Aaron and Sam Taylor-Johnson
Aaron and Sam Taylor-Johnson have a 23-year age gap, but they are still going strong years after their 2012 nuptials. They now share two daughters, Wylda Rae and Romy Hero.
Speaking in an interview with The Guardian, the Fifty Shades of Grey director said their age different never got the spotlight in their day-to-day lives.
"I mean, it’s coming up now because you’re asking. And it comes up on the outside perspective of people who don’t know us, because I guess people will always...We’re a bit of an anomaly, but it’s that thing: After 14 years you just think, surely by now it doesn’t really matter?” she said.
Alec and Hilaria Baldwin
In a 2022 episode of her "Witches Anonymous" podcast, Hilaria Baldwin confessed she used to criticize couples with big age gaps before she started dating Alec Baldwin.
"Now that I'm in that relationship and people will say those things about me regularly, I'm like, 'Oh my God, why was this trained into my head? Why was I so judgmental about other people who are literally just finding love?'" she continued. "And maybe their love looks different from you, and from your love, or from what I thought love would be, but it doesn't make it not valid."
They have a 26-year age difference.

"We have a connection that has nothing to do with age. Work comes and goes, but if you have someone at home who thinks you're the greatest person in the world, that keeps you going."
