A married couple with a 61-year age gap has vowed to start a family – despite the 85-year-old husband being older than his wife’s grandad.
Miracle Pogue, 24, met husband Charles Pogue, 85, when she was working in a launderette in 2019 and the pair quickly hit it off.
Retired real estate agent Charles finally decided to admit his feelings for nurse Miracle a year later and he proposed in February 2020. Despite the 61-year age gap, the pair are looking into IVF in the hope of starting a family to ensure Charles, who doesn’t have any children, leaves behind a new generation, reports the Mirror.
Miracle says mum 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 dad Kareem Phillips, 47, was harder to convince.
Miracle, from Starkville, Mississippi, US, said: “Charles used to bring in one item of clothing and only wanted me to serve him.
“One day he waltzed in there and threw a piece of paper down and said ‘write down your number’ like he’s a player. He was my knight in shining armour.
“We had a good vibe going, he didn’t make me feel weird. It was good conversation, he made me feel comfortable.
“I knew he was older but I didn’t know his age exactly.
