Woman, 24 sets to marry father-of-four twice her age

A woman engaged to a dad-of-four twice her age says it was 'love at first sight' after she fell for his slick dance moves and snappy dress sense.

Entrepreneur and fitness coach Najlah Muhammad, 24, from Arizona, first met business man and dad-of-four John Malott, 48, from Wisconsin, in August 2016 at a nightclub where he was celebrating his birthday.

One of Najlah's friends introduced them to each other and they became inseparable, falling in love within weeks of dating.

The couple received a lot of backlash about their relationship, with both families unsure about the union and John's 25-year-old daughter initially refusing to even speak to Najlah.

They also lost friends along the way – including people who tried to break them up by claiming John had cheated.

But the pair stuck by each other and just over a year after they met, John popped the question. They've now set a date for their wedding and John's daughters have come to love Najlah - so much so that the girls now regularly go out clubbing together.

John has four daughters; Jessica, 18, Carissa, 25 - who is only two months older than Najlah – and Lauren, 26, who is older than her future mother-in-law.

While Carissa didn't take their relationship well in the beginning, Najlah said she has grown to like her and the two now delight in going out partying together.
