Retired teacher-turned-musician, Vann said: ‘She’s my best friend. In almost nine years of being together, we have never had an argument.
Courtney is ‘step-gran’ to his four grandchildren, and is just four years older than the youngest of them.
Vann also said their sex life is better than ever, but warns against all couples with a 30 year age gap getting married. Vann said: ‘We just get along. We sit here with each other all day long, every day. She does her stuff, I do my stuff and we’ll sit and talk.
‘That’s not to say we don’t get upset, but we have never had anything other than a tense discussion.
‘We are better today than we were when we met. I love her more than I did when we went to bed. I just made her breakfast now. I am lucky’.
Courtney added: ‘The fact he has kids and grandkids doesn’t bother me at all. We’re a match made in heaven’.
The couple met when he was helping her find musicians for an event. They bonded over their love of music and similar interests, and their relationship blossomed.
