Photos Show Elderly Married Couple Celebrating 76 Years Together?

There were indications that someone used an artificial intelligence (AI) program to construct these phony images. For instance, the woman’s right hand in the image on the left only had four fingers. Moreover, users reposting the phony images were the only results of reverse-image searches for additional information. A separate account of a real couple with similar ages and years of marriage was also included in our investigation. They did not, however, resemble the individuals in the AI-generated images.

A series of images that have been making the rounds on the internet allegedly depict a young couple at their wedding and then the same couple 76 years later.

For instance, X user @lippyent posted (archived) the image on September 5, 2024, captioning it, “76 years together.” He is 97 years old and she is 94. Anything that is genuine lasts a lifetime. Almost two million people viewed that post.

Greta Van Susteren, host of Newsmax TV, reposted (archived) the post from @lippyent with the words, “And still beautiful ….love this post.”

 

Other Facebook users, meanwhile, shared the same tale or a slightly different caption that read, “76 years of marriage.” He is 97 years old, and she is 94. Anything that is genuine endures forever. Thousands of people liked and shared some of those posts.

But neither image was authentic. Initially, searches using reverse images for both images only turned up reposts of the same story without the original news item or other supporting information. Additionally, both pictures showed indications that at least one artificial intelligence (AI) tool was used by someone to make them. If we learn more about the individual or people who took the photos, we’ll update this report.
