"We are attracted to each other, we're intimate, but it's on a different level. It's a soulmate connection," he said.They have shown that love knows no boundaries and that their relationship is based on a deep spiritual bond rather than societal norms. Their story serves as an inspiration to many, proving that true love can overcome all obstacles.
