40+ Celebrity Couples Who Refuse To Listen To Stereotypes And Public Opinion

Hugh Jackman And Deborra-Lee Furness

Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness met on the set of the Australian TV drama Correlli in 1995 and fell in love instantly, marrying in 1996. While the pair have been happily married for 25 years, their relationship has some detractors. Furness is 13 years older than Jackman, thus they married when he was 27 and she was 40. Nonetheless, this celebrity couple has never let public criticism get in their way, and they are still happily married with two adopted children to this day.

Joe Jonas And Sophie Turner

Joe Jonas of the Jonas Brothers and Sophie Turner of Game of Thrones have an unconventional love. The pair met in 2016, went public with their romance just a few months after they were first photographed together, and married in 2019. Soon after, the public began to make comments about this celebrity pair. The public was eager to point out that Turner was taller than Jonas on red carpets and in paparazzi shots. Turner hasn’t let these remarks bother her, as she continues to wear high heels whether or not Joe is there.

Nicole Kidman And Keith Urban

This celebrity pair met despite being in completely different businesses. When the pair met in 2005 at the G’Day USA Gala, they said it was love at first sight. They were married in Australia in 2006. People have been quick to comment on Kidman’s height, despite the fact that they are completely in love. Although it’s not obvious, Kidman is taller than Urban in paparazzi and red carpet images. Kidman still wears fantastic high heels to any premium function, and the pair doesn’t seem to mind.

Emmanuel Macron And Brigette Macron

Because of the age difference between him and his wife, French President Emmanuel Macron suffered a lot of criticism during his presidential campaign. People were concerned not only about their age difference but also about how they met. Macron met Brigette, his wife, while she was his drama teacher. Macron was only 15 at the time, and the couple had a 25-year age difference. Despite the criticism, the couple has never allowed anything to get in their way. Macron became the stepfather to her three children after they married in 2007.

Cameron Diaz And Benji Madden

Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden acknowledged their relationship in 2014, and they appeared to be an odd couple to many. Only a few months later, it was revealed that the pair had married in January 2015 at Diaz’s house. They announced the birth of their baby girl in January 2020. Diaz and Madden are an unorthodox celebrity couple who do not conform to stereotypes. Diaz is not only taller than her beau, but they also married just a few months after meeting. However, some people simply know when they’ve met the one!

Leonardo DiCaprio And Camila Morrone

Leonardo DiCaprio has had one of the most successful acting careers in Hollywood and has also dated some well-known women. DiCaprio was pictured with Camila Morrone, a 20-year-old supermodel, in 2017. The couple is very quiet, with only a few public appearances over their partnership. DiCaprio and Morrone are frequently chastised for their 22-year age difference. They, however, do not let it impact their relationship. Morrone stated in 2019 in The Los Angeles Times, “I just think anyone should be able to date who they want to date.” We wholeheartedly concur!

Simon Cowell And Lauren Silverman

Simon Cowell is well-known for speaking exactly what is on his mind. However, when it comes to his personal life, he keeps his mouth shut. It’s most likely due to the contentious nature of his relationship with Lauren Silverman. Despite being married to another man, Cowell reportedly began dating Silverman in 2009. When Lauren became pregnant in 2013, they were compelled to go public, which resulted in a bitter divorce. Despite an unusual start to the relationship, the family is still strong today.

Steven Tyler And Aimee Preston

Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler probably didn’t want to miss anything with Aimee Preston, his former personal assistant who eventually became his long-term partner. The couple initially went out together in 2014, and two years later they moved in together in Nashville. The couple has received a lot of criticism because Preston is over 40 years younger than Tyler. They haven’t let this deter them, and have been dating for seven years. Preston is known to be friendly with Tyler’s children her age.

Nicolas Sarkozy And Carla Bruni

Nicolas Sarkozy, former French President, is no stranger to the spotlight. Sarkozy was elected president for the first time in 2007 and governed until 2012. He had already been married twice, but it was the third time fortunate for him when he met his present wife, Carla Bruni, a former model and musician. The pair met in November of 2007 and married four months later. Carla not only defies convention by openly saying that she prefers polygamy to monogamy, but she’s also five inches taller.

