00:00How's it going? Is everything still rosy in the garden?
00:05We're wonderful.
00:07Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the most famous people who think of their years as nothing but numbers in love.
00:14Our ranking is based on several factors, such as the couple's popularity and their actual age gap, but we're not including celebs who have passed away.
00:22Don't worry, kid. You'll get back, all right.
00:30Number 50, Cher and Alexander Edwards, 40 years.
00:34The goddess of pop has never been one to conform to society's norms.
00:38Her love life is no exception.
00:40The believed songstress is in love with a man 40 years her junior.
00:44He's fabulous, and I don't give men qualities that they don't deserve, you know, but he's very kind, he's very smart, he's very talented, and he's really funny.
00:58So, and I think he's quite handsome.
01:01This man, Alexander A.E. Edwards, is a music executive at Def Jam Records.
01:07The pair reportedly started dating in 2022 and were rumored to have separated the following year.
01:13However, Cher confirmed in November 2025 that they're still going strong.
01:18She's even close to Edwards' young son Slash, whom he shares with his ex, Amber Rose.
01:23On the creative front, Cher once revealed that she has plans of making music with her man.
01:27I picked mine, and I picked that.
01:31That's true, that's true.
01:33And that!
01:34He stole that.
01:36He stole?
01:36Yeah.
01:37Yeah, this was hers first, but I was like, I need that.
01:39Number 49, Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun, 16 years.
01:43This romance seems to be in its nascent stage, but that hasn't stopped the internet from judging it.
01:48The only people who would do something this lame are the ones who know how lame it is, but are in the first stages of liking each other, so they're totally comfortable in their mutual lameness.
01:59Trust me.
02:00Oh my god.
02:02Come on!
02:02This is so cringe.
02:03So is saying cringe, old man.
02:05Euphoria actress Sydney Sweeney is 16 years younger than record executive and father-of-three Scooter Braun.
02:11The two were first linked in September 2025 and were spotted kissing in New York City's Central Park in November.
02:18Her ex-fiancé, businessman Jonathan Devino, whom she split from in early 2025, was 14 years older than her.
02:25Meanwhile, Braun divorced his ex-wife, activist Yale Cohen, in 2022.
02:30A source told People Magazine that Sweeney and Braun are seeing each other casually, but their friends are seemingly happy about their budding relationship.
02:39I'm surrounded by the most incredibly talented and inspiring women in this room, and I think that it just motivates me to want to keep doing more and keep doing better.
02:51Number 48, Simon Cowell and Lauren Silverman, 17 years.
02:55The notoriously hard-to-impress X-Factor judge's love life is a bit complicated.
03:01He found love with socialite Lauren Silverman, who is almost 18 years younger than him.
03:06However, their tryst supposedly began while she was still married to his friend Andrew Silverman.
03:11Simon has been friends with her husband for several years.
03:14Then she ended up coming much closer to Simon as her marriage deteriorated.
03:20In 2013, Andrew reportedly filed for divorce, claiming Lauren had cheated on him, and it was soon revealed that she was pregnant with Simon's child.
03:30The baby, named Eric, was born the following year.
03:33Clearly, their age gap wasn't the most scandalous thing about their relationship.
03:37Cowell and Silverman are now happily engaged.
03:40This wasn't something that I was expecting.
03:44But, you know, it's all been good.
03:47Number 47, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi.
03:50This couple is so beloved that people hardly think about their age difference.
03:56Ellen was born in 1958, and her wife Portia was born 15 years later.
04:01They've been together since 2004 and got married in 2008.
04:05While they rarely speak about the years between them,
04:08Portia once told queer news website The Advocate that they have a, quote,
04:11very respectful, very loving, peaceful relationship.
04:14Even if we have a little bit of an issue, like, at some point, Ellen just looks at me and, like, makes a funny face at me.
04:23And so it just breaks the tension, and then we just start to really kind of unpack it.
04:27In a 2005 interview with People magazine, the former talk show host admitted that though she forgets about her age,
04:33she worries about how it might affect their family planning.
04:37In 2009, they revealed their decision to remain child-free.
04:41Ellen and Portia have faced divorce rumors, but the couple is still together, living their dream life in rural England.
04:47Yeah, so she's my first wife.
04:51And only.
04:52Well, so far.
04:53So far.
04:53Yeah.
04:54Yeah.
04:54Yeah.
04:55You're running out of time, really.
04:56All right, I'll stay with you.
04:57Stay with me.
04:58All right.
04:58It's easier that way.
04:59Number 46.
05:00Jake Gyllenhaal and Jeanne Cazieux.
05:0215 years.
05:04The Donnie Darko star has a history of romancing women much younger than him.
05:08Taylor Swift was 20 when she dated 29-year-old Jake.
05:11Another of his exes, model Alyssa Miller, was eight years younger than him.
05:15However, he has an even bigger age gap with his current girlfriend, Jeanne Cazieux.
05:20At school, people ask me what kind of designers I've been meeting with and what kind of style, like street style.
05:32They always ask me where I bought my clothes, so it's quite funny and I like it.
05:39The French model is 15 years younger than Gyllenhaal, but according to an Us Weekly insider,
05:44she's, quote, very mature for her age.
05:47The couple has been dating since 2018.
05:50While the Oscar-nominated actor has marriage and kids in mind for the future,
05:54he still hasn't popped the question to Jeanne.
05:56You don't bring just anybody anywhere.
05:58You're one of those guys, you keep the relationships on the down low.
06:02You're out there, man.
06:03I mean, now I see.
06:04You're in love.
06:05I love her so much and she's just such a good person.
06:08Number 45, Nicolas Cage and Riko Shibata, 31 years.
06:13You know what they say, if at first you don't succeed, try, try again.
06:17Even if there's a good three decades between you and your beloved.
06:20That's right, Nicolas Cage seems to be just as eclectic off-screen as he is on it,
06:25with him marrying wife number five, Riko Shibata, in 2021.
06:29You know, we had built this beautiful momentum and I didn't want it to stop.
06:33So I said, let's take it to the next level.
06:35I'm gonna, I love you, please marry me.
06:37And she said, yes.
06:38So that's what happened.
