But it does happen. And not necessarily alone (though probably in this case they will). Mario Vargas Llosa, (Nobel Prize in Literature 2010), got divorced in 2015, almost at 80 yo. He finished his 50 years marriage for Isabel Preysler (Julio Iglesias ex wife).

When I read that, I remember a popular expression: Smallpox at old age!!!
