In a tale that's melting hearts across the internet, a cross-continental love story has taken flight, quite literally. Jaclyn Forero, a US-based photographer, left behind her life in America to be with Chandan, a man from a remote village in Andhra Pradesh, after the two fell in love through Instagram.
What began as casual online messages blossomed into a full-fledged virtual romance spanning 14 months. Their story, documented in a moving Instagram video montage, shows their evolution from strangers behind screens to a deeply bonded couple. "14 months together and ready for a BIG new chapter," Jaclyn wrote in the caption, alongside glimpses of their heartfelt first meeting in person.
In the video’s comments, Jaclyn openly shared that she is nine years older than Chandan, an age difference that hasn’t dimmed their connection. The montage, rich with scenes of video calls, smiles, and cultural moments, has struck a chord with viewers.
Social media erupted with love and support. One user, recalling a similar experience, commented, “Seven months later, I was flying to India to marry him! It’s a crazy journey but so worth it.” Others praised the couple’s chemistry and sincerity. “Too cute,” wrote one commenter. Another added, “You found your soulmate! He has kind eyes.”
Beyond Instagram, the couple shares their journey on YouTube, chronicling their lives as they navigate love across boundaries of faith, culture, age, and geography. The channel bio tells their story simply and powerfully: "A divorced Christian mother struggling to find love centered on faith meets a younger man... the story of Jackie and Chandan shows that a man with nothing by the world's standards has everything to offer."
In an age of swipes and fleeting connections, Jaclyn and Chandan’s love story is a reminder that sometimes, all it takes is a message, and a lot of heart—to change your world.
