Couple with 21-year age gap defy odds after cheating on spouses 10 years ago

A couple with a 21 year age gap said they fell in love at a supermarket and cheated on their spouses to be together - but defied the odds to get married and have a child. Chelsea Downs, 34, met her now-husband, Brad, 56, whilst they were both working in the same shop - she was in the salon, and he was store manager - in August 2012.

Hitting it off straight away, they were "drawn to each other" - despite both being married to different partners. They embarked on a three-week affair and would meet at the local park every night, they said.

But it wasn’t long before their secret fling was rumbled when a family member followed Chelsea to the park - and demanded the couple come clean. Chelsea and Brad claim they both told their spouses the truth, and divorced.
