Over the next 50 years, Len wed, had three children, and later divorced his wife.

Jeanette, in turn, had two kids and was married to a naval officer.

After his marriage ended, the longing older man decided to look up his old flame and finally tracked her down – but there was another obstacle to their romance, as she was still married to her husband who would pass on two years later from cancer.

After her spouse passed, Jeanette reached out to Len using the address of a Christmas card he sent her, METRO reported.

In 2018, Jeanette moved to Stevenage in England with Len, and by 2022, he was down on one knee again.

In February 2023, the two lovers finally became husband and wife, with all their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren present at the wonderful event.