06:39I love that.
06:39On FaceTime.
06:40At the very least, the couple doesn't seem to be letting the age gap adjust their life plans,
06:45with the two welcoming a child a year later in 2022.
06:49However, that still doesn't change the fact that Shibata is still younger than Cage's oldest kid.
06:54I wanted to wear something gold because I'm celebrating my golden years.
06:58I'm in my golden years now, turning 60.
07:00Does it hurt when you wake up?
07:01No, I feel good.
07:03Number 44.
07:04Elizabeth Gillies and Michael Corcoran.
07:0620 years.
07:07Liz and backhouse Mike make for an unlikely couple, but they couldn't be happier together.
07:12The pair has an age difference of two decades.
07:15They met while working on Victorious, made music together,
07:18and reportedly entered a relationship after she turned 19.
07:21I moved in with my boyfriend after two weeks of dating him.
07:23Good idea.
07:24So, you know, my dad, it always works out when you do that.
07:28We're still together, so it's good.
07:30The Little Shop of Horror star told People magazine that she fell in love with Michael's musical talent.
07:35The two took their romance to the next level by marrying in 2020.
07:39Despite pearls being clutched and eyebrows being raised,
07:42Liz has maintained that they're, quote, best friends,
07:45which she says is what makes their marriage work.
07:47I know what I want, and I knew that I, I didn't know that I would fall in love with him.
07:53I thought maybe it was just a fun challenge.
07:55I was like, this will be, this will be a good story one day.
07:58And then I fell in love with him, and I was like, oh, God.
08:00And then we adopted 400 animals together, and now that we fully have a life together,
08:04obviously, as my husband, and we've been together for a very long time.
08:06And, uh, yeah, it, um, I feel very lucky.
08:10Number 43, The Undertaker and Michelle McCool, 14 years.
08:15In April 2025, the wrestling GOAT inducted his wife,
08:19who's also a retired pro wrestler, into the WWE Hall of Fame.
08:23You're a legend.
08:25You're my best friend.
08:28And you are, without question,
08:30Needless to say, they are a power couple.
08:46The Undertaker, also known as Mark William Calloway and Michelle McCool,
08:50whose real name is Michelle Lee Calloway, have a 14-year age difference.
08:54They each had their doubts about their relationship at first.
08:56Mark was apparently against dating co-workers,
08:59and Michelle was apprehensive about his daunting image.
09:02Then he, you know, balling me around a little bit more,
09:05finding me in the bleachers, just having random conversations,
09:08wanting to get to know me a little better.
09:09I'm like, okay, again, it's The Undertaker.
09:11I can't, like, say, I don't really feel like talking to you.
09:14Like, that's something to do.
09:16However, they fell in love and married in 2010.
09:19The mighty Undertaker adores his wife so much,
09:22he once teared up while gushing over her in an interview.
09:26That's when I showed my hand.
09:27That's when he's like, I'm gonna let the world know.
09:28I don't care.
09:31So, that was it.
09:32There's that.
09:33Number 42, John Stamos and Caitlin McHugh, 23 years.
09:38The Full House heartthrob is aging like a fine wine.
09:41No wonder his wife, actress Caitlin McHugh,
09:44fell for him despite being a whopping 23 years younger than him.
09:47She never watched, tell him, you never watched Full House or any shows I was on.
09:53A little bit.
09:53I wasn't, I mean, I wasn't a fan.
09:55But you weren't gonna be, if you, if you married a fan, that says more about you than it does.
09:58There you go.
09:59See that?
09:59The couple met in 2011 while filming a rather morbid episode of Law & Order SVU.
10:05They bumped into each other again during a taping of Fuller House that Caitlin was in the audience for.
10:10They reportedly became an item in 2016, walked down the aisle in 2018, and welcomed a baby boy named Billy that same year.
10:18Their ageless love for all things Disney aside, the key to their marriage, Stamos says, is the morals and values they share.
10:26I've had all my dreams come true a hundred times over, and this was the one last thing that I thought, I don't know if it's gonna happen.
10:34And thank God, you know, she came around, and I attribute it to, you know, straightening up my life and being a better person.
10:41Number 41. Kelsey Grammer and Kate Walsh, 24 years.
10:45The Frasier star's fourth and current wife is only about four years older than his eldest daughter, Spencer Grammer.
10:51The couple reportedly met in 2009.
10:53He was traveling to London, and Kate was a flight attendant on his plane.
10:58Humorous, funny, challenging.
11:00She's got a really good brain, and is quite comfortable using it.
11:06They quickly hit it off despite their 24-year age difference.
11:10This would have been quite romantic if only Grammer hadn't been married to actress Camille Meyer at the time.
11:15It was messy, it's been difficult since then.
11:18Kate was uncertain about, you know, I was trying to do something, some noble gesture to make the destruction of the marriage, the previous marriage, go easier somehow.
11:31And that was a mistake.
11:33Their affair led to his divorce from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star in 2011, the same year he married Kate.
11:39The pair has welcomed four children together, their youngest and his eighth overall, little Christopher, arriving in October 2025.
11:49Number 40. Alexandra Daddario and Andrew Form, 17 years.
11:53The White Lotus star and her husband have a love story worthy of getting the Hollywood treatment.
11:58They were strolling through New York City when they passed each other on the street, and sparks flew.
12:02This was during the COVID-19 pandemic, and their first two dates were at the Greenwich Hotel in New York.
12:09And then on our second date, we did the same thing at the hotel, because there was nowhere to go, and he'd come into town and stay there, and I brought my dog, and the dog wandered into the kitchen, and the people working in the kitchen just sort of were like, oh, hey, here's your dog, and we just took over the Greenwich Hotel.
12:26By May 2021, they were an Instagram official couple, and a year later, they were married.
12:33In an interview with Willie Geist, Alexandra shared that her connection with Andrew was instant.
12:38It just clicked with Andrew. He's just a really wonderful person, and very funny, and it just clicks.
12:43Clearly, their 17-year age difference did nothing to stop them from falling head over heels for each other.
12:50Number 39. Eddie Murphy and Paige Butcher, 18 years.
12:54The comedy legend famously fathered 10 children with 5 women.
