MYLONDON – Nicki Wake’s husband, Andy, suffered two heart attacks within 3 days in 2017 and required round-the-clock care for the next 3 years before dying in 2020 during the COVID pandemic. His death led to a 3-year period of severe grief. During recovery, she connected with widows’ support networks where the idea of a “second chapter” relationship emerged. After finding that traditional dating apps did not meet her needs, she created two platforms: Chapter2dating for long-term relationships and WidowsFire for casual intimacy. The platforms now have ~25K users across 4 countries (UK, US, Canada, and Australia) and have resulted in multiple relationships, including marriages and children. Nicki herself met her current partner through the platform, and they have been together for 10 months.
