Charles, a retired real estate agent, finally admitted his feelings for the nurse a year after they met, and he proposed in February 2020.
Charles has no children, so the couple is considering IVF in the hopes of starting a family and ensuring Charles leaves a new generation.
Miracle claims that her mother, Tamika Phillips, 45, and grandfather, Joe Brown, 72, were both supportive of the relationship from the start after witnessing how happy the pensioner made her, but her father, Kareem Phillips, 47, was more difficult to persuade.
“Charles used to bring in one item of clothing and only want me to serve him,” Miracle recalled of her relationship with Charles while working in the launderette.