12:58His current wife, Paige Butcher, who gave birth to his two youngest kids, is around 18 years younger than him.
13:04Young Max Charles is doing great.
13:06How old is Max right now?
13:07He's a year. Just turned a year old.
13:08Oh, that's fun. That's fun right there.
13:11They reportedly got together in 2012, and tied the knot in 2024.
13:16Although their romance has faced scrutiny for their massive age gap, Paige has no time for the hate.
13:21She told Vanity Fair that she prefers to keep a low profile to avoid feeding into the public's fascination with her private life.
13:28That's why the couple rarely makes public appearances, though when they do, they look stunning.
13:33It seems she's grown close to her stepchildren, too.
13:35What did Eddie say when you came down the stairs ready for the evening?
13:39He loved it, yeah.
13:41Being the great romantic man that he is, what did he say?
13:43Yes, he's very romantic.
13:44Number 38. Robert De Niro and Tiffany Chen, 35 years.
13:48We get it. It's Robert De Niro.
13:51How could one not fall in love with his timeless charms?
13:54The thing is, he keeps falling for women much younger than him.
13:58What are you doing?
14:00Talking to you.
14:02You're going to be so excited.
14:04You're more beautiful than ever when you're getting at me.
14:09You're sick.
14:10His exes, Tukey Smith and Grace Hightower, were around a decade younger, and his rumored flame Naomi Campbell was 26 years younger.
14:18Shockingly, his current girlfriend, Tiffany Chen, who gave birth to their first and his seventh child in 2023, is 35 years his junior.
14:26She's a martial artist and dancer who reportedly met the Taxi Driver star on the set of The Intern and started dating him in 2021.
14:34They may not feel the age difference in love, but when it comes to parenting, the octogenarian admitted that Tiffany does the, quote, heavy lifting.
14:41It's okay.
14:43Look at her hair, Tiffany.
14:45Yeah, she has a ton.
14:46Can I pick her up?
14:47Yes.
14:48Say hi.
14:49Oh, my God.
14:52Number 37.
14:53Robert Duvall and Luciana Petraza.
14:5541 years.
14:57The storied actor was almost a decade into his marriage with his first wife, Barbara Brent, when his current wife was born.
15:03Argentine actress Luciana Petraza is 41 years younger than Robert Duvall.
15:07You think I'd have a chance?
15:09Chance for what?
15:09With you.
15:11Well, you have it now.
15:12What?
15:12Well, you have it now.
15:15What?
15:15You're talking about it?
15:17What?
15:17Welcome to Argentina, my friend.
15:22They met in her home country after he wrapped up filming for the man who captured Eichmann and married in 2005.
15:28She was in her early 30s, and he was pushing 75.
15:31On Oprah's Masterclass, the Tender Mercy star candidly revealed that Luciana had her concerns about the future of their relationship.
15:38She had asked him what it would be like when they grew old together, and he dismissed her apprehension by joking that he was already old.
15:44It must have been a satisfying response because the two are still going strong.
15:49We enjoy each other's company.
15:51Love is an important thing, you know.
15:53All kinds of love.
15:55Try to keep love in a status quo, you know, and keep it fresh and alive and legitimate, sincere.
16:05Number 36, Mick Jagger and Melanie Hamrick, 43 years.
16:10This couple reportedly met in Tokyo in February 2014.
16:14Melanie, who was a dancer with the American Ballet Theater, was performing in the city and had the chance to attend a Rolling Stones show.
16:21She crossed paths with Mick Jagger backstage, but their interaction was apparently limited to a fist bump.
16:26I think what you see is him.
16:28Very smart, very funny, dedicated to his craft, dedicated to being the best performer he can be.
16:35It's really, it's a motivation to me to see what he puts in every day.
16:40Not long afterwards, the musician's then-girlfriend Loren Scott reportedly took her own life, leaving Mick devastated.
16:46Months later, he started seeing Melanie, and they've been together ever since.
16:50The pair, who are now engaged and parents of one, got major backlash for their 43-year age difference.
16:57However, Hamrick says haters should, quote, mind their own business.
17:01She even told Page Six that she considers the rock star to be younger than her.
17:05I mean, everyone's going to have an opinion of everyone's relationship when you're in the spotlight.
17:11And as I said recently, I block out the noise.
17:15Am I hurting anyone? No.
17:16Am I happy? Yes.
17:17Is my family happy? Yes.
17:18And that's really all that matters.
17:19Number 35, Madonna and Josh Popper, 35 years.
17:24Since the late 90s, the Queen of Pop has almost exclusively dated younger men.
17:28Her exes Guy Ritchie, Brahim Ziba, Timur Stephens, Alamalik Williams, and Josh Popper were all much younger than her.
17:35However, the material girl singer says it's not a conscious choice.
17:39Rather, the men she falls for just happen to be a certain age.
17:42The youngest was in the last six years, 22. Yeah.
17:47Yeah.
17:47All right.
17:49But why is everyone so obsessed?
17:54Madonna and Popper, who is a boxing coach and once trained her son, David Banda, have a 35-year age gap.
18:00Though they had a serious relationship, it did not last.
18:03Madge started dating Akeem Morris soon after.
18:06And surprise, surprise, he's also younger than her.
18:08Age is a number.
18:10I agree with you, and I think we're the same age, and I certainly don't feel my age.
18:15I feel like, you know, until I have to tell someone my age or if I read it in print because they are obsessed with it.
18:19Until you're walking with a Zimmer frame.
18:21Yo, you can do whatever you want.
18:22The celebrated football coach had lived for almost half a century when his girlfriend came into the world.
18:32All three of his children, Amanda, Steven, and Brian, are older than her too.
18:36But that clearly didn't matter.
18:38The pair reportedly met in 2021 on a plane.
18:41By 2023, they were rumored to be together.
18:44And a year later, they were confirmed to be a couple.
18:46That's so cute that he took his granddaughter out for subs.
18:50No, he wasn't.
18:50Though the former NFL coach has been widely lampooned for dating the ex-cheerleader,
18:55Jordan prefers not to talk about their relationship.
