A farmer, who lives off-grid in rural Kentucky and found fame after his stripped back lifestyle was exposed in a YouTube video, has revealed that he has finally found love.
Titus Morris has been living in a remote part of the Appalachian Mountains for eight years with no electricity, mains water, cell phone, car and even no shoes in the summer.
In a YouTube video, which was broadcast by documentary maker Peter Santenello two months ago, Titus said while he was content, the only thing missing in his life was a partner to share it with, but now it appears his fortune has changed.
In a follow-up interview, the countryman tells viewers that ‘the Lord brought a woman into my life,’ and his new love is currently staying with his parents.

Filmmaker Santenello told DailyMail.com that Titus’s girlfriend currently did not want to be filmed, but he confirmed that ‘she’s attractive and seems into the lifestyle.’
In Santenello’s first YouTube video, Titus left viewers his telephone number in a bid to find a love interest.
Fully embracing the simple life, the farmer does not own a cell phone and instead, he uses a landline which is located in a small shed and shared with a neighbor.
In a follow-up interview, Titus reveals that his phone was ringing off the hook after he revealed his desires and he couldn’t cope with the volume of calls.
‘There was like a call coming in every one or two minutes. My mailbox can hold like 12 or 13 messages and then it fills up,’ he said.
‘So I could go through and write the number and the name and delete them and by the time I had gone through those 12, I would have eight or 10 new ones.
‘There was just no way I could keep up with it, so probably a vast percentage of people who have called couldn’t leave a message.’
Along with phone calls, Titus has been flooded with fan mail, with letters pouring in from around the world including ‘from Ireland, from India, [and] Germany.’
It is not clear how Titus’ new girlfriend connected with him, but he already seems smitten and when Santenello quizzes him about her, a big grin forms on his face.
In one scene, he explains why she won’t be featuring in the film, stating: ‘She’s a little shy about being on camera, you won’t see her on camera right now.
‘That may change over time but I’m super excited just seeing where God will lead me.’
Titus didn’t elaborate on what the plan was and if his girlfriend would move in with him following a stint at his parents’.

In terms of his home base, Titus lives on a 50-acre plot, with about 20 acres of this being open pasture and the other 30 acres being woodland
One of Titus’ favorite ways of keeping fit involves climbing among the trees
There is also a barn in the property where Titus keeps the horse for his horse-drawn buggy and during the summer months, he sleeps amid the hay in the loft as it is cooler
In terms of his home base, Titus lives in a small abode on a 50-acre plot, which he bought for $60,000 with some savings and some financial aid from his parents.
His open-plan home consists of a kitchen, a dining space and an area to sleep.
While there are light fixtures and appliances such a fridge, none of them work as Titus disconnected the electricity when he moved in.
Instead of an indoor bathroom, there is a small outhouse as a toilet, and Titus has formed a dam in the creek, so a deeper pool of water serves as a bath.
This is fine during the summer months, but during the winter it can get a little chilly.
When it gets cooler, Titus also starts wearing shoes again as he says it’s ‘not healthy’ to go barefoot in the cold.

His outdoor space consists of about 20 acres of open pasture and 30 acres of woodland.
During the summer, he likes to cook on a wood burning stove on his front porch as it gets too hot inside.
In line with his religious beliefs, Titus does not eat any meat and he never had any dairy or egg products growing up.
He says his plant-based diet has not impacted his athleticism, and he has ample strength to climb trees and scale a rope into the loft of his barn.
Titus also says he is generally in good health and this year he hasn’t been sick at all, ‘not even a stuffy nose.’
While he is happy with his home setup, Titus says a functioning refrigerator would be ‘handy,’ as currently he has to keep goods cool in the creek.
The outdoorsman gives viewers a quick tour of his small home. He explains that it is a little messy as he has had a friend staying with him

He explains: ‘I can put stuff in the creek and it will keep overnight. Like, if I have beans leftover or something I can put them in a pot in the creek and they’ll stay good overnight.’
Financially, Titus says his low-key living means his expenses are minimal.
His outgoings include $90 a month for the landline telephone, about $20 a month on food for his dogs, Sadie and Spartacus, and another $30 on produce he can’t grow, such as bananas and Himalayan salt.
He also pays $250 a year in taxes.
After being brought up in a ‘very religious’ family, Titus continued living as simply as possible.
While his parents have a computer and electricity, he decided to take things back to basics even further.
He says he lives in a similar way to the Amish community, but he does not follow their religion and practices pure Christianity instead.
Adding to the mystery, he has no official form of ID.

Adding to the mystery, he has no official form of ID. His parents got him a social security number for him as a child but he never signed it and later decided to revoke it

Then, his birth certificate washed away in a flood and he has never had a driver’s license.
He told viewers in the first YouTube documentary: ‘I don’t exist in the eyes of the government but I do exist in the lives of people that know me and my Father in heaven.’
After finding love, Titus’s next ambition is to build a church, so people can come and visit him on his farmstead and connect with God.
Santenello’s second YouTube video includes a link to a GoFundMe page titled ‘Titus’s Church.’
So far, more than $137,000 has been raised of $125,000 goal.
One fan from the UK wrote on the fundraising page after donating $9: ‘Titus is an amazing guy.
‘He brings so much positivity and faith to so many, and this donation will help him along his, and is followers journey.’
Another supporter from the Netherlands who donated $10, added: ‘You are living the dream and inspiring others, would love to visit the church when it’s done. Keep up the good work!’