Goldie Hawn And Kurt Russell

People don’t always need to go down the aisle to express their love for one another. Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell never felt the need to exchange vows, so they didn’t. They have been married for nearly 40 years and have four children from prior marriages. Hawn and Russell first met in 1966 but did not collaborate until 1983, when they were filming Swing Shift. They just demonstrate that you don’t necessarily need a ring to have a happy and successful relationship!

Harrison Ford And Calista Flockhart

Many people were surprised when Star Wars actor Harrison Ford began dating fellow actress Calista Flockhart in 2002. Not only because Indiana Jones had finally settled down, but also because Ford is 22 years older than his spouse. Flockhart and Ford initially met at the 2002 Golden Globes after Flockhart ‘accidentally’ spilled her drink on Ford. Fortunately for her, her strategy paid off, and the couple married in June 2009 after seven years together. They have built a good friendship by disregarding their critics.

Jerry And Jessica Seinfeld

Jerry Seinfeld’s story of how he met his wife isn’t the most conventional. It even drew some criticism from the general people. Fortunately, this celebrity pair has been able to ignore popular judgment and continue to live a happy life together. Jerry and Jessica met in 1998 in a Reebok gym in Manhattan. Seinfeld had no idea that his future bride had just married her first spouse two months before. They began dating, and following her divorce, they married privately in December 1999.

Bruce Willis And Emma Heming Willis

It takes a lot of faith to keep your partner’s ex in the picture, but Bruce Willis and his wife, Emma Heming Willis, don’t seem to mind. Bruce previously married Demi Moore for 13 years before their divorce in 2003. Willis met Emma seven years later, and the rest is history. Despite their 23-year age difference, the pair is overjoyed. Willis, Heming, and Moore are believed to get along so well that Moore moved in during quarantine!

Enrique Iglesias And Anna Kournikova

It’s unusual for a celebrity couple to keep their relationship so private. Enrique and former Russian professional tennis player Anna Kournikova have kept their love and family life private since meeting on the set of Iglesias’ song video “Escape,” Nobody knows what happened to the couple between 2006 and 2012, as Iglesias likes to joke about “divorcing” Kournikova despite the fact that they never married during their 20-year relationship. They’ve posted photos of their three children on Instagram, but no wedding pics!

Prince Harry And Meghan Markle

This is one couple who has demonstrated that they don’t care what the public thinks and will do whatever makes them happy. Meghan Markle was put up on a blind date with Prince Harry in 2016, and they got engaged the following year! After a barrage of vitriol and taunting from tabloids and internet critics, the pair chose to step down from royal duties in 2019. By 2020, the pair proclaimed their decision to leave the royal family in order to focus on their own expanding family.

David Tennant And Georgia Moffett

The way this couple met is strange and full of coincidences. Peter Davison, Moffett’s father, played the fifth version of the Doctor in Doctor Who. Her spouse, David Tennant, was the Doctor’s eleventh incarnation! Moffett appeared as a guest star on the show in 2008, when she met Tennant. However, Moffett’s character in the show was “The Doctor’s Daughter,” which, when you think about it, is a little Freudian in nature! The couple has a 14-year age difference, but it hasn’t stopped them from having five gorgeous children.

Pharrell And Helen Lasichanh

Pharrell’s signature accessory is, of course, his enormous hats, which he wears practically everywhere. However, it’s possible that he’s just trying to close the two-inch gap between himself and his wife. Pharrell is 5’9″ — whereas his wife, Helen Lasichanh, stands at 5’11”. They started dating in 2007 and had their first kid together in 2008. When the couple married in 2013, their height difference had no effect on how they felt about one other. This celebrity couple has remained rather quiet since the birth of triplets in early 2017.

Gwendoline Christie And Giles Deacon

Gwendoline Christie, who plays Brienne of Tarth on Game of Thrones, is just as cool in real life as she is on the show. She is an outspoken feminist, and philanthropist, and has excellent fashion sense. This could be owing to her relationship with British fashion designer Giles Deacon. The actress and the designer, who designed Pippa Middleton’s wedding gown, have been dating since 2013. Despite their significant height disparity, Deacon takes advantage of it and refers to Christie as his “muse.”

