40 Celebrity Couples With Major Age Gaps

There’s a rule that you should never date somebody who’s less than half your age plus seven, but some celebs clearly didn’t get the memo! These famous couples have large — sometimes enormous — age gaps between them, but they’ve made their relationships work all the same.

1. Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo — 9 years

Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine has nearly a decade on his Victoria’s Secret model wife. But that certainly hasn’t stopped them! The pair started dating in 2012, married in 2014, and now have two daughters together. Aww...

2. Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade — 9 years

Can we call Gabrielle Union a cougar? After all, she is nine years older than her husband Dwyane Wade. That’s right — even though Union seems as if she’s barely aged a day since she appeared in Bring It On!

3. Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively — 10 years

Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively could be one of the internet’s favorite couples, but we bet not every fan knows about their age gap! Lively is the younger one of the two — ten years younger, to be exact. And the pair met on the set of Reynolds’ flop superhero movie Green Lantern, meaning something good did come out of that after all.

4. Beyoncé and Jay-Z — 11 years

There’s an 11-year age gap between Beyoncé and her rapper husband. But Jay — the elder of the two — knows just how lucky he is to be with Queen Bey. And more than a decade of marriage and three kids later, the couple still seem, well, crazy in love.
