Young couple fall in love while playing Call of Duty online 300 miles apart

A young couple separated by more than 300 miles met while playing Call of Duty online - with romance blossoming as they shot enemies together. Finlay Brown, 20, and Sophia Carlile, 19, felt an instant attraction when they chatted after gaming on the same team.

Sophia had joined Finlay and his mates against a common enemy on the online platform, and the couple hit it off after their pals went to bed. The pair quickly exchanged Instagram profiles and began a Snapstreak that they messaged at least every hour.

After six weeks the couple were sharing every moment of their lives on FaceTime, even chatting each other to sleep each night - with individual calls lasting up to nine hours. They then finally met in person after six months and moved in together a year later - and now plan to partner for life.
