This Dad’s Response to Trolls Accusing Him of Marrying His ‘Daughter’s Twin’ Is Everything
When Chris Chapin, 44, married Savana, 28, he didn’t expect his love story to become internet fodder. Yet, after trolls noticed a resemblance between Savana and Chris’ 21-year-old daughter, Tizziana—nicknamed Tizzi—the couple found themselves in the center of a social media storm.
Chris and Savana met four years ago in Gilbert, Arizona, where she worked as a hairstylist at his salon. At the time, Chris had just gone through a difficult divorce and wasn’t looking for love. Savana, 16 years his junior, wasn’t either. But as they spent more time together, their connection grew undeniable.
Still, their romance wasn’t without complications. For one, they kept their budding relationship secret, especially from coworkers—Tizzi included. “At first, I was really thrown off,” Tizzi admitted. But over time, she grew close to Savana, even featuring her stepmom in playful TikTok videos.
That’s when the trouble started. One video, which playfully highlighted their ages, attracted a flood of comments accusing Chris of marrying a woman who looked too much like his daughter.

“It became a tornado of negativity,” Savana shared, describing the hateful remarks. Some accused Chris of being “creepy,” while others asked shockingly inappropriate questions like, “Do you want to date your daughter?”
Chris didn’t let the backlash shake him. “They’re clearly unhappy in their own lives,” he said of the trolls. “I’ve found my soulmate. Marrying Savana is like winning the lottery.”
Despite the noise, the couple has built a beautiful life together. Now parents to three children of their own, Chris and Savana are part of a blended family of eight. Their bond, though unconventional to some, has weathered storms stronger than any TikTok comment section.
Chris’s advice to his critics? “Focus on your own happiness. I’ve found mine.”
