is a potential for it at any stage of your life.
I was not surprised that I was able to fall in love, and I wasn’t surprised that I did.”
That same year, Calista noted that the age gap didn’t bother her; she said, “It doesn’t
faze me.
Sometimes I even say, ‘Wow, I keep forgetting that he’s twenty-two years older than me.’
It doesn’t factor into our relationship at all.
I like the way he looks first thing in the morning.
