A married couple with a 61-year age gap have vowed to start a family – despite the 85-year-old husband being a decade older than his wife’s grandfather.
Retired real estate agent Charles finally decided to admit his feelings for the nurse a year after they met and he proposed in February 2020.
Miracle [the nurse] says her mother Tamika Phillips, 45, and grandad Joe Brown, 72, were supportive of the relationship from the start after seeing how happy the pensioner made her but her dad Kareem Phillips, 47, was harder to convince.
Miracle said: ‘Charles used to bring in one item of clothing and only wanted me to serve him.
‘I found out in conversation when we asked each other our date of birth and he said he was born in 1937.
‘I never even placed his age, we just wanted to see how it went.
‘I don’t care if he’s 100 or 55, I like him for him. I thought he was maybe 60 or 70 because he looks so good. He’s always up and active.
