Britain’s most married man called off engagement to wife number nine — who he hasn’t met and is 41 years younger
BRITAIN’S most married man has called off his engagement to planned wife number nine — an American 41 years his junior who he’s never met.
Ron Sheppard, 71, proposed to Rose Hans, 30, last month after a year-long online romance.
But the retired entertainments manager has now revealed that he’s pulled the plug.
Ron, of Somerton, Somerset, said: “We were supposed to meet on Friday. It didn’t feel like the right thing for me to do — especially when you don’t really love someone.
“She was doing all the pushing. It didn’t feel right in my heart. My love was always in a different place.”
Ron first wed in 1966.
His longest marriage lasted 13 years and the shortest just ten months.
