Millie, who is 1.67 m tall, has been dating her 23-year-old boyfriend, Chelsea, who is 1.55 m tall, for 9 years. The couple lives in the East Midlands. When Millie posts affectionate photos or videos of them on social media, she often receives comments calling her Chelsea's "mother" or "older sister".
This is because she has a face that "looks older than 21", while her boyfriend has a "baby face".

Their videos have attracted millions of views. Millie said she was shocked when someone accused her of "being interested in children", even though her boyfriend is actually two years older than her.
The teasing has made the couple hesitant to show affection in public. "If people see me holding his hand, they'll think he's my 'son' and give us strange looks," Millie said.
