Is this a best friend dream? Or a nightmare?

When Kern Lehman and Taylor met, it wasn't just the 25-year age gap that was an anomaly...

Also quite unique is the fact that Kern’s daughter Amanda, happens to be Taylor's best friend. And she was the one who introduced them.

Now Taylor, 27, and Kern, 52, have married, making Taylor not only Amanda’s best friend, but also her stepmum.

“I thought he was very handsome,” Taylor, from Phoenix, Arizona, told Caters News Agency.

“When we first met, I worked with Kern’s daughter, she was my best friend and he was married at the time. I was also in a relationship.”

After some initial reservations over dating her friend's father, Taylor says she had soon “gotten over that.”

The couple then married in May 2017.

“At the beginning, my parents were kind of concerned. My mum was upset that this was my friend’s dad, but they know I’ve always dated older men,” she said.

Now Amanda and their families approve of their marriage.

Speaking about the difference in age, Taylor likens it to Hollywood power couple Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas, who have a similar age gap.

“[Zeta-Jones is] brunette and he has silver hair, like us, but Kern is way better looking than Michael Douglas,” she said.

“People have told us … that we are a very striking couple.”

“But we hit it off. We like the same music and are both old souls. I fell in love with him for his personality — it made him so attractive to me,” she said.

“He is fun, outgoing, we both like to party, and he was charming.”

And they have no plans to have children.

“Why would I want to change at that part of his life? Honestly, I love my life. We enjoy the freedom of travelling and having fun together,” she said.

Speaking on the couple's romance, Kern says, “If it makes you happy and you click, it’s nobody’s business but yours and if people want to be judgmental, the hell with them,” he said. “Leave them in their glass house.”
