'A business plan': Is their 61-year age gap love genuine or just for money?
- Replies 1
When it comes to love, some relationships spark curiosity and controversy.
In the case of Miracle and Charles, their connection has left many questioning the boundaries of age and happiness.
What happens when love defies societal expectations? Here's their story.
Miracle Pogue and her husband Charles, who share a 61-year age gap, have been married for three years and continue to shut down negative online commentary.
Despite the massive age difference, the couple—Miracle, 26, and Charles, 87—are unwavering in their commitment to each other.
Their relationship, often targeted by trolls, has drawn harsh criticism, with some calling their marriage a ‘business plan’.
The couple first met when Miracle worked at a laundrette in Starkville, Mississippi, and quickly formed a deep connection.
Though they’ve faced constant online abuse, they refuse to let it affect their happiness.
Recently, Miracle shared a social media video on social media of the couple dancing together in their home, confidently participating in the viral ‘left right challenge’.
In the clip, Miracle wore a matching outfit with slip-on sandals, while Charles looked dapper in a blue shirt, shorts, trainers, and long socks.
Along with the video, Miracle posted: ‘When [you’re] happily married and unbothered.’
The video, which quickly went viral, amassed 1.7 million views and sparked mixed reactions.
Some praised the couple’s love, with one viewer commenting, ‘How adorable.’
Others expressed their admiration, saying, ‘I love it’ and ‘Society always has something to say about people’s happiness and to me that speaks volumes of people’s misery.’
However, others took a different stance, with one person suggesting: ‘Must be the money.’
Another said, ‘I know a business plan when I see one.’
In an earlier interview, Miracle opened up about their relationship, saying: ‘I knew he was older but I didn’t know his age exactly. When I found out I was in too deep, it was a couple of months in and I already had feelings for him.’
Miracle also shared how she didn’t care about their age difference, saying: ‘He was my baby and he wasn’t going anywhere. I don’t care if he’s 100 or 55, I like him for him.’
She continued: ‘I thought he was maybe 60 or 70 because he looks so good. He’s always up and active.’
The couple has talked about preparing for the future, with Miracle saying: ‘We prepare for things and he says he might not be here in five years.’
‘I tell him he will and he’ll outlive us all. I know realistically I’ll be around longer than him so I try to live and have fun and experience as much as I can with him. We try to live it up.’
Miracle’s father wasn’t immediately on board with the relationship, questioning whether he should attend their wedding.
She explained: ‘My grandad said if I was happy and it’s what I want to do then he’s happy. My dad was like, ‘hell no ma’am, not at all.’’
‘It took a lot of time to convince him but I asked him if he wanted to lose his daughter forever. If he didn’t come to my wedding, he would have lost me forever. I told him I needed his support and to walk me down the aisle. Once he got to meet Charles and talk to him, he loved him.’
The couple is now eager to have children, and they’ve been exploring IVF as an option to grow their family.
Miracle said: ‘I want him to have another generation. We’re looking to go to an IVF clinic to talk about our options.’
‘We went to an IVF clinic before but we really felt the pre-judgment even though they don’t know me and it was quite overwhelming.’
‘Now I’m forgetting it as long as they give me my baby. Maybe Charles’s age will stop us from having children but I have an open mind. It may not work.’
Despite the online hate they’ve received, Charles remained unfazed, stating: ‘Miracle has got a lot going for her. She’s got her life in order, she’s great.’
‘There’s no problem with the age difference. People making comments online doesn’t make a difference, we just let them do their thing.’
‘We’re very happy together. We’re looking forward to starting a family together.’
Miracle acknowledged the impact of online negativity, saying: ‘People on the internet make me feel weird. I get backlash from people who don’t know me or love me, they just call it as they see it.’
‘I posted my man online and it blew further than I could even imagine. People were saying I’m using Charles, he doesn’t know what’s going on and saying I should be ashamed.’
She also clarified her financial situation, saying: ‘Of course, people mention finances but I’m a nurse. I was starting medical school when I met him.’
‘I will be well off with or without Charles, it’s a choice to be with him and it makes me feel good that he chooses me.’
