Erica Moser and Rick Sykes, who appeared on the reality TV show Marrying Millions, garnered significant attention due to their 47-year age difference—Erica was 23, and Rick was 70 during their time on the show.
The couple met through social media, and their relationship became a central storyline in the series.

Erica and Rick’s Relationship dynamics
In one of her now-deleted YouTube videos, Erica explains that she has always been interested in large age-gap relationships. Her relationship with Rick wasn’t the first controversial situation she had been in.
Despite proudly showcasing their love on the show and social media, Erica’s father was not a fan of the romance. He did not support his daughter dating a man older than him.
Erica seemed to understand her father and did not take offense to his lack of support. At one point, Rick’s friend David accused Erica of being a gold digger. The couple got engaged despite consistent backlash from family and friends.

In an extended episode of Marrying Millions, the couple fought as Rick tried to convince Erica to go through with the wedding. A couple of things emerged from the fight, with the main argument being the lack of support from Erica’s dad.
Erica’s dad, Eric, refused to attend the Marrying Millions rehearsal and told his daughter he would not walk her down the aisle to marry Rick Sykes.
Eric explained that his presence would mean he was okay with his daughter, Erica Moser, marrying a man older than her father.
It seemed that she would not be okay if her dad wouldn’t attend her wedding. She explained in a TikTok that she realized they were very different and decided not to proceed with the marriage.
Eager fans of Marrying Millions flooded the comment section with various reactions to the announcement. One of the fans wrote, “Honestly, after watching that episode, I had mad respect for you. Most women in your shoes would have still gone for it for the money.”
“He was so genuine, and you let your family ruin it,” one TikTok user wrote. Another added: “He was the most authentic person on that show.” But Erica replied: “Hahaha, you don’t know him. Trust me.”
It’s safe to say Erica and Rick are no longer together. Erica has moved on from the relationship, and no public indications of reconciliation exist.
