72 year old husband died, 22 year old wife became widow, then 81 year old fell in love with her and got married!

It is said that love is blind. But is he so blind that he cannot even see the age of two people in a relationship? You must have read many such news in which there is a huge age difference between husband and wife. But today we are going to tell about an American woman, whose age is very young and she fell in love with an elderly man, whom she married. But after his death, she fell in love with a man much older than her husband.

A unique and emotional love story has emerged from Virginia, America, which has sparked discussion from social media to local communities. 22-year-old Lexi Howell, who was devastated after the death of her 72-year-old husband Bruce in April 2024, met 81-year-old Edward Howell at the same club three months later and both found new solace in each other. Lexi and Bruce met at a war veteran’s club, where Lexi often visited. Both lived together for three years. When Bruce got cancer, Lexi quit her job and took care of him till his last breath.

First husband died
Lexi says, “Bruce said that he would not leave this world without making me his wife.” The two married while Bruce was in bed, and a few months later Bruce died. In his inheritance, Bruce left only his most beloved thing – a £40,000 (Rs 48 lakh) Mustang car to Lexi. Lexi was completely broken after Bruce’s death. One day in the same club, she was wiping tears when 81-year-old Edward slowly approached her. Edward told that he too had lost his wife two years ago. Lexi felt that there was a similar emptiness in both their hearts and the conversation started from here. Gradually, despite the age difference of 55 years, Lexie started liking Edward’s calm nature and loving behavior.
