There are many beliefs about what the perfect relationship should be like, what true love is, what the characteristics of the person we share our life with should be, and even what milestones a couple should go through. But on many occasions, these things only remain in theory and have nothing to do with practice. Love is very different for each of us, and there are as many kinds as there are people in the world.
At Bright Side, we believe in love and its power, and that’s why we celebrate these celebrities for having found their life partners despite their age.
1. Leonardo DiCaprio and Camila Morrone
Age gap: 23 years
Together since: 2017
Award-winning Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio, 47, and Argentine model Camila Morrone, 24, began their relationship about 5 years ago. The age difference has not been a big deal for them, as this couple seems to be increasingly connected.
2. Thalia and Tommy Mottola
Age gap: 22 years
Married since: 2000
The music producer and the singer met in 1998 thanks to a blind date organized by the popular Gloria and Emilio Estefan. The singer was reluctant at first since she knew that Mottola had been married twice before and had children.
However, love knocked at both their doors, and in December 2000, they walked down the aisle. Today they have been married for more than 21 years and have 2 children together.
3. Camila Alves and Matthew McConaughey
Age gap: 13 years
Married since: 2012
The couple met at a club in 2006, and as the actor said, “We had a great connection. I spoke better Spanish and Portuguese that night than I ever had...”
Today, the couple has 3 children and a strong relationship. “We have a relationship that we never question,” said McConaughey.
4. Jay-Z and Beyoncé
Age gap: 12 years
Married since: 2008
Beyoncé and Jay-Z met in a rather unexpected way when life introduced them to each other during a flight to an award show in 2000. Love came in a matter of time.
Their relationship became official in 2006 and just 2 years later they married in a beautiful ceremony. In 2012, their firstborn, Blue Ivy, arrived and in 2017, they enlarged the family with twins.
5. Mickey Rourke and Anastassija Makarenko
Age gap: 34 years
Together since: 2009
The popular actor met the Russian model during a photo shoot, already more than 12 years ago, and what might have seemed to be something fleeting turned into something serious. Soon after, Mickey met Anastassija’s family and they started living together.
The age difference meant nothing to this couple, and the actor claims, “She is a gift from heaven.”
6. Alicia Vikander and Michael Fassbender
Age gap: 11 years
Married since: 2017
This acting couple met at a film festival, but their relationship started during the filming of the movie, The Light Between Oceans, in 2014, although it became official in 2017.
Although the couple has not yet had children, Vikander has said she does want to start a family and have kids in the future.
7. Hilarie Burton and Jeffrey Dean Morgan
Age gap: 16 years
Married since: 2019
Another acting couple with a considerable age gap is that of Burton and Morgan, who began their relationship back in 2009.
Although they already have a long history and 2 children together, the couple decided to get married in 2019 because, as Burton says, “From the moment I met him, he was my husband. Instead of making vows from the beginning, we lived them. For more than 10 years. The good times and the bad times.”
8. Princess Charlene and Prince Albert of Monaco
Age gap: 20 years
Married since: 2011
Charlene is a former Olympic swimmer who began her relationship with the Prince of Monaco in 2006. Their engagement was announced 4 years later, and for that, the young woman had to learn several languages and traditions.
In July 2011, the couple married, and in December 2014, they welcomed their twins: Gabriela and Jaime.
9. Hayley Roberts and David Hasselhoff
Age gap: 27 years
Married since: 2018
The couple met in 2011 when Roberts approached the actor for an autograph. Hasselhoff would do it only under one condition: that in return she would give him her phone number.
After 7 years of being in a relationship, the star of the iconic show, Baywatch, remarried and claims to “have realized how much I love Hayley and how much we have become part of each other’s lives.”
10. Patrick Stewart and Sunny Ozell
Age gap: 38 years
Married since: 2013
In 2008, Hasselhoff was working as a waitress in New York and Stewart visited her restaurant after finishing his performance in the play, Macbeth.
In 2013, their engagement was made public, and that same year, they were married in a ceremony officiated by fellow actor, Ian McKellen.
11. Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi
Age gap: 15 years
Married since: 2008
One of the most popular and beloved American TV presenters, Ellen DeGeneres, started her relationship with actress Portia de Rossi in 2004. They started dating and were in love, so 4 years later, they got married.
“Portia understands me completely. In our vows, she recited a quote, ’It is good to be loved. It is profound to be understood,’ and for me, that’s it. What ’I love you’ really means is ’I understand you,’ and she loves me for all that I am. She supports me and makes me happy,” DeGeneres said.
12. Mel Gibson and Rosalind Ross
Age gap: 35 years
Together since: 2014
An actor who is remembered for his many great roles and who is still making waves in the acting world is, undoubtedly, Mel Gibson, who opened his heart to love again in 2014 with screenwriter Rosalind Ross.
Although they have not married, the couple already has a son together (2017) named Lars Gerard Gibson.
What is the maximum age difference you have had with a partner? Do you think relationships between people with a large age difference can work? Why?
