According to the New York Post, recently, in Sydney, Australia, a 104-year-old woman Riit died in a nursing home, accompanied by her 48-year-old boyfriend Mart. The relationship between the two has been controversial since it was exposed. Riit is Mart's step-grandmother.
Mart is a 48-year-old lawyer from Estonia, while his current girlfriend, Riit, is his grandfather's second wife. In 1996, Mart came to Australia from Estonia to study, and his relationship with Riit gradually became closer, and the two began to fall in love in 2013, and the two lived together at first until Riit moved into a nursing home in 2022.
Riit was also born in Estonia and fled Europe after World War II to become an Australian citizen. The couple believes that the age difference between the two is 55 years old and does not matter.
The two first met in 1996 when Mart left his hometown to study English in Australia. When Riit learns that Mart is her late husband's grandson, she directly invites him to live in her home in southwest Sydney. Living under the same roof, but neither of them found out about each other's feelings at that time, Mart returned to Estonia, but visited Riit twice in Australia in 2000 and 2007.
In 2007, the two also traveled to Austria, and it was after this trip that Mart found himself falling in love.
In the years that followed, Mart took several annual leave to travel to Sydney in order to meet Riit.
On their last meeting, the two recognize that their feelings for each other have deepened beyond friendship.
To show his love, Mart said, Riit spends more time in the kitchen preparing his favorite dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. "Riit felt very lonely and helpless before we met. Since we started living together, I have brought joy, happiness, and security to her life. ”
As a lawyer, Mart is also well-known in Estonia, but for the sake of his love, he quit his job and officially moved to Sydney in September 2018 to live with Riit.
When the couple started living together, Riit was 98 years old and Mart was 43 years old. The happy life of the two lasted until September 2022, when Riit had to move into a local aged care facility due to health reasons.
Mart would visit Riit regularly at the nursing home and bring her her favorite foods: chocolate, berries and other fruits. They also go to concerts, worship together, watch TV together, go out for coffee with friends, and see doctors. It is reported that Mart is seeking a permanent visa to stay in Australia.
