Well, going the other way, Celine Dion and her late husband had a bigger age gap and from the outside, they looked like they were really happy.

LOL. You are saying a 65 year old woman is passing for 40??? Okay, I want to see photos.


Well, when she's not recovering from her broken hip, that is.

My Dad is 64 and recently he broke off a relationship with a 40 year old who is really beautiful. He said that the cultural and interest divide was so big that he just couldn’t really connect with her. I think his guy friends were very disappointed. I wasn’t because I’m 35 and he never understood my Hanson crush! My husband was really impressed that my “old man” could score such a hot woman.

Yeah way to much. I’m mid 30s woman and would not cinder a guy in his 60s. No way. He is using her for something else.

I can't even think of any celebrity or model that could pull this off.

NP. Just me, but I would never marry a man without a job. She has her investment properties. HER properties.

It depends on the personalities involved. If you're low-maintenance like I am, then it doesn't matter.

If you are judgemental, ask yourselves why you feel that way. You say that she looks younger than her age and I think that helps a lot. He may not want to be with someone who has children or would want them so maybe this age difference works for them. I am childfree by choice and my DH doesn't want any more children so it worked out for us that we have each other.


Holy sh@t.

My parents had us at 23, 25 and 28.

34 YEAR gap ?!

The have been together a decade and he stayed by her side when she was sick and bedridden. It sounds like a real relationship. She could live another twenty years easily, by which time they would have been together 30 years.