George And Amal Clooney

When it was announced in 2014 that Hollywood’s favorite bachelor was no longer on the market, hearts broke all around the world. After meeting the barrister at a fundraiser in 2013, the two hit it off and married after just over a year of dating. The public was apprehensive about how long their romance would last, owing to their 17-year age difference. The Clooneys, on the other hand, have proved that they’ve never been happier, and even welcomed twins into the world in 2017. Their connection demonstrates that love triumphs over all!

Chris Pratt And Katherine Schwarzenegger

Rapid engagements appear to be popular right now. Celebrity couples are frequently married within a few months of proposing. That was certainly the case for Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger, who were engaged after only a few months of dating. Within two months of finalizing his divorce from ex-wife Anna Farris, Chris Pratt proposed to Schwarzenegger, who clearly said yes! While others may think it’s strange that they got engaged so quickly, sometimes people just know when they’ve found the one!

Michael Douglas And Catherine Zeta-Jones

Catherine Zeta-Jones has appeared in rom-com before, including No Reservations and The Rebound, but she was most likely inspired to be loved up after meeting the love of her life. In 1998, she met her future husband, veteran actor Michael Douglas, who declared that he knew they would have a future together. The celebrity pair have never allowed their 25-year age difference to bother them. Since 1999, the couple has been blissfully married. Despite the fact that Douglas is the same age as Zeta-Jones’ parents, they claim they never questioned the age difference.

Jeff Goldblum And Emilie Livingston

Despite having been married twice before, Jeff Goldblum says he was completely smitten with his current wife, former Olympic gymnast Emilie Livingston when they met at the gym in 2011. Goldblum played the piano and sang for his new bride at their wedding in 2014. When word of their wedding spread, however, some were quick to point out the age gap. Goldblum is 68 years old, while his wife is 38, resulting in a 30-year age gap. They haven’t let this deter them and have subsequently welcomed two children.

Prince Albert II And Charlene Wittstock

Many people have compared Prince Albert II, the current Head of State of Monacolove ,’s life to a soap opera. Before meeting his wife, former Olympic swimmer Charlene Wittstock, he had several affairs with high-profile women ranging from supermodels to reality TV stars. In 2000, they met while he was presiding over a swimming contest. While their 20-year age difference had never been an issue, a French tabloid stated just days before their wedding that Wittstock had made numerous efforts to flee after learning a few facts about her prospective husband. Oops!

Mark Zuckerberg And Priscilla Chan

Long before the development of Facebook and the accompanying billions, Mark Zuckerberg and his now-wife Priscilla Chan began dating after meeting in a party toilet queue. They moved in together in 2010 after seven years of dating-and married in a surprise ceremony in their backyard. Zuckerberg and Chan prefer to keep things simple and personal. Despite owning a social networking site, Zuckerberg rarely publishes about his family. They don’t flaunt their affluence in their apparel, preferring to keep it simple and understated.

Claudia Schiffer And Matthew Vaughn

Claudia Schiffer revealed after marrying her ideal man in May 2002 that her spouse was all she had ever wanted in a man and that he swept her off her feet. Matthew Vaughn, a film producer, has been juggling work and family obligations. Although it isn’t visible in candid photos, there is a considerable height gap between the celebrity couple on red carpets. While Schiffer is only one inch taller than Vaughn, there are photos of her leaning down to kiss him.

Heidi Klum And Tom Kaulitz

Some couples will declare it was love at first sight, and this next celebrity pair shares that sentiment. Tokio Hotel singer Tom Kaulitz proposed to Project Runway graduate Heidi Klum in 2018 after about nine months of dating. They married in a private ceremony two months later. While Klum is 17 years older than her husband and is frequently asked about it, she doesn’t dwell on it. They even held a second wedding, except this time it was in Capri, Italy!

Nikki Reed And Ian Somerhalder

Some people simply know when they want to marry! The time it may be customary to wait a while before getting engaged and subsequently married, actors Nikki Reed and Ian Somerhalder chose a more hurried approach to their relationship. The couple announced their relationship in July 2014, then six months later, in January 2015, they announced their engagement. They married in April of 2015 and took a long honeymoon in Mexico and Brazil. They’re still going strong today, and they’ve even added another member to their family!

