A grandma who went viral for her crude remarks about what she and her 'toy boy' husband get up to in their spare time has announced their split.

We first heard about 83-year-old Iris Jones when she appeared on the British daytime talk show, This Morning, where she spilled the details of her relationship with Mohamed Ibriham, a 37-year-old from Egypt.

The pair had initially met on Facebook in 2019 and a year later, they decided to tie the knot in a small ceremony after having a long-distance relationship online.

During her appearance, she revealed that she and her husband had a wild night of intense passion during their first time together, stating that they used an "entire tube of KY jelly," which left Iris "saddle sore" also adding that her favorite sex position was "doggy fashion."

At the time, the pair celebrated their love despite having over a 40-year age gap.

There were also rumors circling about Mohamed's intentions for marrying the British senior citizen, with many contemplating whether it was just for financial support or a passport.

However, he swiftly put an end to those rumors, stating people could "go to hell" if they doubted his love for his now-former wife.

"The love does not know any difference between age or countries. Iris chose me and I chose Iris," he said on the show. "I want to say for all the people who attack our love, it's none of your business, focus on your lives, go to hell. That is all."

In a separate interview with MailOnline, he added: "I don't care where we live or how rich or poor she is, I just want to be with Iris. At the end of the day, which country she wants to make her home is her choice; it can be either Britain or Egypt.

"People think I am with her for all the wrong reasons," he continued. "I know Britain is a beautiful country and a lot of people want to go there but I'm not bothered. I'm prepared to live with her anywhere in the world."

However, just two years later and the pair have now called it quits.

Speaking to Closer, Iris spoke of her old lover, saying: "I adored everything about Mohammed. But it became hard work. We used to have a great sex life but then, rather than making love, we ended up arguing all the time about anything and everything.

"I can’t be doing with that. I’m not a lovesick teenager. I’m 83," she added.

Instead Iris has a new love now - her cat.

"I got him just a few days after Mohammed moved out and he’s the perfect companion. He never complains, is very quiet and beautiful to look at – I adore him," she told the outlet. "And he’s very happy here and doesn’t create a mess, I’m not missing Mohammed at all, the thing that annoyed me the most when he left was he took my tempura battered prawns that I’d planned for my dinner that night."

Oh no he didn't!

We're glad Iris is happy despite the unfortunate news, but hey, at least she has her little cat now.
