Ahmad Mohamad Isa, 110, who told Kosmo! that he was looking for a wife, had his wish come true when an 82-year-old woman responded to his wish.

Ahmad, who has 20 grandchildren and 40 great-grandchildren, told the Malay-language tabloid earlier this week that he wanted company and a wife to take care of him.

The report grabbed the attention of Sanah Ahmad, a widow of 30 years and mother of nine, who said she was willing to do so and had asked her children to contact Ahmad's family to make arrangements.

'It doesn't matter who she is, as long as she can cook for me,' Ahmad told the paper on Sunday, saying he was happy and surprised at the news while his daughter would discuss the matter with Sanah's family.

'It is lonely to live alone and I am afraid to sleep alone. If I have a wife she can take care of me,' the centenarian, who has five previous marriages and suffers mild hearing and vision problems, said in an earlier interview.

Four of his wives have died and he divorced the fifth. Sanah said she was attracted to Ahmad as he bears a striking resemblance to her late husband and both men shared the same name.