Sarah Paulson And Holland Taylor

This is not an episode of American Horror Story! Sarah Paulson and Holland Taylor, both Hollywood actresses, have been dating for six years, but their love story is anything from ordinary. They originally met in 2005 while both dating different people. They wouldn’t start dating for another decade. People were critical of their relationship when it initially became public in 2015, owing to their 32-year age difference. In an interview with Insider, Paulson discussed their age difference, noting that there is a “greater appreciation of time and what you have together.”

Justin Bieber And Hailey Baldwin

Many individuals, both fans and the broader public were taken aback by this celebrity coupling. Justin Bieber met his future wife, Hailey Baldwin when she was 12 years old at a fan event. They first hooked involved in 2016 after multiple family vacations, but things rapidly fizzled out. After a brief rekindling of an old flame, Bieber and Baldwin were back together and engaged barely two months later, in July 2018. Three months later, they married in a private ceremony in New York.

Lisa Bonet And Jason Momoa

Never meet your favorite celebrity or celebrity crush, they say. However, in the instance of Jason Momoa, everything worked out! In 2013, Momoa ran across his boyhood celebrity infatuation, Lisa Bonet, at a jazz club. Following that, they began dating and eventually married in 2017. They have two children together and have a great connection with Bonet’s ex-husband, Lenny Kravitz. People are still critical of their relationship. The pair are 13 years apart in age, with Bonet being 53 and Momoa being 41. However, the couple appears to be content, so others should leave them alone!

Matthew McConaughey And Camila Alves

Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves’ love tale begins like most others. In 2006, McConaughey first noticed Alves in a Los Angeles bar. Despite the fact that Alves did not say yes right away, they planned to have two children before getting engaged in 2011. While the two have a 12-year age difference, their relationship appears mild in comparison to some other Hollywood relationships. Their marriage has survived all of the ups and downs of family and job balancing, so we’d say they’re still going strong.

Alec And Hilaria Baldwin

Alec and Hilaria Baldwin’s relationship began more conventionally, after a chance meeting in a New York restaurant in 2011. The pair knew they wanted to date six weeks before they kissed on the first date, and they moved in together just a few months later. The pair has had six children together since they began dating ten years ago. Many, however, have criticized their 26-year age difference. Both have never let their age gap stand in the way of their happiness, and they continue to flaunt their lives on social media.

David Cross And Amber Tamblyn

Actors David Cross and Amber Tamblyn fell in love despite their nearly 20-year age difference. They’d seen one other in Los Angeles and at various award presentations, but it wasn’t until they were on the same flight from Houston to Louisiana that they began to connect. While some may find it strange, Cross and Tamblyn have actually laughed about their large age difference with each other, so they don’t find it strange. Cross and Tamblyn married 14 years after they first met and have subsequently welcomed a kid together.

Sylvester Stallone And Jennifer Flavin

A significant age gap appears to be the standard for many celebrity couples, but this couple has never let their age difference come between them.

While Murphy and Butcher have kept their relationship covert, they have revealed that they have two children together, one born in 2016 and the other in 2018. Their 19-year age difference doesn’t seem to bother them.

Aaron And Sam Taylor-Johnson

What is a Hollywood romance without a little squabble? On the set of Nowhere Boy in 2008, 18-year-old Aaron Taylor-Johnson met 42-year-old Sam Taylor-Wood. They did, however, wait a few months until Taylor-divorce Wood’s was finalized before they began dating. The pair married after four years of dating. There have been millions of Aaron Taylor-Johnson followers on Twitter and TikTok begging him to divorce his older wife, but it’s clear that neither of them plans to divorce any time soon.

Amy Schumer And Chris Fischer

This whirlwind romance grabbed the globe by storm, especially given that this celebrity pair had kept their connection private.

Four days after the couple revealed their romance, Schumer disclosed that they had married in a secret, modest California ceremony with only three days’ notice to her guests.

