Many celebrity couples have a large age gap. Ryan Reynolds & Blake Lively have 11 years
between ’em; Jay-Z & Beyoncé have 12 years; Megan Fox & Brian Austin Green have 13.
For whatever reason, when it comes to heterosexual Hollywood relationships, it seems to be rare
for the women to be older than the men. Especially in marriages. But, perhaps, things are changing.
After all, Priyanka Chopra fell in love with Nick Jonas, who’s 10 years her junior, and
plans on marrying him. Here are nine other beautiful stars who married
men a decade (or more) younger than themselves:
Julianne Moore was born at the end of 1960;
her husband, Bart Freundlich, was born at the beginning of 1970, making their age gap
over nine years. But, clearly, age is just a number, 'cause they've been together since
they met on the set of The Myth of Fingerprints (Bart directed it; Julianne starred in it)
all the way back in 1996! The two married in August 2003, after the births of their
two children, and are still going strong all these years later.
10.5 years separate Mariah Carey and Nick
Cannon, but that didn't stop them from getting married after dating for only two months.
(They were engaged for eight days before tying the knot.) Talk about a whirlwind romance.
Although they didn't last a lifetime (they separated in 2014 and divorced in 2016), we'll
always appreciate them for Roc and Roe.
Hugh Jackman isn't even 50 yet, yet his wife,
Deborra Lee-Furness, is already well into her 60s. But, considering that they've been
married since 1996, we take it that their nearly 13-year age gap means absolutely NOTHING
to them.
When Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher first got
together in 2003, their relationship was all anyone could talk about, considering their
15-year age difference; many often referred to the actress as a 'cougar'. Things only
escalated when they got married two years later, in September 2005.
Though their marriage came to a halt in November 2013, Ashton's current wife, Mila Kunis, insists
that the former couple has "a normal, real relationship," despite the years between 'em.
Elizabeth Taylor had been married eight times
to seven different men (she married, divorced, married AND divorced Richard Burton) during
her 79-year lifetime; only one of those guys was her junior.
From 1991-1996, Liz was married to Larry Fortensky... who was just one month and one week shy of
20 full years younger than the beautiful late star.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson was still a teenager
when he met future wife Sam Taylor-Johnson on the set of the movie Nowhere Boy. (Aaron
starred as a young John Lennon, while Sam directed the production). They announced their
engagement before he turned 20! But they waited a few years before they finally got hitched.
Today, he's 28 and she's 51 — yes, they have a 23-year age difference!
For nine months, Ivana Trump (ex-wife of Donald
Trump) was married to Italian actor Rossano Rubicondi. What went wrong, we can't be sure...
but we are sure that they had a 23-year age gap.
Andreas Kronthaler was a 25-year-old Austrian
design student when he met his mentor, designer Vivienne Westwood... who was twice his age
at the time. And their love (re: marriage) has lasted an additional 25 years (so far).
Actress Joan Collins and Percy Gibson have
been going strong for 18 years, 16 of those years as a married couple. That's why it's
so hard to believe that they have a whopping 32-year age gap between 'em! Joan was born
in 1933; Percy was born in 1965.
