A woman has finally married the love of her life after her mum outlawed her relationship because she didn't want her daughter dating a black man. Jeanne Watts, formerly Gustavson, has tied the knot with Stephen Watts, 73, after tracking him down in May 2021 after her mum passed away.
The 69-year-old, who was divorced with no children, knew Stephen was the one for her after meeting him in 1971 as a freshman at Loyola University, in Chicago, America. She told People: "He was my first love. He was my true love." The loved-up couple secretly dated for seven years throughout the 70s - but their relationship ultimately came to an end as a result of her mum's racist views.
