Hannah Berner has told how she finds the attention around her and husband Des Bishop's age gap amusing, saying that she's 'lucky' to have found a man who 'understands who he is'.

The comedian from Brooklyn, New York, and Des, 48, who lived in Ireland during his teens before moving back to the States, tied the knot in the Hamptons in May 2022.

Speaking about their difference in age with the Irish Independent ahead of her gigs at Vicar Street in May, Hannah said: 'I’m 32, like I’m not a 20-year-old who doesn’t know what’s going on.'

She continued: 'I think, in your 20s, you don’t really know what you want. I think, as a woman, when you’re in your 30s, you want to be with a guy who has matured.

'His brain is fully formed. He understands who he is, he can handle a woman who is confident in herself. And I think I’m lucky that I found that guy. He’s experienced a lot in his own life.'

Hannah's never shied away from speaking about their age gap, she even made a brutal joke about it in her wedding speech, and in 2022 wrote an article titled 'Why I Chose to Marry a Zaddy⁠—And You Should, Too' for Elle.

In her post, she admitted that her 'silver fox' had caught her eye six years before sliding into her DMs but she thought a long-term relationship wouldn't work with Des in Ireland and her in the US.

She wrote that the age gap brought qualities in a partner she had never had before. Describing their first date as 'refreshing', Hannah said: 'He didn’t go in for a kiss at the end, and I liked that.

'I was emotionally connecting with him while wondering deep down what it would be like to date my first silver fox.'

Hannah and Des met during the pandemic and their connection was instant, with Hannah admitting that the early days of their relationship were 'intense'.

She told the Irish Independent: 'We got engaged before we even experienced being in a restaurant together. We’ve been married for two years, but we’re still kind of learning about each other.'
