00:00This is 36-year-old Mohamed, and he fell in love with
00:0882-year-old Iris
00:12Before I met Mohamed, life was pretty dull
00:19We love each other, our love is growing day by day
00:23And whilst many people don't agree with their 46-year age gap, my youngest son
00:28He said, you know, it might be a scammer. I said, it's no scammer. I can spot a scammer
00:34Iris and Mohamed are determined to prove that their love is real. Age is nothing. It's just a number
00:43Mohamed, where's my tea, please?
00:46I'll try to get it. Oh, no, your tea and your cake, and my tea. Thank you. Thank you, love.
00:54Hello, everybody
00:56Before I met Mohamed, life was pretty dull. Usual everyday things, go shopping, go walking, meet friends
01:05Pretty humdrum, really
01:07That was it
01:10Look at that, you haven't changed from that image
01:13I wasn't looking at all. My son gave me a laptop and it opened the world for me
01:18I do like talking and chatting to people from all over the world, and that's how I met
01:25My wonderful husband. We met on
01:29Facebook, June the 25th
01:332019 and I've got it in my diary
01:36Entry, new contact from Egypt
01:39Mohamed messaged me and
01:42told him I like archeology and it was my dream to see the pyramids and
01:48He suggested I go there. Well, Mohamed started mentioning marriage within weeks
01:54You know, chatting on Facebook
01:57How can you talk about marriage with someone you've never ever met?
02:02And I suggested we leave the subject of marriage until we actually met
02:08The first true meeting was in Cairo Airport. Cairo Airport, yeah
02:13When I found the address, I found chemistry like each other. That's all because
02:19Insight is important more than our sight, you know
02:24Oh
02:29Let me put my makeup on
02:33Put my face on. Mohamed and I usually go on romantic dates
02:40Walk in the park, walk along the seafront, you know
02:48You don't necessarily have to spend money to enjoy one end of this company
02:52Oh, you smell delicious. Thank you. I could eat you. Thank you
03:00Ready to paint the town red. Okay. The knees are not what they used to be, but I've no aches and pains
03:09That's the longest I've ever done it.
03:12I'm pretty fit for my age. I need to be to keep this gentleman supplied
03:23She's also a good wife. She's clean, but she's fussy. What do you call a good-looking woman?
03:29She's cooking for us. We help each other
03:34We have a gap between our age. It's 46 years
03:41It did bother me because of being so much older
03:45It turned out that Mohamed was younger than my sons and I was older than the rest of his family
03:53Put together, you know, but it wasn't a concern of his. He said doesn't matter what matters is
04:01the love we share
04:05When I started to tell the family about my relationship
04:09The reaction was not very good. I did lie at first and said he was 40
04:15But my youngest son found out and he said he's not 46 when he's only 35
04:20You know, you're really serious about this bloke and I said yes
04:25But you don't want squid. What squid? Calamari. It's like, well, I can't explain. It's horrible
04:31You won't like it anyway. I don't think you'll like it. But you like mussels?
04:36My son, he said, you know, it might be a scammer. I said there's no scammer. I can spot a scammer
04:42Mussels, shellfish
04:45Yeah, right. Is white?
04:47Finger white? Not white. No, mussels are
04:51Do you want steak? Do you want a fillet steak? No?
04:55But all my friends, they were all for it. Jealous, some people are jealous. Yeah, but my sons were, you know, naturally
05:02wary
05:03Mohamed wants risotto, Demar. No squid. What do you mean squid?
05:07Calamari. Calamari.
05:09I told you octopus.
05:11Octopus. When you meet my family. Yeah. What you feeling in Egypt?
05:16Wonderful. Mother and father welcomed me with open arms. Three, four times. As did his sisters, you know, they could see we had true love
05:24Yes, they want me happy
05:26Oh, lovely
05:28What's this? The risotto
05:30Yeah, risotto. What is prawns?
05:32Prawns. Prawns are these little ones here
05:34Yes, thank you
05:36It's nice to eat out and it saves me cooking at home
05:38To change, you know
05:40Change our routine
05:46I'm not going to eat much more of this
05:48Really?
05:50I'm afraid
05:52It's going in here
05:56Hey, that is not on camera
05:58It doesn't matter
06:00I'm bloody paying for it, it doesn't matter
06:10Thank you
06:12Bye
06:24It's practically impossible for an eastern man to come to Britain on whatever visa and get married over here
06:30It doesn't happen
06:32I had to go over there
06:34We went to the British Embassy in Cairo
06:36I went there three times
06:38And on the third time
06:40I was able to get married
06:42I stayed there for three months
06:44It took ages
06:46Well, what I'd like people to know about age gap relationships
06:48Going by our example is
06:54It does work, it can work
06:56Maybe it can't, you know
06:58But in our case, it's genuine
07:00And it can work
07:02We love each other, our love is growing day by day
07:08Thank you
07:14We have two trans kids
07:16Anyone can be whoever they want
07:18I'm just owning it
07:20Our family is seen to be very unconventional
07:24So I had kids and I can't be hot anymore
07:26Like, moms are hot too
07:28People say I look like a thug, but I love thugs
07:30I take that as a compliment
07:32I'm bored of people thinking that I cannot be intimate
07:36I'm a young, single, hot piece of disabled booty
07:40I feel like I'm going to look at myself and be like
07:42Who is that?
07:48Life is way too short to be hiding
07:50It is my story, it is my truth
08:06It is my story, it is my truth
