The Music Go CJ Plain came through this week to talk about a crush that spawned when he was just 13 years old. It did not matter that Patti LaBelle was a grown woman, and it still doesn’t matter that almost three decades separate him as his love and respect for the “New Attitude” singer remains. Just like me and Steve Martin. He was 42 when I was born, and I couldn’t care less about that fact. Which, his wife is 22 years his junior, so perhaps in another universe me and him could be together. Wishful thinking aside, here are some celebrity May/December crushes that turned romantical.
Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas
Nick Jonas is a ‘Tiger Beat’ legend while Priyanka Chopra is a pageant beauty and actress who had a decade head start in life. However, when it came to love, the two were so much in it – they got married a handful of times around the world. Today they’re five years in, with a little one of their own. All the while JoBros fans near and far wonder, WHY NOT ME?!
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds
Ryan Reynolds’ love life has made headlines for years, while Blake Lively has sort of been more lowkey with her ‘Gossip Girl’ fame. However, after meeting on the set of ‘Green Lantern’ in 2011 – that was it. Ironically enough, 11 years is how many years apart they are. Fast forward to today and it’s been – 11 YEARS – since they said I do. Now she’s in the headlines just as much since she’s attached to every straight man’s dream lover.
Jay-Z and Beyoncé
Not because either of them looks a particular age, but I’ve always thought Jay-Z and Beyonce were around the same age because they’ve just both been in my life for so long. In reality, Jay-Z is a dozen years older than Bey.
Matt Bomer and Simon Halls
Looking at Matt Bomer and Simon Halls, you’d never know this couple that wed back in 2011 had 13 years between them.
Hilarie Burton and Jeffrey Dean Morgan
If you don’t know, ‘TRL’ was my everything growing up so you can imagine my fascination with Hilarie Burton’s life. Just a girl in the middle of Times Square who got sent to the VMAs got a job at MTV, landed on a hit teen series, and inevitably married one of the hottest, most charismatic men 16 years her senior – that’s legendary behavior.
Josh and Kathryn Brolin
Two decades are in between Josh and Kathryn Brolin, but look at that man – would you care about his age?
Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart
Most of the world was like, WHAAAT…when ‘Ally McBeal’ star Calista Flockhart walked down the aisle to Harrison Ford, a man with 22 years on her but low and behold they are still together. Side note: I need to know how much she smokes, if at all, to keep up with her man because that man is always as high as a space shuttle.
Jeff Goldblum and Emilie Livingston
When I tell you that Jeff Goldblum could score any woman, any age, any time, any place – I mean it with my whole heart. However, he’s married to the lovely Emilie Livingston, a woman only a mere 30 years younger than him.
Sarah Paulson and Holland Taylor
Holland Taylor and Sarah Paulson are 32 years apart, but whenever you see them on the red carpet together, you never really notice their age, just their obvious love connection.
Steven Tyler and Aimee Preston
If you haven’t noticed, the age gap between these May/December crushes that turned romantical has been increasing, and with that – the icing on this cake, Steven Tyler and Aime Preston, a 39-year gap for this pair that have yet to marry.
