Britain's most married man hasn't given up on love and is still looking to find his perfect match.
Ron Sheppard, 74, who has been married eight times, admits that he hates being single and wants to find a 'companion' to go out with. The father-of-eight most recently called off an engagement to an American woman called Rose - who he had never met - in 2019 after it "didn't feel right". Since then, he has been keeping himself to himself and even admits to becoming a lonely 'recluse'. "I've taken time for myself and been a recluse because of my medical problems and Covid," Ron, who has Parkinson's, tells The Mirror.
"I'm just plodding along." The former tour manager of comedian Norman Wisdom says that since Filipino Cristel Lalec, whom he thought would be his “forever wife”, left the UK five years ago, he has been searching for romance online ever since.
