Florin Marin, a 33-year-old Romanian influencer, has spoken about the lavish lifestyle he leads six years after inheriting money and a pension from his British husband, retired vicar Philip Clements, who died in 2020 aged 81. The couple's relationship, which began on Grindr in 2015 and drew public attention including an appearance on Jeremy Kyle's ITV show, sparked criticism from Mr Clements's family, who branded Mr Marin a "gold-digger" over the significant age gap and money spent.

Mr Marin inherited a £2,000-a-month pension and £150,000 after Mr Clements's death, and says the couple got through £1million during their five-year relationship; Mr Clements had sold his Kent home to move to Bucharest and put the new property in Mr Marin's name. Mr Marin now documents a jet-setting lifestyle to nearly 50,000 TikTok followers, funded, he says, by his current partner, hotel boss Giovanni Messina, and a new "mistress", a Bulgarian businessman he met this year, rather than his own money.
