"I let people that are misinformed be misinformed," Marcus told E! News in a recent interview. "I feel like people see our last names and immediately want to have some sort of reaction or opinion."

"But I feel like as people get to know us and understand our situations more, they're way more happy for us and just want to see us live in our truths and be happy."

Larsa added that "people just want to see you happy, and there's just a few people who are just miserable."

"They just wanna have some negative input on things," she added. "But I think overall, I feel like people that know us, love us, want us to be happy."

When it comes to their age gap, Marcus stressed Larsa is a "young soul" while he's an "old soul, traditionally."

"I just feel like we meet somewhere in the middle," he said. "Age is just a number, but I think maturity and life experience really dictate the relationship."

"Everything we do, we have in common," she shared. "We like the same things, we like to go to the same places. I feel like for us, it's very natural to be with each other."
