Young girl marries her best friend’s father and becomes stepmother
Do you believe in ‘Love at First Sight’ if not than we will tell you one story today, ‘it was love at first sight but when Kern Lehman and Taylor met for the first time, it was Kern’s daughter, Amanda, who introduced them was also Taylor’s best friend and she falls in love with her father.
After their first meeting, Taylor who just 27-year-old got married to Kern 52, who is of her father’s age have married, making Taylor not only Amanda’s best friend, but also her stepmum.
“I thought he was very handsome,” Taylor, from Phoenix, Arizona, told international news agency. “When we first met, I worked with Kern’s daughter, she was my best friend and he was married at the time. I was also in a relationship.”
Initially, Taylor had some reservations about dating her friend’s father, but she says over time she had “gotten over that”. The couple married in May 2017.
“At the beginning, my parents were kind of concerned. My mum was upset that this was my friend’s dad, but they know I’ve always dated older men,” she said. Now Amanda and their families approve of their marriage.
Strangers have noticed the couple’s 25-year age difference. When they closed on their new home, the notary told Kern, “Your daughter can fill this out or sign here.”
But that doesn’t seem to bother Taylor, who likens her May-December romance to Hollywood power couple Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas, who have a similar age gap.
“[Zeta-Jones is] brunette and he has silver hair, like us, but Kern is way better looking than Michael Douglas,” she said. “People have told us … that we are a very striking couple.”
Young girl falls in love with best friend’s father, marries him and turns stepmum:
And besides, she says, their attraction is more than skin deep.
“But we hit it off. We like the same music and are both old souls. I fell in love with him for his personality-it made him so attractive to me,” she said. “He is fun, outgoing, we both like to party, and he was charming.”
When it comes to the future, they’ve had to talk about the possibility of Kern dying first. And they have no plans to have children.
“We met with a trust and will attorney-it’s something not a lot of mid-20s women have to deal with and it’s pretty hard,” Taylor said. “But who knows what will happen. Tomorrow is never promised. I could go first tomorrow by a freak accident or anything.”
“Why would I want to change at that part of his life? Honestly, I love my life. We enjoy the freedom of travelling and having fun together,” she said.
And Kern, a retiree, says people shouldn’t judge their age gap.
“If it makes you happy and you click, it’s nobody’s business but yours and if people want to be judgmental, the hell with them,” he said. “Leave them in their glass house.”

The State Scores Extra High on Gaming-Friendly Industry Index
Meghalaya scored 92.85 out of 100 possible points in a Gaming Industry Index and proved to be India’s most gaming-friendly state following its recent profound legislation changes over the field allowing land-based and online gaming, including games of chance, under a licensing regime.
The index by the UK India Business Council (UKIBC) uses a scale of 0 to 100 to measure the level of legalisation on gambling and betting achieved by a state based on the scores over a set of seven different games – lottery, horse racing, betting on sports, poker, rummy, casino and fantasy sports
Starting from February last year, Meghalaya became the third state in India’s northeast to legalise gambling and betting after Sikkim and Nagaland. After consultations with the UKIBC, the state proceeded with the adoption of the Meghalaya Regulation of Gaming Act, 2021 and the nullification of the Meghalaya Prevention of Gambling Act, 1970. Subsequently in December, the Meghalaya Regulation of Gaming Rules, 2021 were notified and came into force.
All for the Tourists
The move to legalise and license various forms of offline and online betting and gambling in Meghalaya is aimed at boosting tourism and creating jobs, and altogether raising taxation revenues for the northeastern state. At the same time, the opportunities to bet and gamble legally will be reserved only for tourists and visitors.
“We came out with a Gaming Act and subsequently framed the Regulation of Gaming Rules, 2021. The government will accordingly issue licenses to operate games of skill and chance, both online and offline,” said James P. K. Sangma, Meghalaya State Law and Taxation Minister speaking in the capital city of Shillong. “But the legalized gambling and gaming will only be for tourists and not residents of Meghalaya,” he continued.
To be allowed to play, tourists and people visiting the state for work or business purposes will have to prove their non-resident status by presenting appropriate documents, in a process similar to a bank KYC (Know Your Customer) procedure.
Meghalaya Reaches Out to a Vast Market
With 140 millions of people in India estimated to bet regularly on sports, and a total of 370 million desi bettors around prominent sporting events, as per data from one of the latest reports by Esse N Videri, Meghalaya is set to reach out and take a piece of a vast market.
Estimates on the financial value of India’s sports betting market, combined across all types of offline channels and online sports and cricket predictions and betting platforms, speak about amounts between $130 and $150 billion (roughly between ₹9.7 and ₹11.5 lakh crore).
Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Delhi are shown to deliver the highest number of bettors and Meghalaya can count on substantial tourists flow from their betting circles. The sports betting communities of Karnataka, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana are also not to be underestimated.
Among the sports, cricket is most popular, registering 68 percent of the total bet count analyzed by Esse N Videri. Football takes second position with 11 percent of the bets, followed by betting on FIFA at 7 percent and on eCricket at 5 percent. The last position in the Top 5 of popular sports for betting in India is taken by tennis with 3 percent of the bet count.
Local Citizens will Still have Their Teer Betting
Meghalaya residents will still be permitted to participate in teer betting over arrow-shooting results. Teer is a traditional method of gambling, somewhat similar to a lottery draw, and held under the rules of the Meghalaya Regulation of the Game of Arrow Shooting and the Sale of Teer Tickets Act, 2018.
Teer includes bettors wagering on the number of arrows that reach the target which is placed about 50 meters away from a team of 20 archers positioned in a semicircle.
The archers shoot volleys of arrows at the target for ten minutes, and players place their bets choosing a number between 0 and 99 trying to guess the last two digits of the number of arrows that successfully pierce the target.
If, for example, the number of hits is 256, anyone who has bet on 56 wins an amount eight times bigger than their wager.
