Love knows no boundaries, and age is just a number, as evidenced by the story of Yusta Lucas Lucas, a 60-year-old Tanzanian woman who is set to marry her 27-year-old partner.
The couple met three years ago, after Yusta’s first husband passed away. Yusta said that she was initially hesitant to date someone so much younger than her, but she was eventually won over by his kindness and maturity.
“He is a very kind and mature man,” Yusta said in an interview with Mbengo TV. “He treats me with respect, and he makes me feel loved.”
The couple’s age difference has not been without its challenges. Yusta’s family and friends were initially skeptical of her relationship, but they have since come around.
“My family and friends were initially worried about the age difference,” Yusta said. “But they have since come to see how happy we are together, and they have accepted our relationship.”
Yusta and her partner are planning to get married later this year. They are excited to start their new life together, and they are confident that their love will overcome any challenges that they may face.
