74-year-old woman happily married to 34-year-old man

Christine Haycox, a 74-year-old grandmother, is happily in a relationship with Hamza Dridi, a 40-year-old man from Tunisia. The couple has a 34-year age difference but says it doesn’t matter to them. They believe age is just a number and they wish they had met sooner. The couple met seven years ago during an online English language course that Haycox was teaching. Dridi responded to a Facebook ad from Haycox in 2018, and they quickly fell in love. Haycox then took a one-way flight to Tunisia to be with Dridi, and they got married in 2020 in a small ceremony. Haycox, who was previously married for over 30 years, has two children and two grandchildren. She has converted to Islam for Dridi, who admires her intelligence and personality. They share a home together, with Dridi handling most household chores. Despite their happiness, the couple has received negative comments about their relationship due to their age difference. Some people have suggested that Dridi is only with Haycox for her money or a visa. Haycox has clarified that she is an ordinary teacher and that Dridi is very family-oriented. The couple hopes to get a visa for Dridi so they can move to the UK for Haycox's medical needs.
