How many times have you seen a younger love in a couple where the man is older than the woman? Often it’s just a few years, but sometimes it can be a couple of decades or more. It happens the other way around too, but especially when there’s only a difference of two or three years. However, it’s less frequent to see a relationship between an older woman and a younger man because prejudices still abound. And how they abound!

Just think that in that kind of relationship, the woman is called a ‘cougar,’ literally a puma, but which would be better translated as an unflattering ‘panther’ while the man is labeled as a ‘toyboy,’ the boy-toy.

Like every prejudice, even that of the age difference between a woman and a man should be erased. To do this, let’s look at some excellent examples of lasting and happy celebrity relationships where age doesn’t matter!
