John and Charlotte Henderson, who met in college indeed 1934, have been recognized by Guinness World Records for the longevity of their love
With a combined 211 years between them, Charlotte and John Henderson, from Austin, Texas, are celebrating their 80th wedding anniversary.
The two are officially the oldest living couple on Earth, according to Guinness World Records.
John Henderson is 106 and Charlotte Henderson is 105. They recently celebrated 80 years of wedded bliss!
The pair met in 1934 as students at the University of Texas, where Charlotte was studying to be a teacher and John played football. Since 2010, he has held the distinction of the oldest living former UT football player, and he attends a game every year.
John Henderson still remembers the first time noticed his future wife in a lecture hall.
"Charlotte looked over her shoulder and smiled and I knew I wanted to take her on a date," he told TODAY. "She was anxious for me to ask her!”
The Hendersons, who have no children, have lived at Longhorn Village, a retirement community in Austin, for the past decade
KXAN reported the retirement home helped throw an anniversary party for the couple.
“In our ages, we’ve slowed down somewhat,” John Henderson explained. “We used to go on cruises, but now we have to take it easy. We like watching sports and talking about what we’re going to do tomorrow.”
Nephew Jason Free said the two are his relationship role models.
“They don’t dwell on the past,” Free told TODAY. “You won’t hear them say, ‘Oh, if only it were 1952 again, everything would be great.’ They are still making plans for their future together.”
Fee noted that when he and his uncle are at a UT game or out running errands, Charlotte usually will call to check in.
“She likes to know when John is going to be coming back,” Free said.
As for the secret to their longevity, John Henderson chalks it up to exercise and having a positive attitude.
Then with a laugh, he added, “But some people think it’s because we never had kids!”
