Two years talking only through a screen. That was what sustained the bond between an 81-year-old French woman and a 24-year-old Senegalese man, until she decided it was time to stop imagining his voice and face and get on a plane.
The destination was Senegal. The reason: to finally meet face-to-face after months of messages, calls, and a trust built from miles away. Nothing about the 57-year age gap stopped them: not her from traveling, nor him from waiting for her.
Now they already have a date: they are getting married in September 2026. The news went viral in several countries and divided opinions, but they seem clear about one thing — love, when it is real, does not check anyone’s calendar.
