A couple has drawn international attention after announcing the upcoming arrival of their first child together, despite a marked age difference.

41-year-old Estie Goosen, a resident of Gansbaai, explained that she is in the final stage of her pregnancy. Her husband, 80-year-old veteran musician Anton Goosen, is preparing to raise his first son by adapting his nearly 140-year-old former fisherman’s cottage to welcome him in 4 months.

Although the couple, who met in London in 2008, has faced very harsh comments online, their close friends support the strength of this long-standing marriage.
