Katherine McPhee is a singer-songwriter and actress who became famous as a runner-up on American Idol. Meanwhile, David Foster is a record producer. He's produced major debut albums for Josh Groban (2001), Michael Bublé (2003), and Renee Olstead (2004), among others. After years of producing, however, he's getting ready for retirement.
McPhee and Foster met back in 2006, but their relationship was mostly platonic until the two started dating in around 2017. The couple, 34 years apart in age, were engaged during a trip to Italy in July 2018. The following year, in June, the two had a beautiful ceremony in London. This is Foster’s fifth marriage, while it’s only McPhee’s second.
Long before he became a major star, George Clooney was married back in 1989 and divorced in 1993. After jumping from woman to woman, it was speculated by some that the actor would never settle down again. Well, that turned out to be incorrect when he met Amal Alamuddin. Fans were surprised when they announced their engagement in 2014.
Amal Alamuddin was a British-Lebanese human rights lawyer, and undoubtedly they bonded over their shared interest in humanitarian efforts. After getting married in 2014, Amal Alamuddin and George Clooney had two children together in 2017, a set of twins - a daughter named Ella, and a son, Alexander. And let's not forget the dog they adopted in 2015!
Stewart, an actor, and Ozell, a musician, are 39 years apart in age and have been married since 2013. While the couple is happy, it doesn’t come without struggles. Stewart has gone on record to say that it’s weird his “father-in-law is five years younger than me... but calls me son.”
And make no mistake, it's taken quite some time for Stewart to find his true love. Patrick Stewart met his first wife, Sheila Falconer, in 1966, and they stayed together until 1990. They had a son and a daughter. He later married Wendy Neuss in 2000, but they divorced three years later. Before he began dating Sunny Ozell, he dated Lisa Dillon who was nearly 50 years younger than him!
Paulson and Taylor, with a 32-year age difference between them, are still pretty tech-savvy. They had met at a party in 2005, but the pair only began dating after exchanging Twitter direct messages a decade later. Taylor first spoke of the relationship on WNYC's Death, S*x & Money podcast, noting that she was in a relationship with someone much younger.
Since they got together, Paulson and Taylor made LGBTQ relationships more prominent in Hollywood. While the two actors have not yet tied the knot, their relationship seems to be going well regardless. Currently, it is unknown whether they ever plan to marry. But if they haven't after nearly 15 years together, it's probably far from their mind.
The famous Jerry Seinfeld married someone 17 years his junior. He had just finished Seinfeld the year before and evidently was ready to settle down. The couple has proven that age is just a number since they’ve been married since 1999 and have been happy the whole way. They now have three children together.
While we've certainly seen age gaps much larger, it was still a surprise at the time. Nevertheless, Seinfeld received had received even worse scrutiny when he dated Shoshanna Lonstein in 1993. She was just a child, having just turned 18 that May when they started dating - he was 38. They dated for four years.
Action star Statham and model-turned-actor Huntington-Whiteley have been engaged since 2016. They are just two months shy of being 20 years apart in age. Statham and Whiteley had met while filming Transformers in 2010, meaning they’ve been together for nearly a decade. Apparently, nothing brings people together quite like Autobots.
Jason Statham and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley had a son in June 2017 and, later, a daughter in 2022. It is said that they are currently residing in Beverly Hills, California. Despite settling down with a family, Statham enjoys an active lifestyle, not only in film but away from the camera, too - engaging in wakeboarding, jet skiing, and rock climbing, among other things.
Before he met Anna Eberstein, Hugh Grant's longest relationship was with Elizabeth Hurley from 1987 to 2000.

He then went back to Hong briefly, had a child with her, and then had a second child with Anna Eberstein.

Solange Knowles and her husband, Alan Ferguson, were married in November of 2014 during a styling New Orleans ceremony. They are 22 years apart in age. The two prefer to stay out of the spotlight, but occasionally they’re spotted around Los Angeles. That being said, we could have only guessed that these two lovebirds were as happy as can be.
But it turns out that there might not be peace in the valley after all, as the two have been separated since 2019. Whether they will get back together is anyone's guess, but it doesn't seem likely at this point. But when it comes to Hollywood, you never really know.
