She says her husband is no “sugar daddy.”

A couple recently went viral on social media after 24-year-old Miracle Pogue married her 85-year-old partner, Charles Pogue.

According to The New York Post, the couple not only shares a 61-year age gap, but Charles is two decades older that Miracle’s own grandfather.

Miracle said that even after she found out Charles’ age, during a conversation where he revealed he was born in 1937, she was still attracted to his confidence, and their friendship eventually turned romantic.

“I never even placed his age, we just wanted to see how it went. I don’t care if he’s 100 or 55, I like him for him. I thought he was maybe 60 or 70 because he looks so good,” she added. “He’s always up and active.”

The couple met in 2019 while Miracle was working at a laundromat in Starkeville. Charles proposed to Miracle in 2020, and they were married last summer.

Reportedly, Miracle’s family had opposing views on the relationship. Her mother, Tamika Phillips, 45, and her grandfather, Joe Brown, 72, fully supported the couple’s decision, but Miracle’s father, Kareem Phillips, 47, didn’t necessarily approve of the relationship. Even though it took a lot of time to convince her father, Miracle told him his absence from her wedding would cause him to lose her, because she needed his support and wanted him to walk her down the aisle.

“Once he got to meet Charles and talk to him, he loved him,” Miracle shared.

“She’s got her life in order, she’s great,” Charles said of his young wife. “The wedding day was wonderful, it was the best day of my life. There’s no problem with the age difference.”

The U.S. Sun reported that the couple started research on IVF, as they plan to start a family.

Miracle knows she will most likely outlive her husband, however, she hopes to create another generation, and make Charles a first-time father.
