Throughout history, some of the most unlikely love stories have occurred behind enemy lines during times of war and unlawfully between inmates and staff members behind bars. But perhaps one of the most implausible love stories of them all is a romantic relationship between a mugger and his victim from Brazil that recently went viral.
According to the couple, their love affair began when Emanuela was strolling around the mugger's neighborhood before he noticed her and tried to forcibly procure her cell phone...and that's when the magic happened.
"I was walking down the street where he lives, and unfortunately, I was mugged,” Emanuela recalled during an interview before her boyfriend chimed in about the encounter.
“I was going through a difficult situation because I didn’t have a woman," he said.“When I saw her photo on the phone, I said to myself, ‘What a beautiful brunette, you don’t see a brunette like that every day,’ and I regretted stealing it.’”
The couple has been going strong for two years now.
