14 Eyebrow-Arching Celebrity Relationship Age Gaps

Relationship age gaps are nothing new. In fact, they've become quite common in recent years. There are a number of reasons why couples opt for a significant age gap, including the desire for a different perspective or life experience or simply because they're attracted to someone who is older or younger than they are. However, there can be challenges associated with relationships that have a large age gap. For example, different levels of maturity can be an issue, and there may be differing expectations in terms of lifestyle and future goals. Nevertheless, many couples are able to overcome these challenges and enjoy a happy and fulfilling relationship despite their age difference. So, if you're considering an age gap relationship, don't let the naysayers deter you. With some effort and understanding, it can definitely work out.

Celebrity age gaps have always existed. It's easy to say, "Hey, it was a different time," but Jerry Lee Lewis was canceled for years over his marriage with an underage girl in 1957. That same treatment wasn't given to R. Kelly when he married 15-year-old Aaliyah in 1994, which could have helped to alleviate the power he wielded over other young girls. Age is just a number, but sometimes a very important one…like when you're very young, and there's a power imbalance. Here are some celebrities who ignored that…