18:58She once shut down questions about their romance when her boyfriend was interviewed on CBS News Sunday morning
19:03and told an Instagram user off for a negative comment about their love.
19:07The topic seems to be touchy for her.
19:09How did you guys meet?
19:11Not talking about this.
19:12No?
19:13No.
19:14It's a topic neither one of them is comfortable commenting on.
19:18Number 33.
19:19Donald Trump and Melania Trump.
19:2023 years.
19:22The President of the United States and his third wife have been together for two decades.
19:26It is objectively a successful marriage,
19:28which is impressive considering Donald and Melania have a 23-year age gap.
19:32The couple met in 1998 when the now First Lady was working as a model and married in 2005.
19:38And it was a long engagement.
19:40It was.
19:41Why?
19:43Well, you know, we just had a great time and we didn't worry about it and, you know, just live lives.
19:49And then one day, surprise.
19:54Their relationship became tabloid fodder and people speculated that Melania was dating the businessman for his money.
19:59She addressed these accusations in an interview with ABC News,
20:03emphasizing that she was in love with him because he was, quote,
20:05quote, kind and, quote, charming.
20:07To those calling her love insincere, she simply said, quote,
20:11they don't know me.
20:12Give me an example of a piece of advice that you've given your husband that he has taken.
20:17I will keep it private.
20:21Number 32, Woody Allen and Soon-Yi Previn, 34 years.
20:26This couple's age gap isn't the only problematic thing about their relationship.
20:30Their romance had an unconventional start, to say the least.
20:33Is this still an ongoing relationship with you?
20:35They fell in love while her adoptive mother, Mia Farrow, was dating the Annie Hall director.
20:55Previn later revealed in an interview that she despised her now husband for romancing her mother
20:59because she thought Farrow was a, quote, nasty, mean person.
21:03After their affair came to light, the Rosemary's baby actress split from Allen,
21:07who went on to marry Soon-Yi in 1997.
21:10Are you going to be sad to go home?
21:12Are you going to miss Europe?
21:14No, no.
21:15I mean, I like this trip a lot.
21:17It's been fun.
21:18We've been on the go constantly.
21:20In a more recent interview with the Wall Street Journal,
21:23the Oscar-winning filmmaker revealed he never thought he would be married to a woman 34 years younger than him.
21:29The pair are now parents to two daughters, whom they adopted.
21:33Number 31.
21:34Al Pacino and Noor Alfala.
21:3653 years.
21:37The Godfather star and his ex-girlfriend,
21:39who's also the mother of his youngest child, Roman,
21:42are over five decades apart.
21:44You would think not, but they did.
21:47I mean, it's a fact.
21:50Noor Alfala, who has previously been linked to other much older men like Mick Jagger and Clint Eastwood,
21:55first sparked romance rumors with Pacino in April 2022.
21:59An insider told People magazine that the pair didn't see age as a, quote,
22:03major issue.
22:04However, their love did not last, and they went their separate ways.
22:08Al and Noor are now reportedly friends, and amicably co-parent their son.
22:13I was my best friend.
22:14Okay.
22:16Are you guys boyfriend and girlfriend still?
22:18You know?
22:19No, but he's my best friend.
22:20Okay.
22:21How's the co-parenting going with him?
22:23Amazing.
22:23How many couples can say they were introduced by Ed Sheeran while partying with Taylor Swift?
22:32Well, kind of.
22:33On Sundays, I have people over, and we have a mutual friend who introduced us,
22:38brought Taylor over, and Johnny and Gary, and that's how we met.
22:42Cox started dating singer Johnny McDade shortly after her divorce from David Arquette was finalized in 2013.
22:48Just six months later, the two got engaged, but they broke it off about a year after that.
22:53We went to this therapist to talk about our boundaries, what we could and couldn't accept
22:57about each other.
22:58There's that acceptance.
22:59Uh-huh.
23:00Instead, he just broke up within the first minute.
23:04And I was like, what?
23:05And we were engaged.
23:06And I was so shocked.
23:09However, by spring of 2016, the actor and rock star were back together again.
23:13Although Cox lives in the U.S. and McDade lives in London, they managed to make the long-distance
23:19relationship work with frequent visits and plenty of Zoom dates.
23:22Distance, after that breakup, we were apart for six months.
23:25That really showed us a lot.
23:27And it's just better.
23:28I mean, it's expensive.
23:29I mean, that's an expensive relationship.
23:30Yeah.
23:30To go back Thursday, yeah.
23:32We go back and forth a lot.
23:33Number 29.
23:34Ewan McGregor and Mary Elizabeth Winstead.
23:3614 years.
23:37These two actors were both married to other people when they met on the set of the TV
23:41show Fargo.
23:42McGregor played a parole officer and Winstead played the parolee he's dating.
23:46Technically, we're not supposed to be, you know, dating.
23:49And I'm saying it's mission critical to keep that a secret.
23:52So when it comes to signing official forms, I mean, talk about showing your cards.
23:57Their fictional relationship must have led to real-life sparks because the two announced
24:02their separation from their respective spouses in May of 2017 and soon began dating each
24:07other.
24:08They had a son in 2021 and finally tied the knot in 2022.
24:13The pair has continued working together over the years, appearing opposite each other in
24:17Birds of Prey and once again playing a couple in A Gentleman in Moscow.
24:21Forget about the shoes.
24:22No, what about your sheets?
24:23Oh, for goodness sake.
24:29Number 28.
24:31Tig Notaro and Stephanie Allen.
24:3214 years.
24:33Believe it or not, when Notaro and Allen met on the set of In A World, Allen had never
24:38dated women before and identified as straight.
24:41But she couldn't deny her connection with Notaro.
24:44You should cut your hair.
24:45Stop trying to woo me by being mean.
24:47Does it work?
24:49You want to get a drink later?
24:51Okay.
24:51The two bonded over their shared sense of humor and began texting each other for hours
24:55at a time.
24:56By late 2015, they were married and had twin sons the following year.
25:01It turns out that marriage and parenthood are ripe sources of comedy for Notaro's stand-up
25:06routine.
25:06Like many other couples on this list, the two have continued working together, with Allen
25:11directing Notaro's latest special.
