Shorna & Adnand

(45, UK) & (25, Albania)

Shorna, 45, met 25-year-old Adnand, an Albanian golf buggy driver, during a family holiday in Greece (via Express.) Despite the age gap and different backgrounds, the pair formed an unexpected connection. Their bond deepened even after Shorna returned to the UK, with the couple continuing their relationship long-distance across borders.

In a surprising development, Shorna decided to convert to Mormonism, a choice that dramatically altered the course of their relationship. Her new faith meant committing to a more spiritually focused connection, ruling out physical intimacy with Adnand. This emotional and cultural twist adds complexity to their journey, testing the strength of their bond under very unconventional circumstances.

Shannon & Mete

Shannon, 25, from Liverpool, met 32-year-old Mete during a 2023 holiday in Marmaris, Turkey. Their chemistry was instant, sparking a holiday romance that quickly intensified. Despite living in different countries, they decided to pursue a serious relationship, hoping their strong initial connection could overcome the challenges of distance and cultural differences.

However, trouble soon surfaced. Mete’s “very jealous” personality clashed with Shannon’s outgoing lifestyle and mostly male circle of friends back home. Their frequent arguments over trust and boundaries have put a strain on their relationship. As they work through insecurities and cultural clashes, Shannon and Mete must decide if love alone is enough to make it last.

“I’ve got brittle bones. I’ve broken over 200 bones in my life.”

After just one month of talking, Andy flew to the Philippines to propose to Arrah, hoping to take their relationship to the next level. However, the quick decision raises questions about whether they’re truly ready for such a big step. Love may not be enough to help them overcome their challenges.
