Woman fell in love with her delivery driver after just hearing his voice
When Tanatsa Lucas was waiting for some cutlery she'd ordered to be delivered, she had no idea she'd fall in love.
The plucky 30-year-old was so struck by her delivery driver's voice, she decided to ask him on a date. Tanatsa, from Darwin, Australia, was at her apartment in 2020 when Corey Lucas buzzed to say he was outside and had left her parcel by the door.
Tanatsa was so enamoured with her first impression of the 28-year-old, she made the bold move of texting him, asking him whether he was single. The two met up for a date later that evening, quickly hitting it off.
And just three months later in June of that year, Tanatsa fell pregnant with the couple's little boy Archie, now aged two, born in 2021. Tanatsa, a case manager for Australia’s national disability insurance scheme, said: “I was doing my nails at the time, and my delivery driver called.

And how it's going (Tanatsa and Corey Lucas / SWNS)“He was speaking really nicely on the phone and was very respectful. I asked him if he would mind dropping the package outside my apartment, as I was going to be going out soon. Something inside me was telling me to shoot my shot and ask him out. I did and I'm so pleased."

Corey - who now works as a truck driver - from Melbourne, Australia, said: "I'm so glad it's all worked out, we're very happily married now and going better than ever, our love is growing stronger every day." After their phone call, Tanatsa - who is originally from Zimbabwe - said she felt a sudden urge to ask Corey on a date.
She said: “I was newly single, I don’t know what happened, but something just came over me and I just though I may as well ask – you never know. I could tell even being on the phone with him for less than a minute that there was just something different about him.”

The couple hit it off immediately (Tanatsa and Corey Lucas / SWNS)Tanatsa then decided to message Corey only one hour after he had dropped off her package, simply saying: “You single by any chance? Haha.” The two met for a beer at a bar just opposite Tanatsa’s apartment that evening.
“It went really well, he was saying all the right things, he came back to my apartment, but nothing happened,” Tanatsa said. With the couple's romance blossoming, it wasn't long before they discovered their baby news - which Tanatsa admits came out of the blue. “That was not at all planned, I thought ‘Oh s***’," she said.
Tanatsa was worried how Corey would react and was gobsmacked when he proposed after finding out they were expecting. “It was only six months after our first meet up, so I was blown away, but I said yes,” she said.
The couple are proof that romance can happen when you least expect it (Tanatsa and Corey Lucas / SWNS)The couple tied the knot on December 19, 2020, at the Hilton hotel in Darwin, Northern Territory. “We just totally clicked from our first meeting," Tanatsa said. “The way we got married was very quick, lots of people told me not to do it, but I wouldn’t have changed how it all happened for the world. I met his dad only a week after we first met, he cooked dinner for me and Corey, it was so nice. His family was very welcoming to me."
Tanatsa called her mum and sister - who live in Manchester - to tell them about the surprise pregnancy. She said: “I had to ring them and let them know what had happened. They were surprised, but very happy for me.” The couple now live in Brisbane, Australia, and went on to have another child - Theodore, born in August 2023, and are still head-over-heels. Tanatsa said: “We grew to love each other even more after our second baby.
“We still had our challenges, I had post-natal depression after our first baby, but we developed an understanding and are doing great. The only difference is before we had kids it was all about us, we now have to balance it out. We are really hands on with the kids together, it’s really nice. I still can’t believe it happened - he saved my life all over again.”
