A MUM-OF-FOUR has been slammed as a “groomer” after falling in love with her teenage son’s friend.
Tanya and Josue got together three years ago when she was 39 and he was 21.
They met in 2018 when she was dropping her two sons, who were 12 and 14 at the time, off to his house to play video games.
Fast forward four years, the pair tied the knot last summer despite people threatening to call social services on their relationship.
The lovebirds regularly share videos of themselves flirting, snogging and dancing together on social media.
But this has not been met without criticism as trolls accuse Tanya of grooming Josue.

The 42-year-old retaliated: “Grooming is literally not at all what this is.
“Josue is a consenting adult and was a consenting adult when we first met.”
Other trolls have claimed 24-year-old Josue is using Tanya for “a roof over his head”, her eldest son might die of embarrassment and she is his “sugar mama”.
Speaking with Truly, Tanya bashed trolls: “Their opinion doesn’t affect us.

“We’re going to be together whether they want us to or not.”
She acknowledged that the unusual relationship may have made her kids feel “different” at the start but said they are now “vibing with” Josue again.
Tanya claimed that her beau “was more of a big brother figure to her sons than anything”.
Josue dreams of being a successful musician so he can give their blended family “a healthy and wealthy” life.
He said: “I love being a stepdad.
“I have a big bond with the two babies.
“It was awkward at first but it’s easy now.
“They’re my babies forever.”
The couple live together in Ohio, US with Tanya’s four kids and make money through Josue’s factory job, doing food deliveries and creating content.
Tanya is used to people mistaking Josue for her son but has snapped back on Tik Tok that they’re just jealous of how in love she is.
What’s more, the mum is also used to younger girls showing an interest in her man – so much so that he uses it to their advantage.
