going to the Caribbean for a whole week at a resort on the beach. So, now we are officially a couple. I have told my grown daughter about her and yes my daughter is much older than my gf. I have met some of her family and so far no one has had a problem with our relationship. The only person we haven't told yet is her mother. They have some unrelated issues that they recently resolved. So, she is waiting until she feels like those issues won't cause more trouble or an overreaction on her mother's part. We text all day and video call most nights. She has never asked me for money or presented any of the red flags I look for. I am happy and she seems to also be very happy. So, seeing the couple in your video gives me hope. My biggest fear is that as I get older she would be saddled with an old man to take care of but the folks in your video seem happy still after 14 years. So, I hope we can have the same result.
Yeah man I know the worries you have
no no don't do it in columbia. Filipinas have been raised to sacrifice everything for their families and for God. They are not raised to pursue their own happiness. That is why many of these relationships work. Things are VERY different with latinas. You are making a big mistake
My condolences and sympathy goes out to Jessa, you could tell that she really loved him!! Best of wishes to her in the future.
The body language, in this video, is good between this couple. And their rhetorical give-&-take is positive.
Exactly, Marty 👍❤️
Thank you Pea. I'm 30 years older than the Filipina I met online. I'll be moving to the Philippines in December to finally meet her. It's great to hear the perspective of a Filipina. Thanks very mych.
How long have you been communicating, RJ? 😊❤️
@@TheFilipinaPea we connected last May on Facebook and started our LDR in July. We're coming up on our 15th monthsary.. I'll be retiring in the Philippines starting in December.
What a truly beautiful story, two beautiful people.

she is a real sweet heart and so is he. i thank Jesus in His Amazing Grace for them, amen
You're brilliant, Miss.
God bless you and your work.
I am a single black man living in Canada and I am 55yrs old.. and I am looking for a sexy young Filipina in her early 20's to build a great life with.
There is only one reason she got with him, MONEY!!!!!
Pea are you married?
My wife and I are the reverse Pea! I will be 66 in December 2022, and my Filipina wife Ling will be 58 in November this year. People have said to me "Why didn't you get a newer model?". Sos pastilan gyud! Also, in less than two months after we met online (courtesy of her younger sister who I met in my hometown in Australia), she came and stayed with me for three months, and we married in my hometown in Australia in June 2017. She couldn't handle the Aussie winter, so I retired and joined her in the Philippines in late August 2017. My adult son and daughter in Australia were OK with this, but some members of my family were not so happy. However, we've lived here in Cagayan de Oro City Mindanao for five years now and we understand each other and love each other deeply. Of course at our age there is no question of having children together. I have always said that it's love and mutual understanding and trust that are most important. We have all of this!
I am so happy for them . She truly is genuine. And they seem to get along well... ❤ there’s hope for me too as I’m 63 but very healthy..
It's great to hear from people who have found happiness, even if others don't understand. Thank you for bringing their story to all of us!
Take good care!😊
Pea:
This story hits the soft spots in people's hearts!
John seems like what would be the "average" Canadian pre-1980. Respectful, caring, and very protective of the ones he cares about. All typical things pre-1980 men from Canada.
If you give a Canadian man that is in that age range loyalty, compassion, and respect, He'll use his last bit of energy protecting you, and making sure that you know that he cares and respects you the same way.
As a Canadian man in my 50's, I know many guys around my age and older that are the same way. At the same time, we are mindful of respecting others, we really don't care what other's opinions of us are, because we know who we are inside. As much as we just let other's negative opinions brush off of us, we don't put up with people insulting those that we care about, and will deal with it accordingly. We may be known to be a peaceful country, but don't let that fool you when it comes to protecting those that we care about, we can get pretty ferocious in defending our loved one's honor. It didn't surprise me that even in his 60's, john backed off 7 younger men to defend Jessa's honor. It's what we do for the ones we love.
They seem like a great couple, and if you talk to them again, tell them I wish them a great many years of happiness and love together.
Hi Pea, I really liked today’s vid. I guess there is some magic left in the world.
John and Jessa are both lucky and lovely people.
You did a great interview as usual. You showed how love can flourish even in an unlikely relationship.
I love your little black dress too.
Thanks for the beautiful insight.
Albuquerque Mike
You sir are a good man with outstanding and brave values!
@@bluefeather505 Well said but more importantly, lived. Thank you sir.
Their marriage will be over in less than a year. See my comment nearby.
He's Scottish.
Large age gaps do work just fine. Filipinas seem to adapt very well to the age gap. There is another channel, American Filipina Destiny, where the Filipina is 35 and the American is 76! They seem to get along very well.
