My 85 year old nan has a boyfriend

[Yissie]

My nan, who was widowed at 57, and is now 85 has a boyfriend. They’ve been friends for a year and she told me this morning they are in love! I said are you partners? She replied to not call them that they aren’t that old 😁and that he is her boyfriend. She’s like a teenager and it made me smile. Who says getting old has to be miserable!

fabulous!

Good for Nan

How wonderful!

amazing! My DGF got remarried at 87, and he was very happy for a final few years.

Ah that's lovely! Go nan! I hope they have a very happy life together 🥰

Love this ❤️

That’s really made me smile, good for your nan and her boyfriend - hope they’re very happy together 😊

My grandfather got married for the 2nd time at 85!
its such a lottery, some people are still very active and alert and others are frail and doddery at this age

Same thing with my mum’s s neighbour. She was a spinster, he a widower. Both in their eighties.
They had a good few sweet years together. It was so lovely to see them out & about before she passed away.
It frightened the life out of his daughters who were worried about potential marriage, living together, wills! God forbid that Golden Oldies shouldn’t have loving companions.

Oh good for your nan she sounds great xx

Do you need to have a chat with her about contraception

How bloody awesome! This is the happiest thing I've heard in ages! I'm delighted for them both. Just wonderful.

Aww this is fab! And has cheered me right up being single at 40. Lovely post for a Sunday.

😁 good on her!

Where did she find him?

My mum is nearly 83 and has been perusing the elderly dating sites for a while but without success.

Thing is, she wants a toy boy as doesn't want to go through watching another partner decline like my late dad ☹.

It would be lovely if she did meet someone but the process of her doing so terrifies me tbh.

That's fabulous I wish my mum would meet someone.

Yes Nan! 🙂

Isn’t it lovely! She felt bad at first as they only knew each other as she knew his wife. His wife that died 25 years ago! I said I think she’s waited long enough to get away with it 😁

I have a relative who married after being widowed, in her late eighties. She's now 92 and her husband is early 70s.

Does he have a brother? 😉😆

How fabulous…. Go Nan!

No idea why but reading that has made me feel really happy, thanks OP and go Nan!

Brilliant

Brilliant, means I still have time lol

Check he is not like the awful Mr Morris in Friday Night Dinner , if he passes that test then kudos to your Gran!

go Nan! My later MIL had a toy boy in her 80's, they used to go away for lovely long weekends in country hotels 😉
