Finding your true love can take years and even then, they might not be the one. Dating apps like Tinder make mingling with potential suitors much easier, and for one lucky Tinder user named Allana Luke, she met the love of her life through Tinder, and just so happened to land her butt right in the butter.
Allana, 23, met her now-fiancé Jeff Winn, 56, who is 33 years older than her on Tinder, right after she had decided to change her age range on her profile. She said: “Initially, I decided to increase the age range on my Tinder because I was fed up with immature guys my own age. I set it to 25 to 60-year-olds and the next day I matched Jeff.”
They live together in his 11-bedroom castle!
They now live together in Jeff’s restored 11-bedroom castle and say she doesn’t blame people for thinking she’s just after his money. The couple has been inseparable ever since their second date to Marbella in October 2020 when he bought her a pair of diamond earrings. Shortly after their romantic second date to Marbella, Allana moved into the law firm owners’ fully restored 11-bedroom castle located in Jesmond Newcastle.
The couple got engaged on June 2nd and can be spotted enjoying only the finer things in life – It’s obviously come up in question as to why she is with Jeff but Allana insists that she isn’t with him for his money and that she suggested they get a prenup.
Allana has also taken on the role of Jeff’s personal assistant and said; “There’s no denying Jeff looks much older than me which can cause people to roll their eyes when they see us. They automatically assume I am just another girlfriend after his money. I don’t blame them as it would be my first thought too. But once they get to know us, they can tell we are a great match. We have the same banter and we are always laughing.”
Allana also said that she isn’t afraid to show her affection towards Jeff in public, and always holds his hand when out as she is proud to be with him. Regardless of how other people may perceive them.
Young at heart
“He may be older than me but he is definitely young at heart,” “He used to party more than me but I am a home bird so he has definitely calmed down now that we have settled.” She said.
Despite the different backgrounds and obvious age gap the couple immediately fell in love when they met. She goes on to describe her first thoughts when seeing Jeff’s tinder profile; “Jeff’s profile made me stop as his photo was one of him standing outside his castle. I’d be lying if I didn’t say ‘wow’ at the house.
“His bio said he’d just finished restoring it so I thought it would be a good story to tell friends, even if it didn’t work out.” Their immediate spark and love for each other lead to the couple getting engaged and being accepted into Jeff’s family.

Allana shares Jeff’s home with his two kids, daughter Nina, 23, and son Josh, 21.
“Since meeting, we have only spent three days apart and I wouldn’t have it any other way.” Said Allana. The castle they call home has a full-time cleaner, three gardeners for the five acres of land, an estate manager, and a bartender. It also has 15 bathrooms, a cinema, and a hot tub for the couple to relax in.
Allana later explained how she is not from a lavish and wealthy family and had a lot of getting used to in terms of her new life with Jeff. “I’m not from a wealthy family and grew up in a council house so the castle is still a shock to this day. I have joked with Jeff that we should just get a one-bedroom flat as it is a pretty huge place.” Said Allana.
“I would still be with him even if he were to lose this house and go bankrupt. But I guess that is something I can’t prove unless it happens. He says if I lost all my looks tomorrow, he would still be with me too!” She says.
Allana has decided to share her story with the world in the hopes of normalizing age gap relationships.
“I want people to realize it is ok to have an age gap relationship. There are people out there who are ashamed to post their partner who is older so they don’t. We shouldn’t have to hide the loves of our lives because we are scared of getting judged. On social media, it may look like I am with Jeff for materialistic things. But when people see us in person, they can see we are so natural. It is ok and there is nothing weird about an age gap relationship.” Says Allana.
