True Love Isn't Dead: 50 Year Old Grandma Gets Engaged To A Twenty-Two Year Old Dude She Met On Tinder

Source - A grandmother-of-three has revealed how her fiancé is a whopping 28 years her junior.

Sharon Hawkins, 50, met Perry Hopstein, 22, on Tinder after lowering her age range down to 19, and since then, she is regularly mistaken for his mother. Now the loved-up couple, from North Carolina, plan to marry this year.

Sharon, a secondary school teacher, said: 'I may be old enough to be Perry's mother, but I won't let that stop me from chasing happiness. 'Perry and I know we're meant to be together and we don't care what other people think.'

Good for you, Perry. The only reason people are upset is because they're jealous. If they could go out and snatch up some twenty-two year old dick I'm sure they would...but they can't which is why they're hating. Here are some pictures of the happy couple...

You can view more of them here, although I don't suggest it. That said, the two of them seem thrilled to be together. Here's how their relationship came to be...

In 2015, Sharon's 16-year marriage ended after she grew apart from her husband. 'My ex-husband, who was a similar age to me, was great at first,' she said. 'In the last year of our relationship, I found myself stealing glances at men in their 20s whenever we went out.

'I vowed to find someone more suited to my spontaneous personality.' Years later, in January 2020, Sharon matched with Royal Marine, Perry, on dating app, Tinder.

She says: 'I'd lowered the age range down to 19.

'I scanned Perry's profile and realized he was 22, which made him 28 years younger than me. He was also younger than my three kids. 'Perry had piercing blue eyes, brown hair and muscular arms. He looked like a model.  'I told him how I was a grandmother but he didn't care.'

During the next few days, Sharon and Perry flirted back-and-forth over messages. The next week, Sharon invited him to her house.

She says: 'He was even sexier in real life. Even though we had such a large age gap, Perry was an old soul. We had a deep connection. 'Thankfully, my 23-year-old daughter who lives with me was fine with it.' The following week, Perry returned to Sharon's house to cook dinner for her and her daughter. Sharon says: 'As Perry handed my daughter her plate, she said, "Thanks, kid". We all laughed. 'I was glad we could make a joke of it.'

In other words, Grandma got horny on Tinder. The weirdest part of the whole thing is that her kids were okay with it. If my mom brought home a twenty-two year old guy who then proceeded to cook me breakfast I would lose my mind. Call be old fashioned, but I'd take it as a personal insult and never talk to my mother again. There's also a significant chance I be arrested for capital murder. Regardless, Perry's family was just as cool with it as Sharon's…

Sharon says: 'We had to come clean to Perry's mother, who was the same age as me. I was so nervous. Perry lied and told her I was in my 40s, not wanting to give her too much of a shock. Then, eventually, I met her and much to my relief, she welcomed me with open arms. She said she could tell how happy I made Perry. I was so relieved she'd accepted me into the family. Not long after, Perry met my sons, who are in their late 20s and my grandkids too. They all hit it off.'

Strange stuff. Hopefully it works out between these two- something tells me it will. Cheers to the happy couple!!
