From the moment Vanelle Fenmou first came across our screens in Netflix’s ‘Age of Attraction,’ she made it clear that she hoped to find her one true love from the experience. Her father didn’t want her to end up with someone over a decade older than her, but while she respected his opinion, she knew in her heart she didn’t have such a hard limit because it was her life at the end of the day. This became even more evident when she pursued a connection with Jorge Sanchez, despite it being rather evident that he is indeed quite older than her.
Vanelle Fenmou and Jorge Sanchez Had Too Many Differences to Overcome
Although Vanelle Fenmou initially connected with Healthcare Director Justin Silberman, she realized as time passed that she was developing deeper feelings for her second bond, Jorge Sanchez. Thus, determined to be fair and not hurt anyone in the long run, she called things off with the former as soon as she realized she wanted to pursue a real thing with the latter more. What followed was her making her way to the Promise Room with Jorge, where she opened up about an important matter before they could move forward: her vow of celibacy. It surprised him, but he indicated nothing would change his mind about her, which drove them to reveal their ages. That’s when she found herself expressing a similar sentiment owing to their 33-year age gap – she was 27, whereas he was 60.
However, problems started arising for Vanelle and Jorge almost as soon as they returned to the real world, because he didn’t mention he had 2 kids, even though they had discussed the topic of children. She candidly asserted she didn’t mind his having kids, but she felt a little blindsided, or as if he hadn’t trusted her enough to share such a significant aspect of his life. Yet, what truly affected their connection was his admission that he wasn’t on board with the celibacy, especially since she was okay with engaging in some sexual activities, just not all. Their breaking point came shortly after, when they had a disagreement over his handling of a rather terrifying situation regarding their being approached on the street by a strange man. They simply could not see eye to eye or communicate, driving them to call it quits.
Vanelle Fenmou and Jorge Sanchez Have Parted Ways
Vanelle and Jorge’s relationship initially seemed one of the most authentic, loving, and sincere, especially as they had bonded over their devout faith as well as devotion to family. However, they could not really figure out a way to properly communicate in the real world, which broke everything down. They even admitted that their differences had nothing to do with age. In fact, Vanelle indicated that she hadn’t ever really cared about their 33-year age difference; what bothered her was that it always felt like he was talking “at her” rather than “with her” or “to her” during arguments.
Jorge expressed similar sentiments about their issues, after which both he and Vanelle separately asserted that what they shared was definitely real, despite being short-lived. Nevertheless, from what we can tell, they also realized that their differences were too significant and personal, so it doesn’t appear as if they even tried to rekindle their romance in any capacity. It does seem like they have managed to build a rather cordial association, considering they are now mutuals on social media and are likely in contact, but it seemingly remains the extent of their involvement.
