Secondary school teacher Sharon Hawkins is often mistaken for Perry Hopstein's mum but the loved-up couple plan to marry this year after they met through the dating app last January
Sharon Hawkins, 50, matched with 22-year-old Perry Hopstein after she lowered her age range on the dating app to 19.
The secondary school teacher is often mistaken for Perry's mum but the loved-up couple, from North Carolina, US, plan to marry this year.
Divorcee Sharon 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."
Sharon said her 16-year marriage to her ex-husband, who was a similar age to her, ended in 2015 after they 'grew apart'.
"In the last year of our relationship, I found myself stealing glances at men in their 20s whenever we went out," she said.
"I vowed to find someone more suited to my spontaneous personality."
Sharon matched with Royal Marine Perry in January 2020 after she changed her settings on Tinder.
