Dave Green, now 60, met Andrea Urmston, 53, at the airport in 2005. Green worked as a bus station supervisor, while Urmston restocked vending machines. Their friendship began after he offered her a convenient parking space at the facility.
Over the next two years, the pair grew closer and discovered a shared love of motorbikes, according to People. They occasionally joked that they looked and behaved like siblings.
“We’re like brother and sister, me and you, aren’t we?” Urmston once said, Green recalled in an interview with BBC Breakfast.

Their joke took an unexpected turn in 2007 when Green told Urmston during a phone conversation that he had been adopted as a child. She replied that her family had an older son named Stuart who had been given up for adoption as a baby.
Green then revealed that his birth name was Stuart Proudlove, according to The Sun.
Urmston immediately contacted her mother, Susan, to check the details of her missing brother. Green’s date of birth, March 24, 1966, and the hospital where he was born matched the family’s information exactly.
Susan had given birth to him when she was 15 and was forced to place him for adoption because she could not afford to raise him. She later sought help from several organizations in an effort to find him, but none of the searches succeeded.
Once the connection was confirmed, Urmston drove Green to meet their mother. On the journey, he recognized the area and realized that he had spent years driving a bus past his biological mother’s home and his sister’s former school without knowing who lived there.
Their reunion in 2007 was filled with tears. Green recalled his mother embracing him and looking over his shoulder at Urmston.
“You kept your promise,” she said, referring to a pledge Urmston had made when she was six years old to find her missing brother.
Green and Urmston now live together in Kidsgrove, Staffordshire. Their mother died several years ago.
BBC Breakfast featured their story in late July, prompting widespread attention on social media.
