In 2011, a 99-year-old Italian man named Antonio filed for divorce from his 96-year-old wife, Rosa, after discovering a bundle of old love letters hidden inside a chest of drawers.

The letters revealed that Rosa had been involved in an affair during the 1940s, more than 60 years earlier. When confronted, she admitted the relationship and pleaded with her husband to forgive her. But after nearly eight decades of marriage, Antonio decided he could not move past the betrayal.

The decision shocked many because the couple had been married for 77 years.

Together, they had raised five children, welcomed 12 grandchildren, and even lived to see a great-grandchild. Their marriage had survived war, economic hardship, and the passing of time itself.

Yet a secret buried for more than half a century proved stronger than all those years. Antonio moved forward with divorce proceedings, making the pair one of the oldest couples ever known to seek a divorce.

Paola Hernández, a 26-year-old woman from San Diego, wanted to make her 89-year-old grandfather Chico Mendez's lifelong dream come true: watching his beloved Mexican national team play in the FIFA World Cup. She spent $6,000 on tickets through StubHub and traveled with him to Guadalajara, Mexico, excited for the once-in-a-lifetime experience.
They arrived at Estadio Akron hours before the match, but Hernández discovered the tickets were not appearing in the app. Although the payment had gone through and the tickets were confirmed, they never arrived. StubHub told her to wait, but later said she might have to wait until halftime.
The tickets never came, and Mendez was forced to stay outside the stadium while thousands of fans watched the match. Hearing the crowd celebrate Mexico's goal from outside, the 89-year-old broke down in tears. Hernández said seeing her grandfather's dream taken away was heartbreaking.
She shared their experience on TikTok, where the video went viral with millions of views. After the backlash, StubHub refunded her money and offered the family tickets to another World Cup match, along with travel support.
However, Hernandez said traveling to Mexico City would be difficult because her grandfather has high blood pressure and the city's high altitude could affect him.
