"I got my first relationship in my 40s - after a stranger messaged me on TikTok"

A woman who had been single her entire life has found love in her 40s after a man messaged her on TikTok.

Mia Chard, 42, from Salt Lake City, Utah, had struggled to form romantic connections despite dating attempts in her younger years.

Raised in the Mormon faith, she faced societal pressure to marry but never found the right match.

In August 2024, she documented her single life online, catching the attention of Max, 40, who messaged her.

After dating for a month, they became a couple and are now enjoying their relationship without pressure.
