Virtual wife never met her virtual hubby in real life!

London, Nov 15 : David Pollard, the man whose married life came to an end following a virtual 'extra-marital' affair, has now virtually married the woman with whom he was caught cheating by his wife.

What's more, the two have never even once met in real life.

Pollard's wife Amy divorced him after she saw his virtual avatar romping with another woman in the game 'Second Life',

Jobless David and Twice-wed Linda Brinkley, 55, fell in love with each other's online avatars namely 'Dave Barmy' and 'Modesty McDonnell' respectively on the virtual reality game.

Now, Brinkley, has revealed that who has three grown-up kids and a lad of 15 in Arkansas, USA, said that she loves David despite of not meeting him even once.

"We've never met. It's my dream to finally meet him. I'm really nervous," The Sun quoted her as saying.

However, she slammed reports claiming that her own sexy cyber character Modesty McDonnell was a busty hooker, insisting that her alter ego was a nightspot hostess.

Linda, who has only ever seen David's picture but has spoken to him on the phone and via emails, said meeting 40-year-old David's imaginary "self" was "love at first sight" for her.

Now, the couple is engaged in real life, while their Second Life characters have already wed.

However, Linda has denied breaking up his marriage.

She said: "He's told me his relationship with his wife was over way before I came along. He's been very honest with me so I take his word for that.

"When he proposed to me online for real I was surprised but part of me knew it was coming. Of course I said yes. I'm in love with Dave."

And David, speaking of his virtual relationship that sparked his bust-up with his wife Amy, also a Second Lifer, said: "I don't think I was really doing anything wrong."
