When Tennessee GOP Rep. John Rose's son Guy went viral on social media on Monday, many remarked how cute his 'grandson' was.

Little did they know that the silly six-year-old making faces behind the congressman's floor speech was 59-year-old Rose's son by his wife who is 25 years his junior.

Rose and wife Chelsea seemingly met when she was in high school and he was 42 and they crossed paths at a farming convention. She was of legal age when they married four years later.

In 2007, 17-year-old Chelsea Doss traveled from Murfreesboro to Gaitlinburg, Tennessee for the state's 79th annual Future Farmers of America (FFA) convention.