Ashton Kutcher And Mila Kunis

It took 14 years for Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis to start dating, but once they did, they knew they were soulmates. Kutcher and Kunis originally met as co-stars on That ’70s Show in 1998. Kunis was only 14 years old at the time, but the executives were so taken with her talent that she stayed. The couple reconnected at the Golden Globes seven years after Kutcher departed That ’70s Show, and the rest is history. Their partnership simply demonstrates that the proper person will appear when you are ready!

Tina Turner And Edwin Bach

Tina Turner is one of the most famous musicians of all time, but the story of how she met her current husband, Edwin Bach, is even more famous.

Turner has stated in interviews that Bach is younger, despite the couple’s 16-year age difference. Despite being together since the 1980s, the couple only married in 2013 at a spectacular event in Switzerland!

Billy Joel And Alexis Roderick

While Billy Joel is frequently credited with writing songs about love and relationships, the singer has been divorced three times. Things have since improved for the “Piano Man” singer, who married his fourth wife, Alexis Roderick, in a surprise ceremony in 2015. Despite the fact that Joel is 33 years older than his current wife, the couple has never let their age difference get in the way of their love. People around them appear to think they have something special, with Joel’s daughter, Alexa Ray, congratulating the pair on her Instagram page.

Tasha McCauley And Joseph Gordon-Levitt

While some celebrities socialize with other celebrities, others seem unconcerned. One of them is actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who is married to a scientist. While it is common for actors to date actresses or models, this is not the case in this instance. In 2014, the actor married Tasha McCauley. She holds an MBA, and a robotics degree, and is the CEO of GeoSim Systems. She’s also uninterested in show business. “She really doesn’t want to be a part of it,” Gordon-Levitt has stated.

Harry Styles And Olivia Wilde

When it comes to couples with age disparities, there is always some debate. This is especially true when an older lady is dating a younger man. Former One Direction member Harry Styles has made headlines for some of his previous relationships. He dated 31-year-old TV broadcaster Caroline Flack in 2011, while he was only 17 years old. Harry is currently dating American actress Olivia Wilde. She’s a decade her senior to the English singer, but it doesn’t appear to worry them.

David Foster & Katharine McPhee

The former American Idol finalist and the producer are 34 years apart in age.

Kim Kardashian And Pete Davidson

People were surprised when Kimye called it quits on their marriage. Was this really happening? Will they rekindle their romance? Will they rekindle their romance? Kanye has been spotted with 22-year-old model Vinetria, and Kimmy has also moved on. Surprisingly, Kardashian appears to be dating comedian Pete Davidson. While the celebrity may not be her typical type, he has dated a number of other renowned women. Pete has previously dated Ariana Grande, Kaia Gerber, and Kate Beckinsale.

Mo’Nique And Sidney Hicks

People in love partnerships are generally expected to be monogamous. However, this is not always the case. In truth, a number of celebrities are in unusual partnerships. They aren’t concerned with standard husband and wife roles, only with what works for them. Mo’Nique, the actress, has disclosed that she and her husband, Sidney Hicks, have an agreement within their marriage. The pair is always honest, and being with another person isn’t a deal-breaker. “We’re very honest,” she says. There are no hidden agendas.”

Arie Luyendyk Jr. And Lauren Burnham

The love story of Arie Luyendyk Jr. and Lauren Burnham is truly amazing. In 2017, Arie, a Dutch-American auto racing driver, was cast in The Bachelor. He eventually proposed to Becca Kufrin, but then changed his mind and pursued the runner-up, Lauren Burnham. Amazingly, these two married in 2019 and have three children together.

Tom Ackerley And Margot Robbie

Margot Robbie, the actress, is married. We certainly didn’t! While some celebrities are quite vocal about their relationships, others are very private. The Australian actress keeps her marriage quiet and rarely posts photos of herself with her husband. Margot Robbie and her husband, Tom Ackerley, were initially roommates. She met the British assistant director in 2013 and relocated to London with him and several others. They eventually began dating. In 2016, the couple married in a surprise wedding.

