A woman who lost her husband aged 49 has launched a dating app for widows hoping to find love again - and you have to provide a death certificate to get on. Nicky Wake, 51, lost her husband Andy, 57, in 2020 to covid after he was put into a care home in 2017 after a catastrophic brain injury.
The entrepreneur said dating again after being widowed was like the "wild west" and it was hard for people to understand what she was going through. Nicky said she experienced unsolicited pictures, went on dates then realised the men were married and almost went out with a man with a criminal record.
Fed up, she launched app Chapter Two in November - and already has thousands of widows and widowers looking for a second chance at love. You have to be a bereaved husband or wife to use the site and subscribers have to submit a memorialised Facebook account of their late spouse or copy of the death certificate to use the app.
