A British grandmother who married her much younger Egyptian boyfriend and shocked everyone with intimate details of her love life has not parted ways from him.
Iris Jones from Weston-super-Mare, who divorced her first husband some 40 years ago, married Mohamed, 35, after meeting him on a Facebook group in 2020.
The newlyweds celebrated their union at a local KFC in Egypt.
“He is wonderful, but the fact that their father is younger than their sons is maybe a point of contention. But it makes no difference. I’m older than his mother and father, my mother-in-law and father-in-law are younger than me,” she added. “It makes no difference, we love each other and that’s all that matters.”
The pair didn’t have a traditional wedding but signed a document written in Arabic to make their marriage official.
“It was an exchange of documents. We had to sign several documents for the signature,” she said. “After that, the document was handed to us, one for Mohamed and one for me, all in Arabic, I don’t know what it says at all. It might say that I’m completely under his thumb, but if that’s the case, I’m not,” Iris added.
Speaking about their relationship, Mohamed said he was very happy and content, and the age difference didn’t mean anything to him.
“My feel is very good, ‘Egyptian men are good men who take care of their wives,” he told This Morning.
“We desperately need to get Mohamed to the UK, and so Mr. Prime Minister is listening, do your best and get the whip out and get Mohamed a Visa for the UK,” said Iris.
“He would be an asset for the country, he’s a qualified engineer, and he would be good for the economy. That’s all we want, he’s very good around the house because I’m training him well.”
However, Iris, who gained international fame after sharing details of her sex life with the world, and her toyboy husband, Mohamed, have now called it quits after two years of marriage.
“I adored everything about Mohammed. But it became hard work. We used to have a great sex life, but then, rather than making love, we ended up arguing all the time about anything and everything. I can’t be doing with that. I’m not a lovesick teenager. I’m 83,” she told Closer.
Adding that she is not living with her cat, who is her full-time companion, Jones said,
“I got him just a few days after Mohammed moved out, and he’s the perfect companion. He never complains, is very quiet and beautiful to look at – I adore him.”
“And he’s very happy here and doesn’t create an mess, I’m not missing Mohammed at all, the thing that annoyed me the most when he left was he took my tempura battered prawns that I’d planned for my dinner that night.”
Earlier this year, Iris told This Morning that she had not heard from her family ever since she and Mohamed tied the knot.
“She said her family has not contacted her since she and Mohamed tied the knot earlier this week, and that she would try to get in touch with them before returning to the UK on 11th December,” per Daily Mail.
“I’m getting the silent treatment, I haven’t heard anything yet, I’ll get in touch with them when I’m about to return to England on 11 December because I need to know how they feel about Mohamed,” Jones told This Morning.
Mohamed told This Morning that many people had labeled him a gold digger who married Iris because of her British nationality.
“People think I am with her for all the wrong reasons. I know Britain is a beautiful country and a lot of people want to go there but I’m not bothered. I’m prepared to live with her anywhere in the world.”
