Miracle Pogue, 24, from Starkville, Mississippi has tied the knot with 85-year-old Charles Pogue, stirring mixed-reactions on social media.

According to her, she met Pa Charles, when she was working in a launderette in 2019 and the pair quickly formed a friendship.

Retired real estate agent Charles finally decided to admit his feelings for the nurse a year after they met and he proposed in February 2020.

Charles doesn’t have any of children with him and the couple are looking into IVF in the hope of starting a family to ensure Charles leaves behind a new generation.

Miracle says her mother Tamika Phillips, 45, and grandad Joe Brown, 72, were supportive of the relationship from the start after seeing how happy the pensioner made her but her dad Kareem Phillips, 47, was harder to convince. (Daily Mail)