I am American, my wife is a Filipina, I married her in 2004. We have been married for 18 years and still going strong. It worked in our case and the love was and still is real. She is 38, I am 76, but look and act more like 45 to 50. I am Healthy and have no bad health issues. We now live in Bogo City, Cebu, Philippines
It's a great story 🎉. I find that a lot of us have a similar story. My Filipina wife was 28, and I was 42. We've been married 12yrs now. It's an amazing marriage ❤
15 year age difference between my Filipina wife and I. Together 8 years, married for 6. 3 beautiful daughters.
Life with a Filipina by your side just keeps getting better the longer it goes.
I'm happy for them. The maturity and wisdom of him, and the innocence her in the beginning. I love it. So awesome to hear of a success story instead of the drama that fills RUclips between men and women these days.
Thanks for sharing P.
Your interview with Jessa and John is absolutely delightful, Pea! Listening to them discuss their marriage with you, it seems that they are both winners of life's lottery! As a bonus, they are very likeable people.
She’s winning the lottery in a few years alright. 💰💶
I can't help but believe that money is still the motivation for these cross-continental relationships. Even John set up an account! I've been in the Philippines, I've seen the poverty. I had a girlfriend while I was there. I learned much from her.
It's called "security"
She take care of him and when he passes away she will get a good sum of money and she will still be young.
He was sending her 1000 AUS every 2 weeks in the beginning.
You can have love for each other in many ways. Aslong everybody is happy then there is nothing wrong with it.
So if you listen to social media western women will want $2,000 per WEEK and they spend it all. So instead he found love with a frugal woman who saved that money. Much better.
In my humble opinion...this video may be the best video you have ever done! The love between the three of you especially Jessa and John, simply flows. Wishing you all well. Thank you...all three of you...
My ex-Pinay and I were only 12 years apart, but she looked MUCH younger. She was 40 but looked 25. We got a lot of sideways looks, and my mother always insisted she was lying about her age, even though I had all of her paperwork including birth cert.
Hahahahaha
That’s funny 😂
Even when presented with the truth!
😂😂
I have news for you. Many filipinas fake their age to come to the west. I know of at least 2 of them right here in Toronto. The paperwork only means something for immigration purposes 🤫🤫
Hal Horton, I don't mean to pry, but why is she your ex?
Jealous of her youthful looks, perhaps?
lol what you mean with expinay? you broke up?
Pea, you've done several videos on this topic. It is a great topic. I think marriage is challenging whether your culture, religion, color, age, etc., are the same, or the polar opposite. I am married to a Filipina 1/2 my age. Love and attraction is super strong. However, we struggle like any marriage. It takes patience, unselfishness, commitment, faithfulness, and loyalty. Marriage is a union where you go to GIVE, not take. I think the magic spark exists for a lot of reasons, but for many Filipina's, they want what most women want and that is a faithful and responsible man who will love and protect them and take care of life. Men want love and respect and to be taken care of too; sincerely. Traditional values are attractive. Age is just a number.
Amazing video Pea. Wow, you really asked some pointed questions. I think Jessa and John are very lucky and possibly in the minority as far as long lasting relationship combined with a short courtship. I think John should have advised her about the vasectomy before proposing. I'm very glad everything worked out for them. Catch you Tuesday morning. I was raised in the military and served in the Navy. Old habits die hard, so I was already up for a couple of hours. My wife on the other hand is not a morning person and doesn't get up for until 3 to 4 hours after I do. Take care.
Yes, I admit I was pretty brutal 😂
I appreciate how open and cooperative they were. Kudos to them 👍
I am from the USA and my wife is Venezuelan, but our story is much the same. They are both very lucky and so am I. Luck favors those who take action, however...
I'm an Australian & I met my fiancee on the internet around three years ago. I am 59 & my future wife is a beautiful 22 year old. I visited her in the phillipines during June 2022 & spent three weeks with her in tacloban, which was great. She is now visiting me in Australia for three months after a false start in the phillipines as we didn’t have the correct paperwork & we will marry while she is here. At the end of the day, age is just a number & we just have to take a risk in life to try & make our own happiness.
Thank you Pea for yet another interesting, and charming video!
Some people have all the luck!
It is a credit to Filipinas, clearly demonstrating, if need was, that they are not only just gorgeous women, but also how lovely, generous, kind, faithful and honest they are.
Those alliances, circumstances are more frequent than it seems.
I have a lovely, wonderful dear friend who is married to a pensioner nearly three time her age, and she is very happy indeed.
As John says those foreigners have won the lottery and should be eternally grateful and thankful to their wife/companions.
I guess that many would love to know John’ seduction secret!
Being single is a very lonely and depressing way of life.
So, if he could bottle it and sell it, he will become a millionaire overnight !
