'Marrying Millions': Erica's father calls Rick 'a grandpa with dad bod,' fans have a field day
Erica and Rick are having the time of their lives and seem happy in their relationship but her father has expressed his disapproval enough number of times in the two episodes in which the couple's story has aired. Erica is excited for her family to meet with Rick but the same cannot be said about them. They have been apprehensive about his age from the start and it's hard to see why not given that Rick is 46 years older than Erica. Having said, they are not fooling around and are serious about having a future together.
In this week's episode of 'Marrying Millions,' Erica's father said her and Rick's relationship was more like a grandpa-granddaughter kind of relationship. As they all settled for a meal, the dreaded topic was brought up and uncomfortably so. Although Rick was more than happy to share his plans about him and Erica getting married, that wasn't received well. Erica too was caught off-guard because she probably didn't think he would be so open with her folks.
But that was just the tip of the iceberg. The conversation reached a different level when Rick shared how he exercised regularly to keep his pecs in shape. Erica's grandmother was quick to ask if his hips and joints are in working condition and from then on the chat took an inappropriate turn. Erica's father, during his confessional, said no matter how much he worked out, he would still have a "dad bod."
Despite all the initial awkwardness, Erica's father and Rick were able to talk about important things. For instance, what's in it for Erica? To which Rick said she would have a lot of wealth to fall back on for when he is not in the picture.
Meanwhile, fans cannot stop laughing at Erica's father's comment about how Rick is a grandpa to Erica. "Erica and Rick do look like Grandpa and Granddaughter tho! Yikes #marryingmillions," a fan tweeted, while another said, "He said Grandpa/Granddaughter relationship #marryingmillions".
