Demi Moore
In 2003, Ashton Kutcher was still playing Michael Kelso in the hit series 'That '70s Show' when he met 'Ghost' star Demi Moore. The 16-year age difference made little difference to the fact that Kutcher, then 25, and Moore, 41, began dating and eventually married in 2005, after two years of dating. In 2009, Demi spoke about the constant attention she received for her relationship to W magazine. She said: "I’m certainly not the first person to be in a relationship with a younger man, but somehow I was plucked out as a bit of a poster girl. I don’t know why that is. But I just kind of step back sometimes and say, ‘There is some reason, and what is it that I have to share in a positive way?” The couple eventually divorced in 2013.©BANG Showbiz - 3/11
Jennifer Lopez
Before marrying Ben Affleck in 2022, J.Lo dated Alex Rodriguez, six years her junior. She was also in a relationship with her back-up dancer Casper Smart, who was 18 years younger then her! Lopez, 53, gave an interview to Ellen DeGeneres in which she talked about dating "younger men". When the host said that "people make a big deal" about it, Jennifer replied: "Okay, first of all, stop. It's not like you have to be younger, it's not about that. I just meet people, and if I go out with them, I go out with them, and if I like them, I like them, and if I don't, I don't. It's just about the person. It's about who they are. It has nothing to do with age."©BANG Showbiz - 4/11

Miranda Kerr
When Australian model Miranda Kerr, 39, met Snapchat founder Evan Spiegel, 32, back in 2015, she thought the seven-year age difference was so great, it would be impossible for them to have a serious relationship. In an interview with British newspaper The Times in 2017, the catwalk star said: “I was like, ‘He’s cute … but he’s way too young to take seriously’. It was slow and steady. I was like, ‘Is he even interested?’ But once I let him know I was interested, he was very interested.” Miranda - who is now married to Evan and shares two children with him - insists Evan is very mature for his age. She said: "He acts like he’s 50. He’s not out partying. He goes to work in Venice [Beach In L.A.]. He comes home. We don’t go out. We’d rather be at home and have dinner, go to bed early."©BANG Showbiz - 6/11