Nico Tortorella And Bethany C. Meyers

Nico Tortorella and Bethany C. Myers are at the forefront of breaking stereotypes. The actor and his wife, Bethany C. Meyers, have been married for almost a decade. They stated in 2017 that they were in a queer polyamorous relationship. Following their announcement, Nico and Bethany’s families both declined their invitations to Thanksgiving dinner. Regardless, they went about their business as normal. In a video with drag queen Trinity the Tuck, they have since come out as gender-fluid.

Heidi Montag And Spencer Pratt

Listen, if Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt cared what people thought of them, they would have vanished long ago. Speidi thrive on public disfavor; they thrive on controversy. Heidi and Spencer initially starred on the MTV reality show The Hills. Heidi ended up choosing Spencer over her best friend Lauren Conrad, therefore ending their friendship. The couple has been married since 2008. Gunner Stone, their son, was born in 2017.

Bob Saget And Kelly Rizzo

Another celebrity couple who isn’t afraid to flout norms. While dating someone your own age may be more conventional, relationships with age gaps are rather prevalent in Hollywood. In 2018, comedian and actor Bob Saget married his second wife, Kelly Rizzo. The couple has a 23-year age difference. According to reports, the star entered culinary blogger Kelly’s Instagram DMs. “I don’t really see him as Danny Tanner,” she has stated. Bobby, my love, is all he is to me.”

Emily Ratajkowski And Sebastian Bear McClard

While some people are concerned about what others think of them, Emily Ratajkowski is not one of them. After only a few weeks of dating, the actress married her partner. In 2018, the stunning beauty married film producer Sebastian Bear McClard. They exchanged vows in a New York City courtroom. Emily and Sebastian like to keep their relationship quiet, which has served them well thus far. Sylvester, the couple’s kid, was born in 2021.

Joshua Jackson And Jodie Turner-Smith

Similarly, actor Joshua Jackson and actress Jodie Turner-Smith kept their romance private. While some celebrities seek recognition for their A-list hook-ups, others choose to remain anonymous. Joshua and Jodie were married without many people knowing they were dating. This intercontinental couple allegedly met during Usher’s 40th birthday party in 2018. They married in 2019 and had a daughter the following year. These two aren’t looking for public approval, only love.

Kevin Costner And Christine Baumgartner

Things can get complicated when it comes to second marriages. What if one of the partners already has children? What if they’re not interested in more? That is precisely what happened with actor Kevin Costner and his second wife, model Christine Baumgartner. The pair allegedly split up before getting married because Kevin already had four children and didn’t want any more. Kevin is now the delighted father of seven children. Three of them are with Christine, his 20-year-old sister.

Gwyneth Paltrow And Brad Falchuk

Would you be surprised to find that Gwyneth Paltrow, the founder of Goop, is a touch eccentric? It was rumored that the actress and Coldplay vocalist Chris Martin had an open relationship when she was married. But what about her present relationship with writer/director Brad Falchuk? While the pair now lives together, they did not always. Gwyneth admitted that she did not live with her spouse when they first married. Instead, they committed to each other four days a week despite living in separate homes.

Zach Braff And Florence Pugh

Our next celebrity pair have had their fair share of dealing with public perception. The age difference between Zach Braff and Florence Pugh is 21 years, which has raised some questions. “I am 24 years old,” the English actress responded on Instagram. I don’t need you telling me who I should and shouldn’t love.” This couple met on the set of Zach’s film Florence. They’ve been dating since 2019. However, they have yet to walk the red carpet together.

Dolly Parton And Carl Dean

Dolly Parton’s romance has to be among the most unusual celebrity relationships. Since 1966, the country singer and actress has been married to her husband Carl Dean. That’s over 50 years of marriage! Carl Dean, unlike other renowned husbands, does not accompany his wonderful wife to any entertainment events. In reality, he is rarely seen. Despite this, the pair is very happy in their marriage. While Dolly performs under her maiden name, her passport reads Dolly Parton Dean.

Taylor Swift And Joe Alwyn

Taylor Swift, the next country star in line, is a singer-songwriter. Tay, like Dolly Parton, has kept her most recent relationship discreet. While she’s known for singing songs about her famous ex-boyfriends (RIP Jake Gyllenhaal), the singer has kept her relationship with boyfriend Joe Alwyn low-key. Taylor has been dating English actor Joe since 2016. He’s co-written a number of her songs and even won a Grammy for his efforts. Perhaps T-key Swift’s to happiness is concealment.

