60 and she's 23 or so. These old guy/young woman marriages are not as frowned on in the Philippines. The take over there is that Art Bell is a man of wealth and power who would like a young wife to make some more babies. I would be totally amazed if they didn't have children. She prolly considers it an honor to have children by such a great man. That's how it is in many 3rd world nations. IMHO. Her logic would be my children will grow up in a very solid existence compared to if I married a 23 year old Filipino man

I will be absolutely disgusted if they had children. How would you like to be that child? Graduate high school when your father is in his 80's, if not dead??? I consider it grossly immoral to have children when a parent is more than 40, let alone 60! You also increase the probability of slamming your child with death early in life. I have just a slight bit - very slight bit - of experience with this. My parents are approaching 60, while many people my age have their parents in their 40's. Don't be selfish and hurt and potentially permanently damage your children (I'm not referring to myself, BTW)!

I'm listening to the replay of last's night show (fell asleep during the first half-hour break). Astonishing - the first time he met his wife was at the wedding!!!

Oh, yeah. Hundreds of hours of video conferencing. What a splendid way to date someone!

If she was at least 40, I would be OK with it. Some people can't stand being alone, I accept that. But a 40 YEAR DIFFERENCE?!

Art's my favorite C2C host, but he sounds crazy (I am listening, even now...). He thinks Ramona is influencing his romantic affairs from...elsewhere...and would not permit this marriage to occur if she didn't want it to happen.

He says it's been going on for "months." It sounds like he started this courtship within weeks, if not days, of his wife dying.
