The pair initially met on Facebook and got married in 2017 after an eight-month whirlwind romance.
And now, the couple are now expecting their second child.
But despite their loving marriage, the couple have been met with a constant barrage of abuse from keyboard warriors.
Not only do haters question whether it’s appropriate for Jade, as a small person, to be in a relationship with a regular-sized adult, but people have even claimed that Todd should go to jail for the relationship.
The couple recently revealed all about their relationship to Truly, on an episode of My Extraordinary Family, leaving many open-mouthed.
While the couple are “super excited” to be pregnant with their second child, Jade claimed that sharing her life with the world has led to a lot of negative comments.
Jade confessed: “I’ve had people say things like, ‘I think it’s inappropriate for anyone who’s average height to be with a person who’s small. They should go to jail’.”
Not only do haters compare Jade “to a child”, but Todd believes the doubters are “not very happy with themselves”.
Despite this, Jade stressed: “It doesn’t matter – your gender, your height, your ability, disability.
“Love is love, and love will conquer.”
To this, Todd chimed in: “No matter what, we’re gonna do what we wanna do and what we think is good for our family.”
Social media users react
YouTube users were left stunned by Jade and Todd’s story and whilst the couple have often found themselves subject to hate from trolls, viewers were keen to share messages of love and support in the comments.