Ken Jeong And Tran Ho

Our next couple, like the others we’ve met thus far, is half celebrity and half regular person. Ken Jeong, an actor, has always existed in two worlds. On the one hand, he aspired to be an actor and studied for it in college. On the other hand, he earned a medical degree and became a licensed physician. Impressive! Ken Jeong is now well-known as an actor, comedian, and TV host. He met his wife Tran Ho at a single physicians’ happy hour.

Will Smith And Jada Pinkett Smith

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith have officially admitted to having an open marriage after years of conjecture and suspicions. The pair married in 1997 and have two children, Willow and Jaden. Will Smith stated, “Monogamy was what we chose for the most of our partnership […] We have given each other trust and independence, believing that everyone must pursue their own path.” “Marriage cannot be a prison for us,” the celebrity concluded.

Phoebe Waller-Bridge And Martin McDonagh

Celebrity relationships, according to English writer and actress Phoebe Waller-Bridge, do not have to conform to stereotypes. For one thing, they don’t have to be broadcast to the entire world or divulged in magazine interviews. Furthermore, the couples do not have to be the same age. Does this sound familiar? Since 2018, the multi-award-winning actress has been dating British playwright and screenwriter Martin McDonagh. The couple has a 15-year age difference, and Waller-Bridge avoids public discussion of their relationship. It appears to be another low-key love story.

Dennis Quaid & Laura Savoie

When it comes to age differences, our next one is quite substantial. When actor Dennis Quaid married for the fourth time, he was unconcerned about public opinion. In 2019, the actor proposed to his now-wife, Ph.D. candidate Laura Savoie. The couple has a 39-year age difference. “I didn’t go out looking for an age gap or someone really younger than me,” the actor has said. I met her at a work event, and the friendship grew from there.”

Emma Roberts And Garrett Hedlund

Emma Roberts and Garrett Hedlund were both in high-profile romances prior to their relationship. Perhaps this is why they choose to keep their personal relationship quiet. Actress Emma was in a relationship with actor Evan Peters, and actor Garret was in a relationship with actress Kirsten Dunst. They married in 2019 and had their son a year later. Emma Roberts and Garrett Hedlund are unmarried, contrary to popular belief regarding parenthood and family life. Without wedding rings on their fingers, the couple is raising their son, Rhodes Robert Hedlund.

Sacha Baron Cohen And Isla Fisher

It’s reasonable to say that the Hollywood marriage cliche is that they endure approximately two minutes. Most prominent actors, artists, and athletes have been married more than once. Many people have had more than two! So, having a long-lasting union amongst all of this is just fantastic. English comedian Sacha Baron Cohen and Australian actress Isla Fisher have been married for nearly 20 years. They met in 2002 and were married in a Jewish ceremony in 2010.

Ellen Pompeo And Chris Ivery

Ellen Pompeo was in the grocery store once upon a time. She happened to fall in love with a lovely gentleman, and they eventually lived happily ever after. Ellen and Chris Ivery both hailed from Boston, but they didn’t meet until they were both living in Los Angeles. Ellen Pompeo and her husband are not only from different backgrounds, but they are also quite private. They married in 2007 at New York City Hall and have kept their romance private.

Julia Roberts And Danny Moder

There appears to be excellent news for ordinary people everywhere: superstars may marry us! As we’ve seen, there are a slew of celebrities who are married or in relationships with everyday people. They’re with people who aren’t usually seen on a red carpet or being chauffeured. Julia Roberts met her husband Danny Moder while working as a camera operator. In 2002, the couple married. The couple now has three children together.

Kris Jenner And Corey Gamble

It’s pretty common to see older males with young women on their arms in Hollywood. However, older women with younger guys on theirs are less common. With a few exceptions, that is (shout out to Madonna). Kris Jenner, the matriarch of the Kardashian-Jenner family, has had a number of high-profile partnerships. She was previously married to Olympian Caitlyn Jenner and subsequently to Robert Kardashian Sr. She has been in a relationship with Corey Gamble since 2014. There is a time difference of 25 years between the two.

