Love Found: Woman Falls for Her Sperm Donor
4 Jun
Summary
- Woman falls in love with anonymous sperm donor after his child's birth.
- Donor and mother met years later via DNA testing, leading to romance.
- Couple now planning to marry and raise their children together.
Jessica Share, now 50, shares a unique journey with her partner Aaron Long, who is 60. Their relationship began unconventionally when Long, in 1994, anonymously donated sperm for $40 per visit to a sperm bank. Share purchased two vials in September 2004, conceiving their daughter Alice.
Years later, in 2016, Alice used a 23andMe DNA test and discovered Long as a biological relative. Share then tracked Long down, leading to their first meeting in July 2017. Unexpectedly, Share and Long fell in love, and have been together for about a decade. They are now preparing to tie the knot, with Alice set to officiate their wedding.
Long has learned his donation resulted in 23 children, with whom he maintains contact. Despite their unusual start, Share emphasizes their strong connection, stating, "We work really well together." Their story was recently featured in a documentary titled 'Dad Genes'.
