Angela, 72, married CJ Nwachukwu, 27, just three months after they met on Facebook. Her trip to Nigeria for their wedding was the first time they met face to face.
.
But Angela insists CJ is her soulmate and since they married has spent £20,000 visiting him and trying to get him into the UK. The gran of six was devastated when CJ was denied a visa but says their marriage is solid despite the 4,000 miles between them.
.
Angela, a retired taxi driver from Dorchester, Dorset, says: “CJ is the most caring man any woman could want to be with. He makes me feel like the most beautiful woman in the world. I know in my heart we belong together and we won’t stop fighting until we can be together as husband and wife. We won’t let this break us.
.
CJ is the third husband of Angela. “After the wedding, I found it hard leaving CJ. I knew I’d see him again soon but my family visa application was rejected. I was so determined to get him a visa I hired lawyers to fight for us. I’ve since visited him twice, in 2016 and 2017.
.
We’ve spent a combined £20,000 trying to see each other. I’ve used my savings and he has gradually paid me back half. He is six years younger than my oldest grandchild. But I couldn’t help falling for him.
.
When I first told my son Malcolm about CJ, he was worried it might be a scam, so he checked him out online. After seeing how squeaky-clean his social media was, he felt he was genuine. They could all see how happy I was," she said.
.
The couple’s last hope is that he will be allowed to come next year on a student visa to study his. She still hopes to be permanently united with him.
