HOW many women can say they have the pick of TWO younger men?
Well that’s exactly what happened when Stefany Johnson, 48, a self-confessed MILF, found herself stuck in a very surprising love triangle.

The mum of three couldn’t make up her mind when she was caught between the affections of 23-year-old Gabriel and 30-year-old Ryan.
And while many women her age would baulk at the idea of getting involved with someone half their age, not Stefany.
In fact, she felt herself undeniably attracted to the younger of the two men’s personalities.
“I’ve never ended up dating anyone like Gabriel,” Stefany revealed.

“He’s stylish, he’s spontaneous, he’s really funny.
“He’s outgoing and just says it how it is.
“I was excited to see what God had in store for us.”
Ruffling feathers
But her feelings weren’t without friction, as Stefany had also told Ryan that she “liked him the most” because he “carried himself with maturity”.
Her lack of decisiveness ruffled Ryan’s feathers after he discovered she was “more than just friends” with Gabriel.
It caused a series of heated arguments between the pair – and even Ryan’s mum, Shannan, became embroiled in one dispute.
“That was awkward,” Stefany recalled.
“He was pinpointing me with his mum.
“It was f***ing ridiculous – f**k that.”
The uncomfortable argument unfolded in a shared villa full of mums and sons.
Stefany described the situation as “crazy” and revealed that it caused a lot of “drama” in her life.
Mummy’s boys
The mums and sons were all living together while filming for TLC dating show, MILF Manor.
The first season, which aired in January last year, featured eight single women between the ages of 40 and 60 living in a villa in Mexico.
They each flew to South America with hopes of falling in love with a single man several decades younger.
But in the first episode, it was revealed that the eight men were the sons of the other women on the show.

Stefany
Stefany appeared alongside her first born child, 30-year-old Billy.
She struck up the unlikely romance with Gabriel during filming but later episodes revealed that they were both doubting their future outside of the show.
At the same time, Stefany opened up about her relationship with religion and how it plays a pivotal part in her selection of men.
“I’ve always been a believer,” she said in a confessional.
I think religion is important in relationships. I think your partner having God as a foundation is very important

“I love the Lord and I think it’s important with relationships.
“I think your partner having God as a foundation is very important.”
Since leaving the show, Stefany and Gabriel quietly parted ways.
In fact, the mum-of-three has kept her current love life top secret – and she hasn’t pursued any further reality TV ventures.

Twice-divorced, mum-of-six Kelle branded the Jose’s mum, Pola, a “jealous wife”.
