An Egyptian toyboy who married an elderly British woman is blasting critics who claim he is using her for a visa and money.
Mohamed Ibriham, 36, befriended Iris Jones, 82, on Facebook in the summer of 2019 and the pair quickly struck up a romance.
Jones — who is retired and gets by on a £200 ($266) weekly government allowance — flew to Cairo to meet Ibriham before they tied the knot in November 2020.
Ibraham recently relocated to the UK but insists he did not woo Jones purely to take up residency in Britain.
The couple appeared on British chat show “This Morning” Tuesday to defend the legitimacy of their relationship.
“Some people attack us. Why? I am working,” Ibrahim declared. “I’m not with Iris because I need something … I am a rich man, I have a bungalow in Cairo.”
Ibraham further claimed Jones was “the boss” in their relationship.
Still, Jones admitted it hasn’t been smooth sailing since her husband moved in with her.
“We’re going through problems now because Mohamed is adjusting to life in the west and I’m adjusting to having a man around the place,” she confessed.
The pair hit headlines last year when they revealed graphic details about their sex life in a separate interview with “This Morning.”
Jones told the program: “The first night was pretty rough. Nobody had been near me for 35 years … I thought I was a virgin again!”
The elderly woman continued: “Can I tell you what we used? A whole tube of KY jelly. The thing is I couldn’t walk the next day … I felt like I was riding a horse!”
The pair also took the opportunity during that interview to defend their romance, according to the Daily Mail.
“The love does not know any difference between age, or countries,” Ibraham declared. “This is our life, Iris chose me and I chose Iris.”
“I want to say for all the people who attack our love, it’s none of your business, focus your lives, go to hell. That is all.”
The couple’s relationship isn’t the only one to face scrutiny due to a significant age gap.
Milind Soman, a 52-year-old Indian actor, defended his relationship with Ankita Konwar, an 18-year-old flight attendant, in 2017.
Meanwhile, 33-year-old Lorena Matarrita told The Post in 2019 that she was crazy in love with her much-older beau Nick Bisesi, 57, despite their 24-year age gap.
