Sean Bean found his ladylove through text messaging

Washington, Jan 28 : English film and stage actor Sean Bean met his long time love after he sent a text message to the wrong person.

The 'Lord Of The Rings' star was trying to get in touch with his assistant when his finger slipped on his mobile phone and the message was sent instead to Georgina Sutcliffe.

"I'd come back from filming in Toronto and was trying to contact my assistant Chris but sent the message to Georgina instead," Contactmusic quoted him as saying.

"I got a message back and thought, 'Why's that bird (girl) texting me?' It all took off from there," he said.

News is that 48-year-old Sean will make Sutcliffe, 29, his fourth wife later this year (08).
