A divorced mum-of-two looking for love on Tinder was shocked when she fell for a man 23 years her junior - after forgetting to change her age limit settings.
Rachel Caudele, 48, and Alex Michael, 25 - who are more than two decades apart in age - met on the app in 2020.
The pair hit it off, and after a whirlwind romance where Rachel flew to New York, US, from Texas, US, to meet Alex for the first time - where they had an ''instant connection''.
Now both settled and living together in Austin, Texas, US, they claim "age is just a number" and they are ''rock solid'' - despite some initial ups and downs.
It wasn't all plain sailing as the pair nearly split when Rachel found out Alex, who works as a website creator for pharmaceutical companies, was messaging other women.
But they are back on track and are now fully committed to each, despite disapproval from some relatives.
