A strange love story from Osaka, Japan is now going viral on social media. Despite the age gap of not one generation, but three generations, love has not stopped.
Kofu, a 23-year-old university student, has fallen in love with his classmate’s 83-year-old grandmother, Aiko. They have been in a relationship for six months and have now started living together.
Love Begins at Disneyland
The two met in January this year, when Kofu went to a friend’s house. There, he was fascinated by Aiko at first sight. At first, both of them kept their feelings secret, but one day, Aiko’s granddaughter planned a family trip to Disneyland, which she later canceled.
Only Kofu and Aiko went on that trip, and there, Kofu confessed his love at the moment of sunset in front of Cinderella Castle. Aiko said that at that moment, she was enchanted.
Colorful Life Even at 83
Born in Osaka in 1942, Aiko was once a professional horticulturist, and now has her own large botanical garden. She has been divorced twice, has a son, a daughter, and five grandchildren.
Yet her love for life has not diminished one bit. She exercises regularly, takes care of her appearance, and is an example of eternal youth. Kofu says that the happiest moment of her day is waking up in the morning and seeing Aiko’s face.
On the other hand, Aiko also admitted that she feels lonely when Kofu goes to work, but when he cooks for her, he feels renewed.
Reaction From Family and Society
Although their relationship was initially kept secret, both families later supported it. They said that there is nothing wrong with two adults being happy.
Although the reaction on social media was mixed. Many people took it as funny way-
On the other hand others praised their courage and sincerity, while others joked that maybe Grandma is rich, so the love endured!
Someone else commented in surprise, saying that Aiko’s appearance is incomparable to the appearance of their grandmothers in their country, she is so beautiful and youthful!