The best of luck and happiness to Jessa and John, and to you dear Pea for your always amazing channel. 😃❤️
Being a hopeless romantic, it's great to see that magic still happens. Thank you for sharing I really enjoy your interviews, they're really cute. Looking forward to your next video
What a wonderful May-December relationship. I would have these two over for dinner any time of the week! The only question I have is "how is the relationship between Jessa and John's kids?"
Darn it, I forgot to ask!!! 🙄😔
Sweet, pretty and productive wife. I'm glad it's working out for them. This dude is my teen idol. Best wishes to you both.
I am 42 from USA waiting to fly to the Philippines in the 3 to 4 yrs I want to make sure I am set up for life for my new life. I can’t wait. Pea thank you for your videos..😊
Beautiful story Pea. Love ❤️ is where it's at no matter the age.
I agree, Ralph 👍👍👍
I think the people who judge couples like them are just envious! I will never understand why people are so concerned with what other people are doing. It's none of their friggin business! She is still looking like 21 and I am glad John is happy!
No thinking, that is the case. They are single & miserable. Can't remember the last person to they had sex with or what they had for lunch yesterday.
Americans love to judge others and West Europeans are picking up that bad habit.
Thank you for your input, because I am 58 and my beautiful filipino is 22. She is the love of my life ♥️ and I am her first boyfriend
Well said! Amazing how so many offer nothing but negatively towards others that are happy with their relationships.
In the west, it's the old biddies that really hate it. Nobody wants them. All they've got is 5 cats.
That was very heart warming, and encouraging. I have found so many scammers and fake accounts on the two dating sites I tried, it is reassuring to hear of a genuine success story.
Ginuwine? We will see, check back in a year. It's far too early to tell.
He met her online at DIA in 2008. The women there now are quite different.
It’s a business transaction. She’s smart but realizes that she will be with grandpa and have to close her eyes and fantasize that she’s sleeping with an attractive man. She’s willing to do this because of her obvious lack of opportunities in the Philippines to find a young attractive man that can provide a good life and opportunity for her future. He’s fully aware that he a young Filipina that he needs to provide a stable life too and purchase things that she would have never had if she remained in Philippines like a car, a house, nice clothes and more.
What a great video! Out of all the countries and different women I have met….Philippine women are the best! This video gives me hope!
UNBELIEVABLE, OMG, wow, thank you for proving to me that fantastic women like this actually exist! Stunning!
Wow same age gap with us. My husband and I have 38 years age gap 🙂 age doesn't matter when it comes n love as long as you respect and understand each other. You can't see the age when you love someone
Do you guys live in PH or somewhere else?
I am genuinely happy for you po and thank you for sharing.
@@ManOfAdventure2011 yes dumaguete 😊
Your husband looks good for his age. You must be doing a good job, keeping him young
Great life story Miss Pea. In situations like this all the alarm bells go off in my head. So many “ What ifs” but it seems like their relationship is working out. Good for them. Love conquers all.
He dodged so many bullets, he could’ve starred in the Matrix 😂👍
After 14 years, I'd call it a success. There is no issue with dating a younger woman. It is all about the connection, and they have one. I've gotten grief when I've dated a younger woman, like I'm crazy, and still do when I talk about it. I don't care though, if it works, why not.
You are free to punch them in the face when they give you grief.
Mostly older women complain when men date younger women. A lot of it's the fact that the older women are either widowed, divorced, have ran off the men in their life or have children who have grown up and started their own lives and have trouble with the fact that they may grow old and possibly die alone.
@@travelseatsyellowlab TRUE
@@travelseatsyellowlab Older women (especially Western/American women) have too much mileage, or shall I say baggage to deal with. What man wants to deal with that!
Fascinating interview. I like how Pea doesn’t just ask softball questions. They seem like a happy couple.
You mean Joe Biden questions lol
Wonderful story Pea. Best wishes for John and Jessa 😍. Their story is very similar in many ways to mine and my wife Sharon's story. The main difference is we chose to stay in the Philippines. It may change, but it is definitely not the plan at this time. Initially we planned for Sharon to immediately immigrate to Canada where I lived, but looking at the longer road ahead we decided otherwise. Many many of their experiences were almost exactly like ours. My family and friends back in Canada slowly but surely finally came to accept us. Now they all love Sharon and her (our) little boy Shawn very much and are very happy for us all.
First Congratulations John and Jessa on your relationship and many more years together. For Ms Pea another great video on relationships on how they can work and what to watch for. You don't pull punches and are so honest. John and Jessa thank you for sharing a part of your life with us.
Thanks Stephen! I asked hard, blunt questions in this one, yes 👍😂
My filipina wife is older than me. But only people on the outside of the situation have opinions on age.
Exactly, Eric! They just don’t understand
👍👍👍
I was married to my ex. for 40 years & she was 8 years older than me & we got some flack back when we first married, don't let it bother U buddy.
