"It was really shocking, because people just don't give out my number," she said. A mutual friend gave him her number, as reported by PEOPLE. "I had been telling all my friends, 'We're too old to go out with really younger men, and I will never fall in love on text.' So I did what I said not to do!"

She says life with her man is simple. "No matter what happens, I love being with him," she added. "He makes me laugh, and we have fun. What I learned is that it's never too late. If you wrote out all the statistics, you would go, 'Well, this is doomed.' But we've been together a year, and if it was just a year, it would've been worth it. I've had the best time."