25:13It's starting to feel like life is kind of normal again because we're getting sleep and
25:20we're going out and socializing.
25:22We went to a movie premiere, got home at 11.
25:25It was a big night.
25:26Number 27, Chris Evans and Alba Batista, 16 years.
25:31This pair managed to keep their relationship a secret for over a year before going public
25:35in November 2022.
25:37They got married in an extremely private ceremony in September 2023 in the midst of Evans'
25:43year-long hiatus from acting.
25:44That's kind of why I had to jump at it.
25:46Last year, there was...
25:47I had an opportunity to do...
25:50There were two opportunities.
25:51We can understand why they'd want to stay out of the public eye.
25:53Plenty of internet commentators have been critical of Evans for dating a much younger
25:57woman.
25:58But it's not hard to figure out what Captain America sees in Batista.
26:01The multilingual Portuguese actress is a devoted humanitarian and clearly has a fantastic sense
26:07of humor.
26:11Number 26, Kevin Kline and Phoebe Cates, 16 years.
26:16Many people might be surprised to learn that these two are a couple, since Cates has mostly
26:20stayed out of the public eye since the early 90s.
26:23But they've actually been married since 1989.
26:26No, if you'd been in here, I would've known about it.
26:29People would've talked about it.
26:30Like, uh, hey, Joy, you see what was in here the other night?
26:34My God, what a beauty.
26:35Cates and Kline met in 1983 when Cates was auditioning for The Big Chill.
26:40They began dating two years later, and the rest is history.
26:43The two appeared in a couple of films together before Cates stepped away from the spotlight to
26:47raise their family.
26:48However, in 2001, the pair teamed up on screen again, along with their kids, for the small
26:54dramedy The Anniversary Party.
26:56After almost 40 years together, their love has proven it will stand the test of time.
27:01Someone like you doesn't come around that often.
27:03It's like a national holiday.
27:05You know what I mean?
27:06You don't forget it.
27:07Number 25, Jerry Seinfeld and Jessica Seinfeld, 17 years.
27:12Where is it Jerry and Jessica Seinfeld?
27:13Which do you?
27:14Depends if it's a hospital wing or, uh...
27:17Either way, I guess you get in trouble.
27:19Although their relationship began with a bit of a scandal, the Seinfelds have managed
27:23to make things work for more than a quarter century.
27:25When they met in 1998, Jerry was fresh out of another relationship with a much younger
27:30woman, whom he'd started dating when she was just 18.
27:33Jessica, on the other hand, had just gotten married and recently returned from her honeymoon.
27:37The two began dating, and Jessica divorced her husband two months later.
27:41I don't know what that is, but he just said, this is someone I want to spend my life with.
27:45Wow.
27:46Okay.
27:47And I've heard...
27:48Despite the scrutiny from the media, the couple has proven that nothing can stand in
27:52the way of two people who are truly in love.
27:54Number 24, Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid, 20 years.
27:59Hadid must have a thing for older actors who have a thing for younger women.
28:02Shortly after her romance with Leonardo DiCaprio, the supermodel was spotted spending time with
28:07another man 20 years her senior.
28:09Do you really want to know?
28:10This is going to be scary.
28:12Let's see.
28:13Okay.
28:13Okay, Google.
28:15Read me my last text.
28:16She and Cooper were first seen together in October 2023, and apparently have been going
28:22strong ever since.
28:23Friends say that despite the two-decade age difference, the pair have a lot in common.
28:28Both are parents of young daughters from previous relationships, and the two reportedly have
28:33a similar sense of humor.
28:34If the relationship turns out to have staying power, can you imagine?
28:37How gorgeous Cooper and Hadid's kids would be?
28:39I actually petitioned myself to see if I could, if usually there's a cutoff.
28:44I wanted to make it two years.
28:45A two-year rate.
28:46Yeah, that's what I was hoping.
28:48Number 23, Ice-T and Coco Austin, 21 years.
28:52This celeb couple really does make us believe in love.
28:55When they met on the set of a music video, Coco fell for Ice's charm right away.
29:00And I go, oh, well, he sees nice.
29:03And I said, well, baby, you take the N off nice, you get ice.
29:06It works.
29:07And then it worked.
29:08And we ended up here.
29:09Now, more than 20 years later, they truly look like they're still smitten with each other.
29:13Coco and Ice have been through a lot over the last two decades.
29:16Ups and downs in their careers, producing and starring in a reality TV show about their
29:21lives, and of course, raising a daughter together.
29:24Yet through it all, it's obvious to everyone that Ice still loves Coco.
29:28Number 22, Leonardo DiCaprio and Vittoria Ceretti, 24 years.
29:45We don't know yet whether this love will have staying power or whether Leo's eyes will start
29:49wandering when Ceretti gets a bit older.
29:51That said, she's already over 25, the age at which DiCaprio tends to move on from his
29:57girlfriends.
29:57Once upon a time in Hollywood, nearly three hours long, Leonardo DiCaprio attended the
30:02premiere, and by the end, his date was too old for him.
30:05She might not have been born when Titanic was released, but the two seem to find plenty
30:10of things to talk about when they're spotted together in public.
30:12The Italian model is already a world traveler with a very successful career.
30:17We hope Leo's not just relying on his fame to keep Ceretti interested.
30:20Who chose this photo, all right?
30:22I have a double chin, all right?
30:23Nobody notices that crap.
30:25Number 21, Jeff Goldblum and Emily Livingston, 30 years.
30:29You might be worried that a 70-year-old man who marries a contortionist 30 years younger
30:34than him has bitten off more than he can chew.
30:36But to be fair, he's not just any 70-year-old man.
30:40He's Jeff Goldblum.
30:41He and Emily Livingston met at the gym, where we can imagine the Olympic gymnast caught a lot
30:46of people's eyes.
30:47Goldblum had the courage to shoot a shot, and Livingston fell for him.
30:51She was doing some kind of, you can imagine, a fantastical, insane.
30:55So I was compelled to go over and just ask what was happening and what was going on.
31:02And that was the beginning?
31:03That was the beginning, yeah.
31:04Now, the pair have been married a decade and have two kids together.
31:08It's actually really romantic when you think about it.