Without watching the entire video, I would say that such a large age gap would doom a relationship. I'm basing this on the differing levels of energy, experience, education, culture, needs, and expectations. My wife is only a few years older than I am, but we have our moments relating to these concerns.
Not necessarily, this is the exact same age gap between me and my gf, but she's American...old fashion to a degree, not completely but in some ways, it's all how they were brought up and the role the parents played in their upbringing.
@@pubwvj agreed....a whole lot of judgement just based on personal experience. I've dated with women 20 years age gap and the gap wasn't the issue....EVER.
Cool, thank you for telling ppl about jessa k channel...
After viewing...i believed both of your passion for love and care ...cos both your words shows responsibility there ..thats melted me ...
Great show Pea, John is my hero, this is an adorable love story. You asked many great questions and John and Jessa offered good answers and even their own comments regarding personal opinions and feelings. I hope for continued long success and happiness for them, and that John is able to remain sharp, healthy and entertaining for Jessa. That such a life experience truly benefits Jessa for the many years she has to look forward to. I will message you a comment more personal regarding this segment. Thanks again for sharing Pea.
You really do seek out the best stories Pea 😊 What a great couple and above all…proof that miracles can happen. I’m a great believer in fate - maybe this was just meant to be, against all the odds. It gives us all a little hope 💜
They appear to be a very happy couple. Glad to see their doing well and not worried about the haters.
They seem to just say f’ it 😂👍
Good for them 😊
Interesting interview. Especially after I found out they have been happily married for about 14 years. Thank you.
Yes, that makes a huge difference 👍
It made me cry...I a black belt karate......thank you for this story....I am married to a Philippine lady who has 9 kids....I so happy
A nice story to watch before the weekend. I'm glad that they've been happily married for 14 years and I wish them many more happy years together. I think one of the main issues with things like age gap relationships is perception. We have an expression about looking at things with rose tinted glasses which basically means allowing nostalgia to colour your impression of something. You may watch a TV program you loved as a child and because of that, even as an adult, you will gloss over its flaws. Similarly when you grow up in a culture where age gap relationships are not very common your perception is that an age gap relationship is weird and somehow wrong.
Another expression is that to understand somebody you should walk a mile in their shoes, however in the majority of our daily interactions we only view matters from our own perspective and don't consider how things are for others. I saw another video about feminists reactions to men dating Filipinas and it occurred to me that the women who were calling it disgusting were making the false assumption that the Filipinas were exactly like them and therefore being exploited. They clearly had no concept of culture or any of the range of different issues in the Philippines. Again this is people having a false perception of reality.
I could go on a lot longer but I think I'll stop here and just wish you and your viewers a great weekend.
EXACTLY, Andrew! People who watch these videos often just don’t understand the cultural differences at work here 👍❤️
Pissing off KARENS and SHANEEQUAS is what PASSPORT BROS do BEST!!!
Then keep up the good work 👍😂
Speaking from the point of view of a devout cynic, I believe their story. I think they are the real deal! It's a very nice story that needed to be shared to offset some of the critics.
BTW: I love the look you are going for today. It's very fetching.
Thanks Ronald! And I think they love each other, too 👍❤️
this is what clearly sets people who were with the BPO industry, level 1 listening and asking relevant questions based on the answers and not just blabbering about.
What an awesome love and life story this couple has! May God bless you both from Rob and Grace--my Filipina wife that I've been with for over 10 years, we met when she was 27 and I was 46. I always say "God gave me Grace!"❤❤
What a great story Pea and i could see even you were happy for them, great to see them make a success & they seem so very happy together, good luck and many blessings to them, God bless and keep the great videos coming.
Thanks Brien! I’m always pleased to see other people who’ve found their happiness, whatever that means to them 👍❤️
Thanks Pea, That was interresting. I have always felt in my heart that age does not matter. I understand there is a lot to consider dating or marrying a Partner with a large age gap. Sometimes in life things happen for a reason and those 2 were meant to be.
See my comment nearby. They will be divorced in less than two years.
I had a situation just like theirs and the story goes, I joined a Filipina looking Foreigners dating group on Facebook. All of sudden, I get a message from a 62 year old Filipina woman and she was talking about me being her life partner and all that. But, I had to turn her down nicely because of the age gap. Plus, I was looking for someone around my age between 32 and 45.
Yeah there was no point to this story
@@loominatyconfirmed5774 Bro, have a heart ... old women need luv too... huh? lol
🙄😳🙄
@@red-hat-mike The reason I had to do it because I didn't want the backlash from it.
@@loominatyconfirmed5774 The point is about the age gap, but in his case the woman was significantly older than him.
such courage is so inspiering it makes one put all fear and doubts aside.Thank God for people like you two and thank you pea
He has a great sense of humor. They have great character. Good people.
