Newman also revealed how Maryanne had come home with the biggest of smiles on her face when she met Tommy for the very first time.

She added that the couple continued to date for 18 months until Tommy finally approached Maryanne’s mother to ask if he could propose.

Their mother agreed but insisted that Tommy should do it ‘properly,’ so she even took him to a jewelry shop to buy a proper ring. Earlier, Tommy had a toy ring from a vending machine.

'She received a lot of flak at the time for letting them get married but she insisted it was their decision,’ Newman told the Daily Mail.

The couple live independently and are happy to be together through thick and thin. They have their family next door to help out whenever needed.
