Egyptian Mohammed Ibraham, 36, and Briton Iris Jones, 83, defended their 47-year-old age gap, and there were plenty of people online who said he was a liar. A married couple with a age difference of 47 defended their relationship to netizens who called their 36-year-old husband a liar.
Mohamed Ibraham from Egypt and Iris Jones, an 83-year-old retiree, were married in October 2020, when their marriage was not favored, and now they have known each other for 3 years and have been married for almost 2 years; What is their married life like now?
On June 6, local time, the couple updated the latest video on social platforms, in which they all said that they were a very lucky person, he liked to comb his wife's white hair, and his wife ironed his shirt for him. After Mohammed obtained a spouse visa, the couple lived together in Weston, Somerset, and they occasionally recorded their age-gap marriage on a common video social platform.
In a video, the man is combing her gray hair, saying her hair is "amazing" and that she is a "clean wife." As she said her hair was getting longer, the couple began to discuss her hair, while Muhammad countered that her hair was as long as his, but his hair was a mess, at which point she told him that his hair was "never messy" and that he had "nice black curls". The couple then shared a kiss in the video.
In a second video titled "The Best Wife," Mohammed shows off his freshly ironed white shirt, and after saying that Iris ironed it for him and thanked her, he called her a "good wife" and said "I am a very lucky person."
Iris Jones participated in ITV's "This Morning" show last January. On the show, the retired paramedic told them about her love affair with Mohammed; In early 2019, after her 27-year-old divorce, Iris registered an account on social platforms after her son Stephen bought her a laptop, and then met her current husband, Mohammed.
Love, she said, was the most distant thing in her mind, but when she joined a panel of atheists, she and Muhammad chatted. After five months of online conversation, Iris flew to Cairo to meet Mohammed for the first time in real life.
Muhammad, who had been living with his parents since the marriage broke down, paid for an apartment in the city and asked them to move in with him. After the two met, they happily spent a few days in Cairo together, after which Muhammad took Iris to meet his parents and expressed his intention to marry Iris.
Iris said they were initially unable to get married because she didn't know that marriage would require divorce papers, and Mohammed's divorce hadn't been finalized yet, so they went through three attempts to register their marriage and became legal couples in October 2020. At that time, the news of their marriage was reported by major overseas media, and even British royal family members expressed their views on the matter.
People often say that love does not distinguish between ages, and when people really see such a large age gap, they can't help but have doubts in their hearts. In this marriage of young husbands and wives, there were too many people who did not hold optimistic views at that time, but now after two years, they are still in love.
