Married couple with 61-year age gap vow to start family despite husband being 85

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.
