A bitter war of words has erupted between an 84-year-old woman and her Egyptian toy-boy lover – with the pensioner branding him a “selfish money-grabber”, and him hitting back by accusing her of “using him for sex”. Iris Jones made headlines after marrying Mohamed Ibrahim, 37 in 2020, at which point they shared intimate details about their sex life.
However, it appears the path to true love has been anything but smooth, with Mrs Jones claiming her much-young-lover has ditched her for another elderly rival.
The pair met in 2019, via Facebook, tying the knot less than a year later. The wedding enabled Mr Mohamed to obtain a visa to come and work in the UK – but their stormy relationship was marred by money rows.
Ms Jones, who two sons, Stephen, 57, and Darren, 56, told The Sun: “I’m so glad I got rid of Mohamed. A couple of weeks ago I was contacted out of the blue by another woman through Facebook – she’s a pensioner too and a grandmother and was furious that she’d been taken for a ride by Mohamed.” Mr Ibrahim had now moved from her bungalow in Weston Super Mare to the second woman’s home in Leeds, she claimed, insisting she “didn’t feel a shred” of jealousy or regret.”
In the case of the second woman, the romance had followed the same pattern, Ms Jones said.
She explained: “Wild over the top gestures at the beginning, bringing armfuls of flowers to the first meeting, promising the world, proposing within days. He even acted the same towards us in the bedroom!
“And then a gradual decline in the relationship, until you finally realise he’s nothing but a money grabber.
“He probably likes to think we’re fighting over him – in reality we’re both relieved to be rid of him – though she’s feeling pretty raw over it. I’m indifferent to him.”
Ms Jones continued: “But I want to warn other women about the way he works before they’re duped by him too. I’ve always thought I’m pretty savvy but I was taken in by his ‘charm’. I’m going onwards and upwards.
“I’d like a new man for Christmas – this time he’ll be solvent, handsome, slim, close to my age, have his own home, and in an ideal world I’d like a man in uniform – so pretty much the opposite to Mohamed!
“I’m already chatting to a lovely man in Wales, who’s 76, so still younger and we chat about everything from the cost of living to Brexit – he’s very educated and interesting.”
Speaking to the Mail earlier this year, Mr Ibrahim has a slightly different perspective. He said: “I treated Iris like a queen, but she used me as a sex slave. I loved her but she broke my heart.”
