A young mum in a 25-year age gap relationship with a millionaire has undergone £61,000-worth of surgery so she "doesn't let herself go like so many women do". Leila Griffin, 29, married Bruce Griffin, 54, in July last year despite initially embarking on a casual relationship, bragging he's 'great in bed'.

After a year of wedded bliss, the mum-of-one was determined to 'look the best she can for him' and has undergone a raft of cosmetic procedures that Bruce footed the bill for. Leila flaunted her recent £7,300 lip and bum filler bill on TikTok and says she also had a tummy tuck, liposuction, and breast implants earlier this year.

Leila claims that she "goes for lip filler like she changes underwear" and that her entrepreneur and business owner hubby willingly stumps up the cash - as he buys her 'whatever she wants'. The glam mum says she wants to look as good as she can for her husband "as every woman should" - and says that Bruce is thrilled with her surgery as he "likes the fake look".

One gruesome photo shows a lump of tattooed skin whipped off when she had the tummy tuck, which she took two months to recover from. Leila, from Enfield, North London, said: "I'm an advocate for plastic surgery. If someone wants to get something done, they should just go and do it.

"The more accentuated your lips are the older you will look, but I don't care because that's the vibe. Big lips are the vibe. I do want to look as good as I can for my husband, as every woman should. There are so many women that let themselves go, and I'm like, 'what are you doing?'.

"When I told Bruce I was getting the surgery done, he said, 'whatever you want that will make you happy'. He says I can get whatever I want. The surgery could have cost 100 grand and I still would have done it. I'll go to him and say 'hey, this is what I want', and we'll talk about it, but for me he knows that no isn't an option. It's my body - if I want to do something that's my decision, and he just supports it.

"If anything, I prefer to look plastic rather than natural because that's what I like. Bruce likes the fake look [but] he's not the one who tells me to go and do it. But he will put in his two cents and it's then up to me [in terms of] what I decide to do with his opinion. Bruce was my caregiver after the [tummy tuck] surgery for a couple of weeks. You have to sleep in a wedged position, so he rented me a hospital bed that we kept in the bedroom. After I recovered, he loved the results - you can see ab definition.

"I go for lip filler like I change underwear. It doesn't last very long on me so I have to keep going back. I wouldn't know how many procedures I've had this year because I go so often for Botox and filler."

But Leila's cosmetic surgery journey is far from over, as she said she's looking at boosting her bust, getting a nose job and briefly considered bum implants. The body modification enthusiast says she's considering a labiaplasty, but has been put off due to the "obscene amount of time" she'd have to abstain from romping with Bruce while healing.

Leila, who now lives in Tampa, Florida, US, claims that she's often called a 'gold digger' and told to "lay off the plastic" in the comment section of her videos. But lucky-in-love Leila said she's 'blessed' to be in love with an 'amazing provider' who's happy to buy her everything she wants.

Leila said: "I was going to get the butt implants in May, but I changed my mind. I want a bigger bum, but at the end of the day I caught him with no arse so it's fine. On top of that I was going to get a labiaplasty - and that he wasn't on board with. He said that I don't need it and I shouldn't get it, and he's happy with how it is right now.

"I'd like to just do it just because I like that kind of stuff, but I heard that you can't have sex for an obscene amount of time [afterwards] - and I can't do that. Bruce paid for the surgery. He pays for everything. I'm okay with that and people judge me for it. I just think that if you're blessed enough to fall in love with someone and on top of that they are an amazing provider, how does that make you a gold digger? There's so many women out there who don't work, and they're not branded gold diggers. It's probably because of our age gap and how I look.

"I get people saying 'easy on the plastic' and I say 'no, it's a vibe'. With my lips, Bruce said that he's worried that I'm going to go overboard. But I know in my head how I want to look and I'm not there yet, but I've told him not to worry. And to other people I might look stupid already, but I don't care. I obviously want to look good for my husband, but it was more to look good for myself and the world."
