Pensioner melts hearts by declaring wife, 66, is better looking than model, 19, crowned ‘world’s most beautiful woman’
WHETHER she’s dressed up to the nines or kicking back in her comfiest clothes on the sofa, it’s basically a husband’s job to tell his wife that she looks lovely each and every day.
But one loved-up pensioner has set the bar high for blokes everywhere after he declared his wife was better looking than the model recently crowned the “world’s most beautiful woman”.
Earlier this month, model and actress Yael Shelbia, 19, beat the rest of the world’s female population to take the top spot on the annual TC Candler list.
After reading about the story on Facebook, Richard Freemantle, from Portsmouth, commented on the post and claimed that Yael doesn’t hold a candle to his wife Christine.
Admitting that Yael was certainly “attractive”, Richard wrote: “But [she is] still not as beautiful as my wife.
“She is 66, just getting her pension.”
Needless to say, Richard’s sweet comment melted social media users’ hearts – and his response quickly went viral on Twitter.
One Twitter user shared a screenshot of the comment captioning it with: “Good morning to everyone, especially Richard Freemantle.”
Meanwhile, many others commented to say Richard is a “gentleman”, “a real man” and “cute”.
One wrote: “Aw look at that really sweet stuff to see.”
Another added: “Wait that’s really wholesome omg.”
A third gushed: “Good man, marry the right woman and you’ll always adore her.”