31:11She's my inspiration.
31:12She's my muse and garden elf.
31:18Number 20, Elton John and David Furnish, 15 years.
31:22Door that night, there was something that immediately clicked with him.
31:27If we learn anything from Elton and David's love story, it's that if you're single, you
31:31shouldn't hesitate to accept an invitation to a dinner party because you might just meet
31:35the love of your life.
31:36That's what happened to Furnish when he agreed to be a friend's plus one to a dinner party
31:41at Elton John's place in London in October of 1993.
31:44David and John hit it off immediately, and obviously the 15-year age difference didn't
31:49bother either of them, as David returned the next night for a one-on-one meal with the
31:53Rocket Man.
31:54The couple has basically been together ever since, creating a civil union in 2005 and getting
32:00married in 2014, a few months after same-sex marriage was legalized in Great Britain.
32:05You feel like celebrating, you feel like letting your head down.
32:08Number 19, Hilary Burton and Jeffrey Dean Morgan, 16 years.
32:13Hi, what's up?
32:14Hey, how are you?
32:16In May of 2009, a soon-to-be 27-year-old Hilary Burton and a just-turned-43-year-old Jeffrey
32:23Dean Morgan were introduced by their mutual friends Jensen Ackles and Daniil Harris.
32:28Daniil was Hilary's former co-star on One Tree Hill, and Jensen had worked with Jeffrey
32:33on Supernatural.
32:33Well, as it turns out, sometimes your friends do know what's best for you.
32:42And these two didn't waste any time consummating their relationship either, as Morgan hinted
32:47on Instagram in May of 2021.
32:49Quote,
32:50As with many of the couples on this list, Klum and Cowlitz hit it off right away.
33:13They first met while Klum was in her home country of Germany, hosting Germany's Next Top
33:17Model.
33:18Okay, so the first one is Waschbrettbau.
33:21Cowlitz, the guitarist for the German rock band Tokyo Hotel, is, well, also German, and
33:27that connection turned out to be just one of many things these lovebirds had in common.
33:31As one source told Us Weekly, quote,
33:34They fell into an easy rhythm really quickly.
33:37One thing they don't have in common is their age.
33:40When Cowlitz was born in September of 1989, Klum had recently turned 16.
33:46But as Klum told InStyle, besides when people ask her about the age difference, quote,
33:50I don't really think about it that much otherwise.
33:53I found the love of my life.
33:55Better late than never.
33:57Also ich hab nie an das Konzept der einen großen Liebe geglaubt, weil ich eigentlich immer
34:03gedacht hab, dass es die große Liebe gar nicht gibt, dass ich sie dann getroffen hab.
34:08Number 17.
34:10Patrick Stewart and Sonny Ozzell.
34:1237 years.
34:13It's true that they have an age gap of well over three decades.
34:16But since Sir Patrick Stewart hasn't aged since the late 80s, they really shouldn't
34:20even qualify for this list.
34:22All jokes aside, the pair has a sense of humor about their age difference, and they don't
34:26seem phased by other people's opinions.
34:28It may not be a romantic comedy.
34:31It might be more of a, you know, a Walking Dead movie, actually.
34:35As far as I am concerned.
34:37I don't understand.
34:38They met while Ozzell was waitressing and Stewart was performing in Macbeth, and tied
34:42the knot in 2013, with Stewart's longtime friend Ian McKellen officiating.
34:47These days, when they're not working, they spend their free time fostering shelter dogs
34:51and looking stunning together on red carpets.
34:53Talk about relationship goals.
34:55Patrick, would you agree with that?
34:57Wow.
34:59Look at that smile.
35:00I have seen that happen.
35:02Number 16.
35:04David Cross and Amber Tamblyn.
35:0619 years.
35:06Did you hear the one about the young actress who hung out with the comedian 19 years older
35:11than her on a plane and fell in love?
35:13While you might think this was a setup to a David Cross comedy sketch, it's actually
35:17how he met his beautiful wife, actress and writer Amber Tamblyn.
35:21Cross has said that despite having seen one another around L.A., he was, quote,
35:26slow to make any moves because of our age difference.
35:28Blah, blah, blah, blah.
35:29Rules one, two, and three of the pants.
35:31Blah, blah, blah.
35:32Prayer.
35:33And we hold hands.
35:34But you also can't fight true love.
35:36And Cross has also said that from the moment they met on that plane, it was, quote,
35:41so obvious they would eventually be together.
35:43And they did eventually start dating, get married, and have a child together.
35:48Which we assume means that Tobias got over that never-nude thing.
35:53Oh, I'm sorry.
35:54No, I need you to be completely undressed.
35:56Number 15.
35:57Dennis Quaid and Laura Savoy.
35:5939 years.
36:00Unlike most of the other people on our list, Savoy isn't in the entertainment industry.
36:04A mutual friend introduced her to Quaid in 2019 when she was a PhD student.
36:09And Quaid says it was love at first sight.
36:12You got down on one knee.
36:13No, I didn't have a chance to get on a knee.
36:15She was actually taking a selfie of us, and I put the ring in front.
36:19Really?
36:20Yeah.
36:20I said, will you marry me?
36:21Oh, my goodness.
36:22And then she fell down.
36:24They got married just a year later.
36:26According to Quaid, the couple barely even noticed the nearly four-decade age difference.
36:31Now, she's a certified public accountant with multiple degrees in finance.
36:35Savoy and Quaid might not be able to bond over their jobs, but they do connect over their
36:40shared Christian faith, which plays an important role in their relationship.
36:44Yeah, God is in the relationship, for one thing, which I've never had a relationship like
36:49that before.
36:51And she's super smart, and she's very deep.
36:55I mean, we just have fun together.
36:56We do.
36:57Number 14.
36:58Dick Van Dyke and Arlene Silver.
37:0046 years.
37:01Who was I talking to?
37:03Cate Blanchett.
37:04I was talking to Cate Blanchett.
37:05Yeah.
37:06And she walked by, and I said, excuse me.
37:09And blew off Cate Blanchett.
37:10I would not blow off Cate Blanchett for me.
37:13Van Dyke loves to tell the story of how he met his much younger wife.
