Mel is a whopping 34 years older than his beautiful girlfriend, but that doesn’t seem to be a problem for the couple. She is a very successful young woman, who was formerly a champion equestrian vaulter! Perhaps after his several attempts at love, Mel has finally found the one that he can settle down with as he grows older.
