When Dino contacted 27-year-old Joyceline, he was seeking her tailoring services as she ran a crocheting business.
According to the 56-year-old, he was in open relationships and wanted the tailor to make dresses for three of his five girlfriends.
Chemistry at first sight
Speaking to Love Don't Judge on YouTube, Dino disclosed that he "knew the chemistry was there" when he first met Joyceline.

The would-be business encounter turned into a romantic relationship that soon culminated in a marriage.
Having been a single dad for almost 20 years, Dino found it complicated to have a relationship while juggling parenting and medical school.
That changed when he set his eyes on his then-wife-to-be and beauty queen, prompting him to drop all the other women and focus on her.
Joyceline relocated to the US
After speaking for a while, he proposed that Joyceline move to the US to expand her business, an idea she gladly agreed to.
The pair soon got married and started life in Puerto Rico before moving to the Caribbean where they are planning to buy a boat.
They recalled how family members took their marriage, especially Dino's daughters Antonette and ZaZa.
Antonette confessed that her first thought about her father marrying Joyceline was that he looked too young for him.
Struggle with blending into Dino's family
She has since embraced her as dad's wife after they "had a pretty good conversation" during their first meeting.
"I thought she would fit in with our family because she's interesting and she's smart," she asserted.
However, the one thing the duo has struggled to overcome throughout their marriage is the 29-year age gap.
They admitted that they are often judged online as people accuse Joyceline of being a sugar baby or him being a sugar daddy.
Couple doesn't pay attention to naysayers
They, however, maintain that "opinions don't matter" to them and never will as they satisfy each other and constantly put effort into the relationship.
"I have got a caring husband that has deep pockets - I got it all," Joyceline said with pride.
Joyceline says that she doesn't pay attention to any doubts from society about them as it is not their problem.
The smitten man reiterated that dating a woman younger than his daughter has made him "happier than ever."
"Some people say, ''Oh, she's just there for the money' or 'She's going to want a young man to satisfy her,' and my response is,' How do you know she isn't already satisfied? How do you know that she doesn't have everything she wants?" Dino concluded.
Lady finds joy in tailoring
Legit.ng earlier reported that a Nigerian lady posted a TikTok video that captured her sewing a garment as a seamstress.
The clip revealed that she had acquired her tailoring skills during the ASUU strike, following her mother’s advice.
She exuded enthusiasm and pride in her craftsmanship, proudly displaying the array of apparel she had fashioned.
