'I married a Tribesman I met 9,000 miles away - our 30-year age gap is nothing'

A woman said she "couldn't be happier" after moving 9,000 miles away from her home to marry a Maasai tribesman who is 30 years younger than she is. Deborah Babu, 60, says she is having the time of her life since meeting 30-year-old Saitoty Babu.

The mum-of-two says she wasn't expecting to fall in love when she met Saitoty while she was travelling in Tanzania with her daughter, Royce, who is also 30, in October 2017, but she was swept off her feet in a whirlwind romance. Then she feared the age gap would doom the relationship but soon Saitoty proposed, and now the pair are married and living in Tanzania - thousands of miles from Deborah's original home in Sacramento, California, USA.
