Remember the internet sensation, Irvin Randle? Maybe you know him by his hashtag ” Mr. Steal Your Grandma”. Randle went viral as women all over the world sent crazy over his stylish looks as he seemed to rock a beard like no other.
Women wanted to know more about the mystery man in skinny jeans. We soon learned that the well-dressed, impeccably groomed gentleman was a Houston educator with a clear interest in style and fashion.
Many people suspected that he was gay as he seemed to don clothes that were feminine. However, Randle assured America that he was not gay but simply a man that cared about his appearance.
Well, a man named Ahmad Booth is singing a different tune as he took to Instagram to share a “tbt” photo of him with Randle claiming that they dated.

Is it possible that the photos were photoshopped? This wouldn’t be the first time that someone edited photos putting themselves in a photo with Randle.

How Did All Of This Happen?
One day, Irvin Randle was just a Houston, Texas, elementary school teacher. Then, he became something more. He became #MrStealYourGrandma.
Randle, a native Houstonian, had taken a picture of himself with a selfie stick, which, through the magic of the Internet, took on a life of its own; the older man’s good looks and suave fashion sense made his Instagram exactly the kind of viral sensation the internet sprouts every week.
“I’ve always had this type of ability for fashion and when I was younger, I’d look in the GQ magazine and say, ‘I want to dress like that.”
And it turns out that the 54-year-old was prepared for his unexpected celebrity, just by coincidence.
“Now we are in 2016, I start buying things a little tighter for me, you know, I said, ‘Why not? I’m a papa, I work out, let me show the grandmas what they want to work with,'” he told Houston’s KHOU.