37:16And like Patrick Stewart and Sonny Ozzell, Van Dyke and Silver clearly have a sense of humor
37:21about the whole age thing.
37:22You kind of have to when all four of your kids are considerably older than your wife.
37:27This is my beautiful child bride, Arlene.
37:30Hello.
37:31Silver, Van Dyke.
37:32Despite their age difference, the two seem to have a genuinely sweet and wholesome relationship.
37:37They were friends for several years before things got romantic, though it's pretty obvious
37:41that Van Dyke was smitten with Silver from the start.
37:44He might be old enough to be her grandfather, but they're both young at heart.
37:48Number 13.
37:50Alec Baldwin and Ilaria Baldwin.
37:5226 years.
37:54It sounds like the IMDb summary of a romantic comedy.
37:56A soon-to-be 53-year-old man is having dinner with a friend when he sees a beautiful girl.
38:02Sure, she's 26 years younger than him, but that doesn't stop him from walking up to her
38:06and telling her,
38:07I must know you.
38:08He gives her his number, and less than a year and a half later, they're married in New York City.
38:13Well, it isn't a movie, but the man in the story is a movie star.
38:16The man was Alec Baldwin, and the woman was the soon-to-be Ilaria Baldwin.
38:24The couple is still going strong, and have added seven kids to the mix as well.
38:29Then Leo, I'll let you tell her, Leo virtually smeared the cake all of them like it was in
38:34Lord of the Flies.
38:35He was doing like a mud bath, it was really, it was great.
38:38Number 12.
38:38Kris Jenner and Corey Gamble.
38:4025 years.
38:42Being around y'all and your mother, I think they just start jumping in.
38:46Day by day.
38:47It's a tale as old as time.
38:50You're in Ibiza, you're having a good time at Kanye West's party for fashion designer
38:54Ricardo Tisci's 40th birthday, and you happen to notice the momager slash mogul of the Jenner
38:59Kardashian empire.
39:01She's about 25 years your senior, but you get to chatting, and a few months later, you're
39:05a couple.
39:06Come on, who can't relate to that?
39:07Okay, so no one except Corey Gamble can.
39:10And while many in her family weren't too sure about him and the relationship, Jenner was,
39:15and has remained so.
39:17Which is all that matters, right?
39:19So if I don't have kids and the love is still strong, and we got the friendship, like the
39:24current situation I'm in, then I'm cool with that.
39:26Number 11.
39:27George Clooney and Amal Clooney.
39:2917 years.
39:30We had to hide for, I don't know, a couple of months, because you just want to make sure.
39:35You know, you don't want, you want to get to know each other and get to spend time with
39:39each other and not do it, you know, on the front page of Hello Magazine.
39:43George Clooney was one of Hollywood's great bachelors.
39:46That was true until July of 2013 in Lake Como, Italy, when he met the brilliant and beautiful
39:52Amal Alamuddin.
39:54But while there was a pretty immediate attraction on Clooney's end, the Ocean's 11 star was
39:59a little unsure about how Amal felt towards him, because of the age gap.
40:03As he told Howard Stern.
40:05I couldn't tell if she liked me, because, you know, I'm 17 years older than her, so
40:09she might have thought I was, you know, grandpa.
40:11A geyser, right.
40:12Obviously she didn't, or she really likes grandpas, because in October, they reportedly
40:17had their first date, and in April of 2014, their engagement was confirmed.
40:22Well done, grandpa.
40:24Number 10.
40:25Sam Taylor Johnson and Aaron Taylor Johnson.
40:2723 years.
40:29In 2008, Aaron auditioned for the film Nowhere Boy.
40:33The film was Samantha's directorial debut, and when Aaron walked in, she found the leading
40:38man in the film, and in her life.
40:40I'm John.
40:42Paul.
40:43And while a 23-year age gap might seem like a big deal to some, Aaron told The Telegraph
40:48UK that, quote,
40:49When I met Sam, I'd already lived a life far beyond that of most of my contemporaries.
40:55I didn't relate to anyone my age.
40:57Now, while the connection was intense, the actor and director kept things very professional
41:02during the making of the movie.
41:03We're blocking it out, we're composing the shot, and then I'm behind the monitor,
41:07I'm watching it, and I'm like, oh.
41:11They still had not been on a date or kissed when the film wrapped, but the moment they
41:15were done, Aaron told Sam he was going to marry her.
41:19Number 9.
41:20Jason Statham and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.
41:2320 years.
41:23We'd love to tell you how these two met, but we don't know.
41:27Some reports have the meeting at Coachella, while others put it on the set of Transformers
41:32Dark of the Moon.
41:33What is that?
41:35This is your new lucky bunny.
41:36We do know that it was in 2010, and while the 20-year age gap did raise some eyebrows,
41:42Rosie has said that they, quote,
41:43Have a connection that has nothing to do with age.
41:46For those curious about wedding bells, Rosie has said that she believes in marriage, but,
41:51quote,
41:51Being in a happy relationship is much more important to me.
41:55And while they did get engaged in 2016, they have yet to officially tie the knot.
42:00They do have two children together.
42:02You know, we definitely talk about it, we're looking forward to that time, but it's also
42:06not a huge priority to us.
42:08We're so happy.
42:09Number 8.
42:10Elliot Spencer and Stephen Fry.
42:1230 years.
42:13My cousin, Lord Alfred Douglas, is here.
42:15He would very much like to congratulate you.
42:17Comedian, actor, and writer Stephen Fry has been a staple of the British comedy scene
42:22since the 1980s.
42:24And speaking of the 80s, his husband, Elliot Spencer, was born in said decade.
42:291987, to be exact.
42:31Which was the same year that Fry turned 30.
42:34But even though Stephen had found lots of professional happiness, personal happiness
42:38wasn't as evident until he met Elliot in 2012.
42:41As you may have expected, there were some shocked onlookers given the age gap between
42:46these two.
42:47But as you also probably expected, Spencer shot back at the haters, saying, quote,
42:52I don't care what people think.
42:54Stephen is the love of my life.
42:56The light of my life.
42:57I'm now a unit.
42:59Of two people rather than a unit of one.
