This is nothing new, although the phenomenon is probably more common now.
In my case, I met my husband online in 2002, on IRC. We were separated by a continent, and never met in person until 2009. We finally got married in 2013 and have been together ever since. I have online friends with similar experiences, usually where they never meet. But sometimes it works out.
