Despite the 61-year difference in age, the pair are so happy together that they are looking into IVF clinics in hopes of being able to start a family and ensure that childless Charles leaves behind a new generation of heirs, reveals the tabloid.
Miracle tells the Daily Mail that his mother Tamika Phillips, 45, and grandfather Joe Brown, 72, were supportive of the relationship from the start after meeting the retiree and seeing how happy he made her. Who did not like the relationship was the young woman’s father, Kareem Phillips, 47, who proved to be “difficult to convince”.
“Charles used to bring in an item of clothing to be washed and he wanted me to help him. One day, he walked into the laundry room and threw a piece of paper on the floor, saying ‘write your phone’. He was my knight in shining armor. We had good energy, he didn’t make me feel awkward. It was a good conversation, he put me at ease. I knew he was older, but I didn’t know exactly how old he was,” Miracle Pogue told the tabloid.
According to her, when she realized it, she was already very involved with the retiree and only found out his true age when, at a certain point, a conversation arose in which they asked each other’s date of birth. “He said he was born in 1937. I never even questioned his age, we just wanted it to work out. I don’t care if he’s 100 or 55, I like him as he is. I thought he was in his 60s or 70s because he looks so good. He is always awake and active”, adds the American.
Charles Pogue claims to the British tabloid that Miracle has many qualities.
“The wedding day was wonderful, it was the best of my life. There is no problem with the difference in age”, comments the retiree.
The two tied the knot in July 2022 and Miracle describes the day as “the best day of his life”.
Despite the age difference, she reveals that she is desperate to start a family with Charles and hopes to have two children, despite knowing that she will likely have to care for the children herself in the future.
“I want him to have heirs. We want to go to an IVF clinic to understand our options. We already went to a clinic, but we felt that there was prejudice, although they didn’t know us and it was quite sad. Now I don’t even care as long as they give me my baby. Perhaps Charles’ age prevents us from having children, but I have an open mind, I know it might not work,” Miracle Pogue tells the Daily Mail.