43:01Number 7.
43:02Ben Kingsley and Daniela Lavender.
43:0531 years.
43:06I have no defense, my lord.
43:07I'm guilty as charged.
43:08From Gandhi to a sexy beast, Ben Kingsley has played many roles over his long and illustrious
43:14professional career.
43:15I'm not going to pull it out.
43:17You're just going to have to wait until I finish it.
43:18It's as simple as that.
43:19And the same is true for his private life, in which he has played the role of husband
43:23four times, including his marriage to Daniela Lavender, which began in 2007 when he was
43:3063 and she was 32.
43:31While the 31-year age difference is a lot, it isn't new to Kingsley, who in the 90s
43:37dated Kate Townsend, an actress who was 30 years his junior.
43:41They dated, but no, she is not one of his three ex-wives.
43:45Number 6.
43:46Warren Beatty and Annette Bening.
43:4821 years.
43:49If you thought George Clooney was one of the great bachelors, let us tell you that his
43:54bachelorhood does not hold a candle to one of the all-time most iconic Hollywood bachelors,
44:00Warren Beatty.
44:01In fact, Carly Simon, who has said that the second verse of her famous song, You're So
44:05Vain, is about Beatty, when talking about having dated the famous actor, followed it
44:10up with, quote, hasn't everybody?
44:12And that was very true, until he met Annette Bening for lunch to prepare for their co-starring
44:24roles in 1991's Bugsy.
44:31And that was it.
44:34The 50-something-year-old Beatty had found his perfect someone in the 30-something-year-old
44:39Bening.
44:39And his bachelor days were over.
44:42They were married in 1992.
44:44Number 5.
44:45Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart.
44:4722 years.
44:49Sure, the odds are really low that someone who's never seen the original Star Wars movies
44:54would end up married to the man who played Han Solo in those films.
44:57But you know how Han feels about odds.
44:59Never tell me the odds.
45:01Yeah, it's true.
45:02Calista Flockhart had not seen the films when they first met.
45:05And as she told Jimmy Kimmel, she had no idea what a Millennium Falcon was for quite some
45:11time.
45:11But that and the 22-year age difference were no match for the true love that started to
45:20bloom between these two when they first met at the 2002 Golden Globe Awards.
45:25According to Calista, she even sometimes forgets how big the age gap between them is, telling
45:30Hello Magazine, quote,
45:31it doesn't factor into our relationship at all.
45:35Number 4.
45:35Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones.
45:3825 years.
45:40Douglas and Zeta-Jones share a love for each other and a birthday.
45:44Yep, Michael and Catherine were born on the exact same day, September 25th.
45:48Just 25 years apart.
45:50We don't know if that amazing coincidence has anything to do with it, but the Traffic co-stars
45:54have remained one of the strongest couples in Hollywood since meeting all the way back
45:58in 1998, after seeing her in the Mask of Zorro.
46:04Douglas, like pretty much everyone else in the world, wanted to meet Zeta-Jones.
46:08But unlike the rest of us, what Michael Douglas wants, he often gets.
46:13And this was no exception.
46:15I think it's not taking the person closest to you for granted.
46:20They ended up meeting thanks to being introduced by a fellow actor while they were both in
46:24Europe for a film festival.
46:25They were married in 2000.
46:28Number 3.
46:28Rod Stewart and Penny Lancaster.
46:3126 years.
46:32I got her phone number, I'd just broken up, and I gave it to the bass player, who said,
46:38you know, a couple of days later, I said, can I have Penny's phone number?
46:40Give her a call.
46:40He said, no.
46:41You're not ready yet.
46:42And he kept it for six months.
46:45One of Stewart's biggest hits, Maggie Mae, was based on his experience of losing his
46:49virginity to an older woman.
46:56And while his first time was with an older woman, he has spent the year since 1999 with
47:01a woman 26 years his junior, whom he met when she accepted a dare from her mates to request
47:06an autograph from the singer.
47:08Penny was in her late 20s at the time, and was studying photography.
47:11The next night, she found herself invited to a show to take pictures of Rod.
47:16Stewart got her phone number, but didn't call her for six months, allegedly because it
47:21was too soon after the breakup of his last marriage.
47:24Penny and Rod eventually tied the knot in 2007.
47:27Paulson and Taylor started dating in 2015, 10 years after they first met.
47:39And no, this wasn't one of them playing the long game or trying to get out of the friend
47:43zone.
47:44This was two people meeting at a party and being attracted to each other.
47:47Hello, everybody decent?
47:49As the Marsha Clark actress told the New York Times, Taylor was, quote, probably the most
47:54exquisitely beautiful woman she'd ever seen.
47:57But both women were in relationships at the time.
48:00So that was that.
48:02Cut to 10 years later, they meet again, they're both single, and they start following each other
48:06on Twitter.
48:07And anyone who thinks that older people don't understand social media should know that it
48:11was Taylor, then in her early 70s, who first slid into Paulson's DMs.
48:17Colin Taylor slid into your DMs?
48:19She actually did.

48:34Number 1 David Foster and Catherine McPhee, 35 years
48:40McPhee might have been a runner-up on American Idol Season 5, but she is the winner of David
48:57Foster's heart.
48:58Although it took a while for them to get there.
49:00In fact, the two first met during her run on the show when the 22-year-old performed
49:05Whitney Houston's I Have Nothing, a song that Foster wrote.
49:08I think Catherine has a great, great future.
49:12Even though there are over 35 years between them, this meeting led to a great friendship.
49:17And Foster even played piano at McPhee's wedding when she married Nick Kokus in 2008.
49:22McPhee filed for divorce in 2014.
49:24And she and David were spotted getting cozy in public in 2017, right around the time that
49:30his fourth divorce was being finalized.
49:32McPhee and Foster married in 2019 and had their first child together two years later.
49:37Someday I'll wish upon a star
49:41And wake up where the clouds are flowery
49:47How big an age gap do you consider acceptable?

49:54If you want to see them, then listen.
49:58Cont dos.
49:59It says once.
50:01McPhee did so let me go.
50:03It says that I have not
50:10been made for their first child after living from me.
50:23It says that I have not been granted.
