Mum finds love of her life on Tinder after forgetting to change age preference

A divorced mum looking for love online ended up with a boyfriend 23 years younger than her - after she forgot to change her age preference settings. Rachel Caudele, 48, wasn't looking for an age-gap relationship when she met 25-year-old Alex Michael, but their chemistry was hard to ignore.

They hit it off instantly and a whirlwind romance was sparked, with Rachel flying from her home in New York to spend time with Alex in Texas. They were both astounded by their "instant connection" - and now insist "age is just a number" as they settle down together, despite being two decades apart in age.
