When it comes to love, age is just a number—or is it?
Iris Jones, an 83-year-old grandma who once went viral for her unfiltered remarks about her whirlwind romance with a much younger man, has revealed that her two-year marriage is over.
You might remember Iris as the candid guest on This Morning, where she gleefully shared details of her love story with Mohamed Ibriham, a 37-year-old Egyptian man. Their relationship began in 2019 when they connected on Facebook. A year later, they exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony, defying critics who questioned their 40-year age gap.
But it wasn’t just the age difference that had people talking—it was Iris’s unapologetically bold revelations about their honeymoon antics. She famously recounted a night of fiery passion, involving an “entire tube of KY jelly” that left her “saddle sore.” And if that wasn’t enough to make headlines, she didn’t shy away from declaring her favorite position. Let’s just say, Iris lived life her way!
Despite their public displays of affection, skepticism surrounded their marriage. Many speculated Mohamed’s intentions, with whispers of financial gain or visa motivations. Mohamed, however, fiercely defended their love. “People can go to hell,” he declared on national TV. “The love does not know any difference between age or countries.”
For a while, the couple seemed unshakable, but love doesn’t always last forever. Two years after tying the knot, Iris has called it quits. In an interview with Closer, she reflected on her time with Mohamed, saying, “I adored everything about him, but it became hard work. Instead of making love, we were just arguing all the time. I’m not a lovesick teenager—I’m 83!”
But don’t feel sorry for Iris—she’s moved on, and her new love is… a cat. Yes, shortly after Mohamed left, Iris adopted a feline friend who she says is the perfect companion. “He never complains, he’s beautiful to look at, and he doesn’t create a mess,” she gushed. “Unlike Mohamed, who even took my tempura battered prawns when he left!”
Oh, Mohamed, stealing her prawns? That’s a low blow.
While the marriage may be over, Iris has no regrets. Her unapologetic attitude and sharp wit remind us that it’s never too late to rewrite your story—and that sometimes, the best love is the kind that doesn’t argue or eat your dinner.