Jon Bon Jovi And Dorothea Hurley

Being a womanizer would undoubtedly be on the list of stereotypes about rock stars if we were to make one. Rockers of many genres have had multiple marriages. And numerous of older rock musicians continue to date stunning ladies in their twenties. However, not Jon Bon Jovi! For decades, the American singer-songwriter has been married to his high school sweetheart. The couple married in Las Vegas in 1989, during one of the singer’s tours.

Lily Allen And David Harbour

We’re still stunned that English singer Lily Allen is married to American actor David Harbour. When did that occur? The two first began dating in 2019. A year later, they were married in Las Vegas by an Elvis impersonator. Fun! Lily and David are a very private couple in addition to being an unexpected celebrity couple. Instead of a big public wedding, they had a quiet ceremony when the rest of the world was on lockdown.

Suki Waterhouse And Robert Pattinson

If you were as plagued by fans as actor Robert Pattinson is, you’d keep your romances private as well. The English actor’s romance with co-star Kristen Stewart was widely publicized. This time, it appears that Robert Pattinson is defying public opinion and doing what he wants. Since 2018, Robert Pattinson has been dating English actress and model Suki Waterhouse. Surprisingly, the couple is said to have double-dated with Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn. We require an invitation!

Mary Cosby And Robert Cosby Sr.

Mary Cosby’s relationship is without a doubt the most unorthodox and stereotype-defying on our list. Indeed, we believe it would be unlawful in certain parts of the world. Pastor Mary Cosby is a Real Wives of Salt Lake City cast member who is married to her grandfather. More specifically, when Mary Cosby’s grandmother died, she left her church, her lands, and her husband to Mary. As a result, the reality star married her step-grandfather.

Rose Byrne And Bobby Cannavale

This next celebrity pair has been together since 2012, yet although referring to each other as husband and wife, they have not yet married. Rose Byrne and Bobby Cannavale met on the set of Annie and have been in a relationship ever since. Despite the fact that they are in love and have two children together, they have no intentions to marry. Despite the fact that they are not officially married, they wear rings and bands on their ring fingers. They’re totally content to forego the usual path of marriage!

Ryan Gosling And Eva Mendes

Despite being two of the most recognized actors in the world, the paparazzi can’t manage to track down Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes. They’re so discreet that it’s difficult to pinpoint when they first started dating. Despite being in a partnership for nearly ten years and having two children together, there has never been talking of settling down. In fact, before falling in love with Gosling, Mendes declared that she had no desire to have children.

Stephen Fry And Elliott Spencer

Perhaps it was inevitable for Stephen Fry, a comedian, and actor, to fall in love with another comedian who was already on the comedy circuit. Elliott Spencer, a fellow comedian, met Fry in 2014, and the couple married a year later. Despite their affection, their 30-year age difference has been challenged, with Fry being the same age as Elliott’s father. Elliott has spoken out against their opponents, claiming that they don’t care what others think because Stephen is the love of his life. We wish them the best of luck!

Elon Musk and Grimes

Many people assumed this next famous couple’s relationship was a prank when they originally announced it. Tesla CEO Elon Musk and singer-songwriter Grimes, on the other hand, are perfect instances of how opposites may attract. After months of romantic tweets, the couple made their first public appearance at the 2018 Met Gala. Despite their 17-year age gap and criticism that Grimes appears more like Musk’s daughter than a partner, the couple has remained together. They notably welcomed their son, X A-12, in May 2020, so they appear to be in it for the long run!

Sir Patrick Stewart And Sunny Ozell

Sir Patrick Stewart, the legendary actor, can’t go anywhere without getting a Star Trek quote or two tossed at him by a random fan or passer-by. However, he is frequently accompanied by his wife, Sunny Ozell. The couple met while Ozell was working as a waitress in New York in 2008. They married in a ceremony in Nevada in 2013. However, their connection did not please everyone. Ozell’s father was not impressed by the fact that his son-in-law was five years his senior. The couple’s 39-year age difference has no effect on their relationship, according to Ozell, who claims Stewart is “so youthful” that she doesn’t notice the difference.
