Lifetime's new TV show Marrying Millions is bound to raise some eyebrows. The series follows six couples in love, where one half of each partnership is wildly wealthy, the other isn't.
Two of the six couples are from North Texas, and their stories might make you clutch your pearls: Dallas De District developer Bill Hutchinson, 61, is dating Brianna "Bri" Ramirez, 21 pictured below. Baseball player Josh Hamilton's ex-wife Katie Hamilton, 37, is dating Kolton Pierce, the year-old she met through her teenage daughter pictured above.

He's an aspiring rapper who just released a single called "Bad at Love. We know what you're thinking, because their friends and family members are asking the same question: Is this for real? She's 10 years younger than his oldest daughter. Looks fade. Character is what's lasting. Eventually, we started talking and that led to a date.
For Hamilton and Pierce, they met at her house, when her year-old daughter, Julia, had some friends over and Pierce tagged along.
Both of the younger Dallasites say they didn't know their new love interest was rich. For Ramirez, it was a year and a half after they met before Hutchinson explained his job: He operates 32 shopping centers across the country and is involved in the renaissance of the Dallas De District. He's the president of Dunhill Partners, the company that partnered with Richard Branson to build a Virgin Hotel in the Dallas De District and now runs more than 1 million square feet of showrooms, art galleries and restaurants in the neighborhood.
She didn't know who I was, and she didn't ask — which was sort of refreshing for me. I got the real Bri, not somebody who was chasing somebody for a reason.
Hamilton and Pierce say they immediately bonded when they went out to a restaurant and neither chose to drink alcohol. Hamilton was married to Josh Hamilton, who has struggled with alcohol addiction. And when Pierce was growing up, he says his birth mom did drugs and abused alcohol.
He was adopted by age 7. They also share a strong Christian faith. Hamilton hadn't dated anyone seriously since she got divorced, she says, but she'd always been interested in younger men. Nothing about him seems 23 to me.
He was so mature and such an old soul and has a lot of wisdom. Pierce said he knew Hamilton was "Julia's mom," so he started doing the math. She looks like she's Both couples offered this common refrain: Age is just a. Hutchinson admits it's tough to explain the year age gap.
Making matters more complicated, "Bri looks very young for her age," he says, "so even though she's 21, she looks quite young. The couple admits that "people definitely brought it up" — the age thing.
And in Marrying Millionsviewers will likely see friends, family and coworkers trying to figure out what drew them together, despite being four decades apart. There's a height gap, too, as Hutchinson is 6-foot-5 and Ramirez is 5-foot Despite Hutchinson becoming a new grandfather, he says he feels like a teenager. He's asked his grandson to call him Big Bill instead of Grandpa. Hutchinson and his family members have already filmed a reality show called Hanging with the Hutchinsonsbut it never aired. Bill Hutchinson says his daughters didn't like the way they were portrayed. Hutchinson says he said "no" to Marrying Millions several times before he and Ramirez changed their minds — but that getting back in front of the camera felt natural.
We're a beautiful, extended family," he says. I have long hair, I look like a hippie, but I'm doing business in Highland Park. Marrying Millions premieres at 9 p. July 10 on Lifetime. Sarah Blaskovichfood writer. Sarah writes about restaurants, bars and culture in Dallas.
