Due to their 26-year age difference, Dane Cook and Kelsi Taylor "prepared" for hostility.
The 50-year-old comedian said to People on Thursday, "We understood going into the relationship that people would have an opinion in the public light.
“We were very early making jokes,” he continued. “I would say something like, ‘I’d love to have a family,’ and she would say, ‘Oh, I’d love to have a family when I’m young,’ and I’d say, ‘Well, I’d like that as well because I’d like to hold my children on my death bed.'”
By “being able to poke fun at it and have some jokes at [their] expense,” the couple felt ready for backlash when Cook proposed in July.
“People were going to put us as a target,” the actor explained. “So if we make the joke first and we’re laughing at it, you can’t really hurt us with that.”
Five years into their relationship, the pair announced their engagement in August.
'She confirmed' When Taylor, 24, displayed her engagement ring in an Instagram video, the "Employee of the Month" actor captioned it.
