Internet swoons over woman's ‘rom-com' story where she traveled 6,000 miles for a second date
A vacation fling turned romance novel.
Meeting someone in the wild that you have a romantic connection with is so challenging these days that one infatuated woman traveled 6,000 miles to see a guy for a second date, according to Jam Press.
A woman named Grace Kelly was hanging out at a hotel bar in Taiwan, where she was on vacation, when she met a potential suitor, who owned a restaurant in the East Asia country, with whom she hit it off.

'That first night, we were enjoying each other's company so much that we decided to stay up all night and make the most of the few hours we had,' Kelly told What's The Jam.
'We were literally talking about our ideal futures and living on a farm in Scotland with dogs and chickens, and goats within hours of meeting.'

The duo's night sounded like one right out of a rom-com movie: 'The hotel bar was closing, so he suggested we go to his restaurant at midnight to make pasta from scratch…'
Any vacation fling is fun — especially when you think you'll never see the person again.
3 The 34-year-old traveled far to see this lucky guy for a second time.

But in this case, when Kelly eventually flew back home — and he stayed in Taiwan for work — she and he kept in touch and 'spoke constantly for three weeks on different time zones'

The couple couldn't stand to be a part much longer, so Kelly booked herself a flight back to Taiwan and traveled the 6,000-mile trek to see the special lad again.
'I was so nervous going out there, but I'd arranged my own hotel just in case things didn't go to plan,' she told the outlet.
'But as soon as I arrived there, he'd arranged for flowers to be waiting in my hotel room, and he swooped me up as soon as the hotel elevator doors opened.'
After their time together in Taiwan, the lucky guy visited Kelly in the UK — and the two eventually met each other's families.

'We both rarely meet anyone who we click with this much and whose lifestyle matches each other so well,' she said.
'He's so refreshing, insanely skilled and definitely the most intelligent man I've ever met, but also really funny and down to earth.'
Kelly shared her love story on social media — and the internet couldn't get enough of it.
'This looks like it was taken right out of a romcom – love love love it,' one commenter wrote.
'I LOVE this,' another comment read.
'Ahhhh, how exciting!' wrote someone else.

The most touching part of this story is that although these long-lost lovers met in a completely different country, it turned out that they both grew up in the UK, living only an hour apart from each other.

Machine Gun Kelly Explains the Meaning of the Unique Name He and Megan Fox Gave Their Baby
THE RUNDOWN On Friday, Machine Gun Kelly made an appearance on Today, where he opened up about raising his daughter with Megan Fox. The musical artist recently shared the baby's name, Saga Blade, and he explained the meaning behind the words for himself and Fox. In his explanation, MGK seemed to refer to Fox's experiencing pregnancy loss, which she was quite open about before and after revealing she was expecting. 'Her journey, the five years of her culmination of coming, disappearing, coming back again, disappearing, coming back again, she's an epic story and that's what Saga means,' said Kelly. 'I'm also of Norwegian heritage and so that's a Nordic goddess of storytelling and I think she has a storytelling future ahead of her. Megan's a great mom and just killing it and I'm so excited.' In a video posted earlier this week, Kelly can be seen rocking Saga's baby chair while serenading her. The infant can't be seen on camera. In the caption, he wrote, 'Saga Blade Fox-Baker ❤️🔥 thank you for the ultimate gift @meganfox.' Fox's poetry book, Pretty Boys Are Poisonous, touched on her miscarriages. In 2023, Fox shared in an interview with WWD that she had an ectopic pregnancy while in a relationship with Kelly, saying, 'I've had other things that I'm not going to say because God forbid the world will be in an uproar. But I've been through other similar issues, but not with someone who I was so in love with.' Fox has three other children with ex-husband Brian Austin Green, Noah, Bodhi, and Journey. MGK shares his teen daughter, Casie, with his former partner, Emma Cannon. Fox and Kelly dated for five years and were engaged before splitting late last year, shortly after announcing they were expecting.

R. Kelly claims prison officials plotted to kill him. Judge denies his release
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. -- A judge has denied singer R. Kelly 's request to be freed from prison, saying she lacks jurisdiction to consider the convicted sex offender's allegations that federal prison officials plotted to murder him. U.S. District Judge Martha M. Pacold canceled Friday's scheduled arguments in Chicago, and instead issued a five-page ruling denying his emergency request to serve his time on home detention during a temporary furlough. Born Robert Sylvester Kelly, the 58-year-old Grammy-winning R&B singer is serving sentences at a prison in Butner, North Carolina, for child sex crimes and racketeering. Pacold noted that federal courts have only limited power in such cases, and one by one she examined and rejected various ways Kelly's request could be considered. 'Jurisdictional limitations must be respected even where, as here, a litigant claims that the circumstances are extraordinary,' Pacold wrote. "Kelly has not identified (nor is the court aware of) any statute or rule that authorizes the court to exercise jurisdiction. Thus, the court cannot award relief in this case.' Kelly claimed in a series of filings this month that prison officials solicited white supremacist leaders to kill him, to halt the disclosure of information damaging to prison officials. Kelly's attorney says he was then moved to solitary confinement and purposely given an overdose of medication, which required hospitalization and surgery for blood clots. Pacold noted that Kelly offers no evidence to back up his claims. Government lawyers suggested Kelly had spun a 'fanciful conspiracy.' Known for such hits as 'I Believe I Can Fly,' Kelly was found guilty in Chicago in 2022 of three charges of producing child sexual abuse images and three charges of enticement of minors for sex. In New York in 2021, he was found guilty of racketeering and sex trafficking. He is serving most of his 20-year Chicago sentence and 30-year New York sentence simultaneously. His appeals have been unsuccessful, including to the U.S. Supreme Court. Kelly has also sought President Donald Trump's help.
