A woman whose fiancé is double her age has insisted she’s not a golddigger and that she’s found true love with her millionaire partner.
Allana Luke, 23, first met Jeff Winn, 56, on Tinder back in 2020, and by the second date he was flying her out to Marbella for her birthday.
It was on this trip that they declared their love for each other, and shortly after Allana moved into Jeff’s 11-bed mansion in Newcastle.

Since then, the 56-year-old law firm manager has bought Allana an Audi TT, a Rolex watch, designer handbags and a number of holidays in places such as Barbados and Thailand.
But despite what some people might assume about their relationship, the 23-year-old, who works as her partner’s personal assistant, says she’s not with him for the money.
“There’s no denying Jeff looks much older than me, which can cause people to roll their eyes when they see us,” she explained.
“They automatically assume I am just another girl after his money.
“I don’t blame them as it would be my first thought too. But I would still be with Jeff even if he lost the house and went bankrupt.”
Their relationship went from strength to strength after their trip to Spain and on 2 June Jeff popped the question.
Allana has insisted on signing a prenup, adding: “He doesn’t think one is necessary, but I would like him to have peace of mind.”
The 23-year-old gets on well with Jeff’s two grown-up children Nina, also 23, and Josh, 21, and the same goes for his ex-wife.
“Once people get to know us, they can tell we’re a great match,” she said. “We have the same banter and are always laughing.”
Allana continued: “All of Jeff’s friends have commented on how much happier and healthier he is since I came into his life. It’s refreshing to hear.
“I want people to realise it is OK to have an age-gap relationship - we shouldn’t have to hide the loves of our lives because we are scared of getting judged.”
As for Jeff, he said he was looking for someone ‘who is beautiful on the inside and out’ and he’s found that in Allana.
“I have dated younger women before and my family didn’t approve,” he explained. “But they all adore Allana because they can see how she positively impacts my life.
“For many years, I was a bit of a naughty boy but I’m so much more relaxed than I used to be.
“I’m quite well-known in Newcastle and young men often high-five me when we are out together.
“But we do get stares when Allana is all dolled up. They are just jealous.”
