A video of a rapper by the name of Jose Lopez - with his big mane of afro hair and cheeky smile, just melted Louise's heart. 'There was just something about him that I immediately found very attractive. I loved his style, the way he looked, and his music. I was just drawn to him,' says Louise. Feeling bold, she left a comment: 'Hi, handsome!' 'I've never done that before,' says Louise, 39, a body positive influencer who lives in Gloucester with her son Jesse, 21. 'I love being on social media and being friendly with people, but I don't flirt! I really don't know what came over me. ' Jose, 29, shot her a message back saying, 'Hola baby,' and the pair started chatting. 'I was taken aback by his reply but didn't think anything of it because it's what you do on social networking.' And Jose was a very good social networker, having amassed over two million followers and music fans on Instagram. The popular rapper lived in Santa Marta, Colombia, and didn't speak a word of English. Louise didn't speak Spanish, but somehow, she says they muddled along. Then one night Jose asked if she wanted to speak via video call. 'I remember I was on the sofa in my nighties, ready for bed with no make-up on. But I agreed, and we just chatted as friends,' she says. The success of their first virtual meeting led to regular catch-ups. But within a few weeks, the catch-ups became virtual dinner dates every Saturday at 8pm. Louise fell deeply in love with Jose. 'Even though we'd never met and were not together physically, he was very affectionate. We would put our noses to the screen and pretend they were rubbing - like polar bears! For me, we had the most sweet romantic courtship - even though it was all onlin){kind=link}
