the essentials in brief
- Pensioner Iris Jones from England talks about her relationship with an Egyptian.
- The two met on Facebook in 2019 and married in October 2020.
- The separation followed in 2023 – he was greedy for money and didn’t help around the house.
84-year-old Iris Jones from England tells her story about a failed relationship with an Egyptian man. She and Mohamed Ibrahim had a 46-year age difference – he was 38 when they met.
She met him in November 2019 and agreed to marry him just days after their first meeting. Jones was adamant that love would last. However, the relationship ended in June 2023 after several arguments over finances and household chores.
Iris tells “The Sun”: “I’m so glad I’m free of Mohamed.” She was recently contacted by another pensioner who claimed she had also been scammed by Mohamed. This woman’s story is very similar to her own experience with him: wild gestures at the beginning of the relationship and then a gradual decline until the realization of his greed for money.
She warns other women about his behavior: “But I want to warn other women about the way he works.” Despite her bad experience, Iris remains optimistic and hopes for a new partner in her life: “I want a new man for Christmas.”
“He was only interested in money”
Iris remembers her relationship with Mohamed. In June 2019, she met him through an atheist group on Facebook. She visited him for the first time in Egypt in November 2019.
“He arrived at the airport with a bouquet of roses and took me by storm,” said the 84-year-old. She stayed with Mohamed in Egypt for a month. He repeatedly told her that he loved her and wanted to marry her.
The marriage proposal didn’t take long to arrive. The two finally got married in October 2020, and around a year later the Egyptian moved to Iris in England. Despite the romantic gestures at the beginning, the relationship began to crumble.
“We had some good times, but I think I was still in love at the time and wearing rose-colored glasses,” says Iris. The disputes began in January 2023 over household tasks and money matters.
“He started to be very greedy for money and I realized that was all he was interested in.” Mohamed even wanted Iris to leave her bungalow to him in her will.
Separation and new beginnings
In June 2023, Iris separated from Mohamed. But six months later she feels ready for a new man in her life: “I’m going forward and upward. I want a new husband for Christmas.” The 84-year-old wants a partner who is “pretty much the opposite of Mohamed”.
