Joseph is now a father of six following four offspring from a previous relationship - Joseph, 34, Jason, 24, and Justin, 21, and daughter Jacqueline, 23.

The couple are now planning their wedding. 'We definitely get looks when we are out in public together,' Isabella admitted. 'Strangers will say to Joseph: "Are you her dad?".

Sometimes we correct them and they go quiet, other times we'll joke it off and pretend that I am his daughter.'

'Everybody has their own opinions but life is extremely short and you should do what makes you happy.'

We definitely get looks when we are out in public together,' Isabella admitted. 'Strangers will say to Joseph: 'Are you her dad?'

Isabella was just 18 when she met Joseph in October 2016 through working with his lacrosse club.

She said: 'I was looking into medical school and I had to do medical training hours to build my résumé before college.

'I reached out to him because he was a coach, so I began working with his lacrosse club.

'I was attracted to him but I actually did not like him at all. He came off as arrogant.'

The couple have two kids together Autumn, 15 months, and Wynter, six weeks and isabella hopes for more

'But once I got to know him and actually spoke to him about politics, family and his children, I realised he was a good guy. 

The pair began dating in December 2016 and just one month later Isabella found out she was pregnant.

She said: 'The same month I started seeing him, I got pregnant. That escalated things very quickly and we had to make a decision.

'Obviously I was terrified when I told him, but he was extremely supportive.

'We decided that we were definitely going to be together and he bought a place in Miami for us to live.'

Just five months after giving birth to Autumn in August 2017, Isabella became pregnant again.

She said: 'I've always wanted to be a mother. I love children. I'm ready to have another one.'

In April 2018, Joseph popped the question, presenting Isabella with a square-cut diamond ring during a stroll on the beach.

The pair are now happily planning their dream wedding for the end of this year. But Isabella admitted that her friends and family were not immediately supportive of her relationship with a man 33 years her senior.

She said: 'My family were worried about the age difference, but once they got to know us as a couple it was fine.

'I have lost friends. A lot of people went to college while I became a mother, our lives went in different directions.'

Joseph insisted that, for him, age was not a 'big factor' in his attraction to Isabella.

He said: 'It really had more to do with her personality than her age.  I liked the way she handled things and her level of maturity.'

She was just so much fun to be around.' He added that most of his friends were blown away when they met Isabella. 'After they saw her, they said: "Oh I get it".

'They think that I am with her because she is so good-looking, but that's not the reason I'm involved with her.'

Joseph accused women his age of having the biggest problem with his age gap relationship.

He said: 'Middle-aged women seem to be very uptight about it. They stare at their husbands trying to see if they are on board with it.'

He added that his sons have accepted their new step-mother but his daughter has struggled with his father's relationship.

He said: 'I really feel like my boys don't have an issue but I think my daughter did.

'I get a feeling she wasn't very happy about the whole situation although she has never said anything negative to me about it.'

Isabella confessed that although she does occasionally worry that Joseph is three decades older than her, they are making the most of their time together.

She said: 'I do worry about medical problems and Joseph leaving me too soon. But we don't know what's going to happen in life.

'I'm living in the moment. We have two girls together and he's making the most of his time with them now.'
