On MBC’s Radio Star, CSJH The Grace‘s Stephanie Kim (then 32) told the story of how she started dating her much older boyfriend.
At the time, Stephanie Kim was dating Brady Anderson (56), who is 23 years her senior.
They first met while she was traveling back and forth between Korea and the U.S. They kept their friendship going for eight years.
They were close friends for so long that even Stephanie Kim’s mother, who is only four years older than her boyfriend, knew about him.
After being friends for a while, the idol and baseball player met up again in 2020 and confirmed their love for one another…after having a small fight.
Stephanie Kim had always used an ice pack when she was injured, but Brady Anderson stated that it wasn’t scientifically proven to help. He told her he wouldn’t believe it unless she proved it with scientific evidence. This small fight grew bigger than expected, until he said, “Try and listen to me since your boyfriend is a former major league player!”
Since they had never officially stated they were dating, they continued to just meet with each other with good feelings until Brady Anderson called himself her boyfriend. Although annoyed, Stephanie Kim couldn’t help but feel happy. She was taken aback and wondered to herself, “Was I his girlfriend?”
So, because they didn’t have a specific date they started dating, they just made the day they fought the official start date for their relationship!
