Woman flew 9000 miles to marry tribesman lover with 30-year age gap

A woman from California moved 9000 miles from her home to be with her tribesman sweetheart who she later married despite their 30-year age gap. Deborah Babu, 60, was not looking for love when she stumbled across Maasai tribesman, Saitoty Babu, 30, while travelling with her daughter in Tanzania.

The pair met in October 2017 and the mother of two fondly recalls how he immediately swept her off her feet, the Daily Star reports. Deborah, originally from California in the US, said she was at one point worried about the significant age gap between them but her worries disappeared once Saitoty proposed five years after they met.

The now married couple are living in Tanzania and Deborah has said she's been extremely happy and enjoying life since meeting her husband. When the two first met, Deborah and her daughter were walking along a beach in Zanzibar, Tanazania.
