On Valentine’s Day 2012, sparks will fly on The Brand New ONE with the world premiere broadcast of Love, Later in Life, an original 30-minute documentary hosted by veteran television journalist Jojo Chintoh.
Love, Later in Life explores the courtship and present life of four sets of couples who unexpectedly fell in love after 45. Lynn and Clarence (48 & 69) met on the golf course; Gordon & Sharon (65 & 70) connected at a seniors’ speed dating event; Hugh and Ethel (93 & 82) met at their retirement residence; and high school sweethearts Ray and Linda (63 & 62) re-kindled their romance over 40 years later.
Widowed or divorced thrice over, most thought it would be nice to find an occasional dinner mate or travel partner, but had closed the book on giving love another shot. Instead, they found much more than they were looking for.
Through intimate interviews, Jojo Chintoh brings viewers their fresh perspectives on passion, relationships, and the meaning of life. Time’s ravaging hands don’t seem to matter anymore. That wrinkle on your face now adds “character”. Those extra pounds really are “love handles”. She wants it platonic, he wants sex, but he’ll abstain for the sake of companionship.
Studies show that sexual and emotional satisfaction actually increases with age, and as our couples unanimously reveal, the secret to a long life is having someone to love. “I can’t believe it. I feel like a kid again. This is silly,” they say.
Age is just a number when it comes to Dating, Mating and Relating.
Love, Later in Life
