I married my father-in-law – I’ve known him since I was 16 and despite the 29-year age gap our relationship is perfect
Apr 20, 2021
A WOMAN has revealed how she is now married to her father-in-law - despite a 29 year age gap – and they have a baby girl.
When Erica Quiggle’s relationship with her first husband, factory worker Justin Towell – father of her nine-year-old son – faltered in 2011, her father-in-law, Jeff Quiggle, 60, an engineer, offered her a shoulder to cry on.
But stay-at-home mum, Erica, 31, of Kentucky, USA – who was just 19 when she married Justin, now 38 – soon found her gratitude to his stepdad Jeff blossoming into love.
Not wanting to hurt anyone and with an age gap of almost 30 years, she tried to fight her feelings but, in 2017, by which time their respective marriages had ended, Jeff had confessed to feeling the same and they made their love public.
They then completed their family when their daughter, Brexlee, two, was born in 2018, after they were married in August that year.
Erica, who had known Jeff through Justin’s sister since she was 16, said: “It sounds scandalous, but we had this love we could not deny.
“Despite everything, our relationship now is perfect.
“Jeff is the young soul and I’m the old soul. He laughs when I say that, but it all worked out – and Justin was the most understanding person.”
Erica shares custody of her son with Justin, who has remarried and still lives in the same close-knit community – as does his mum – and now wishes the couple well.
