The girl was at least 18/19 possibly turning 20. I believe he could have been late 20s early thirties. Definitely more than a 5 year age gap. This romance in the beginning was seen as a bad thing, because of her being young and “troubled” but in the end they both helped each other a lot getting over things and everyone learned to accept it.
