Rocco And Estelle Dilizio Set To Remarry Almost 40 Years After Their Divorce

Divorced Couple Remarries After Almost 40 Years Apart

More than 38 years after their divorce, Australian couple Rocco and Estelle Dilizio are set to tie the knot again later this year.

"It worked out in the end -- I was the first choice and the best choice," Estelle told The Courier-Mail in a story published Monday.

Rocco and Estelle, now 73- and 72-years-old, respectively, eloped when they were teenagers back in 1958. They split up in 1974 after 16 years of marriage and four children together.

According to The Courier-Mail, both went on to marry other people after the split. Then, in 2010, the ex-couple reunited at a Melbourne Cup function where they rekindled their romance. Click over to The Courier-Mail for more on their love story.

It's not the first time a long-divorced couple has kissed and made up many years later. In August 2012, Lena Henderson and Roland Davis -- both 85 years old at the time -- remarried 48 years after their 1966 divorce. And in 2005, Amerah Henrene Shabazz-Bridges and B.C. Bridges of Memphis, Tenn. remarried after 31 years apart.
