Dad blasted for marrying woman who looks ‘exactly like his daughter’
Like mother like… stepdaughter?
A man who is 16 years older than his wife is being accused by trolls of marrying a woman who looks “exactly like his daughter.”
Chris Chapin, 44, and his wife Savana Chapin, 28, first met when she began working for him four years ago as a hairstylist at the salon he owns in Gilbert, Arizona.
At the time, Savana said she wasn’t interested in being in a relationship and Chris had just filed for divorce from his ex-wife.
“My life was kind of in a tailspin,” the owner of Awsum Salon admitted on an episode of the YouTube channel “Love Don’t Judge.”
The father-of-six said the more time he spent with Savana, the more he realized there was something “super special” between them that he’d never felt before.
At first, the pair hid their blossoming romance — especially since Chris’ 21-year-old daughter Tizziana, who goes by Trizzi, also works at the salon.
But mostly, they were worried they’d be judged.
The couple admitted there was some “controversy” in the salon when they told everyone they were dating.
They revealed some of their co-workers even accused Savana of being a “home wrecker” and suggested Chris was abusing her due to their age difference and power dynamic.
“Tizzi was originally very thrown off,” Savana admitted, although it didn’t stop them from falling in love and tying the knot.
“Now we’re best friends and she’s my little right-hand man,” the doting stepmom gushed.
The couple now shares three children together, in addition to the three children he shares with his ex-wife.
Savana started posting about their life together on TikTok, which she said was heavily criticized by strangers online.
“I had made the mistake of putting my age above where I was and her [Tizzi’s] age above where she was [in one of my videos],” Savana explained.
“It just started this big massive tornado of negative comments,” she continued. “Most of them were geared towards Chris.”
Some users were fixated on the age difference, even joking that Savana will be a grandma by the time she’s 30 years old, and lip-synched the words: “Why not?”
Savana said many brought up the similarities between her and Tizzi and how it makes them uncomfortable.
“I would be traumatized if my dad married someone who looks exactly like me,” one person wrote.
“Do you want to date your daughter?” another asked.
“Y’all look like sisters,” observed another.
Despite criticism, the loved-up couple adores their blended family and don’t care what the haters say — and are thrilled people become more accepting over time.
“A lot of comments now are like ‘I wish I could have this relationship with my stepmom,’” she recalled.
“We’re just one big family and it doesn’t matter what anyone says,” she continued. “Because we’re happy and that’s all that matters.”
