Fans hail Lucy Hale, saying she’s “secured a DILF”
Fans took to social media, including Twitter, to share comments about the photos.
“Lucy Halle secured a DILF,” one Twitter user wrote. “It’s hard seeing other people living your dreams.”
Skeet Ulrich is 20 years older than Lucy Hale
The Twitter user’s use of the term “DILF” was a reference to the difference in age between Ulrich and Hale.
Ulrich, 51, is 20 years older than Hale, who is 31 years old.
The tweet sparked a debate, with some expressing disapproval of Hale dating a man 20 years older than her. But others insisted that at 31 years old, she was a mature woman and could date anyone she chose to.
