A Mississippi woman is making waves for her marriage. Miracle Pogue, 24, is married to Charles Pogue, 85. Yes, you read that correctly. They have a 61-year age difference. The couple met in 2019, started dating in 2020, and tied the knot last year, with Miracle describing it as the "best day of my life," according to the Daily Mail. The wildest part? Despite Charles' age, the couple still wants to have children together.

Even though Charles is 85, and Miracle will almost definitely outlive him, she wants to have his children.
"I want him to have another generation. We're looking to go to an IVF clinic to talk about our options," she said.
She talked about an earlier visit to an IVF clinic where the employees judged them and their age difference. However, she is willing to overlook the judgment if it means that she gets to have her husband's children. She's looking to have two children, even though Charles may not live long enough to see them graduate from high school.
"People making comments online doesn't make a difference, we just let them do their thing. We're very happy together," Miracle said.
She also shared that people have mistaken her husband for her father, which she just laughs off. Her husband is actually a full decade older than Miracle's own grandfather. She also said that strangers assume she's a gold digger, but she's a nurse and has no problem taking care of herself financially.
"It's so crazy that people come after me, as he's the older one. He's with me of his own free will, he chose me. I've learned it's OK for people to say how they feel, it's a free country," she added.
Clearly, the age difference isn't slowing them down!
