Layl and Eleonora Gittens from Florida broke the world record - they were officially recognized as the oldest married couple in human history.
The story of Layl and Eleanor's acquaintance dates back to 1941. They met while studying at Clark University and married a year later. However, shortly after the wedding, Leil was drafted into World War II.
Then pregnant Eleanor wrote to Leil every day, hoping that he would return safely from the front. His belief wasn't in vain - Leil returned safely from the war, and the family reunited.
Today Layl is 108 years old, and Eleanor is 107 years old. They are not only elderly people over a hundred years old, but also the longest married couple in the world, having lived together for 83 years.
To those who ask about the secret of longevity and love, they answer:
- "Everything is very simple, just live with love!"
