I still feel at times concerned about the situation and I don't want my parents to find out my friend is with someone 30 years older then her incase they don't want her in my house anymore or they worry that the person she is with is strange , shall I tell them who she is with ? as when they ask who I go out with and who she lives with I just say her friend as opposed to saying boyfriend and I don't like not telling them the full truth.

 Why would you need to announce this?
On what planet does this concern your parents? You’re 18-21, you’re an adult, your parents don’t decide who your friends are and who you spend your time with. If they have a negative opinion on the matter then so what? The world keeps turning.
This isn’t even an issue, forget you ever had this thought.

Your parents may have an opinion on the situation but frankly it is none of their business, as it is none of yours, or mine, or anyone else’s. I would say that if he is coming to their home they have a right to ask who is coming in to their house, whether you tell them that they are romantically involved or not. But apart from that I really don’t see why it matters what their opinion is and I don’t see the difficulty in telling them. Has your friend asked for you not to? IF she’s public about her romance, then presumably your parents will find out anyway sooner or later if they have contact with her.
I wish you all the very best.
