72-year-old woman Angela Nwachukwu has found a new lease of life after meeting her 27-year-old hubby on Facebook!
Angela Nwachukwu, a 72-year-old woman who lives in Dorset, has proven
that distance definitely makes the heart grow fonder as she's currently
in a long-distance marriage with her 27-year-old husband CJ Nwachukwu who lives in
Nigeria.
The unlikely couple met on Facebook after CJ Nwachukwu sent Angela an unsolicited friendship request, and just two months later, she flew out to Nigeria to marry him.
However despite being married, the couple are having to live apart as CJ's visa to live in the UK has been denied.
And what's more, Angela - who has three grown sons and six grandchildren - has spent her £20,000 life savings trying to get her computer engineer husband into the country.
Talking about how their relationship began, Angela - who's a retired taxi driver - explained: "After my 16-year relationship ended, I felt lonely.
"After being single for six months, I saw that a young man had sent me a friend request on Facebook and I couldn’t believe my luck."
"He was six-years younger than my eldest grandchild so I knew it was wrong," Angela expalined, "but he was just so charming that I couldn’t help falling for him."
"It was only a few weeks since we’d been talking when CJ told me he had feelings for me and I was so happy."
Even though Angela was worried what her three sons - Phillip, 50, and Malcolm, 47 and Maurice, 43 - would think of CJ, they were soon won over after they realised CJ wasn't trying to scam their mum.
"I’m hoping to go to Africa later this year to visit him and I’m counting down the days until I can see him again."
