They say women mature faster than men, and hence, it’s common for women to marry someone a few years older than men. But let us break this stereotype, because that's not always a fact. When choosing your significant other, it's about compatibility and the moments you share together. A number of female celebrities from across the globe have proved that age is a just number, and regardless of who is older, the relationship can be a fruitful one. Ahead, we've put together a list of a few celebrity couples that have successfully shattered age-related stereotypes. Scroll on to read their love story.
Vicky Kaushal and Katrina Kaif
Let's start with the newly-weds in Bollywood, Vicky Kaushal and Katrina Kaif. Yes, the two have an age gap of five years with Katrina being 38 and Vicky is 33. However, age did not come in between these two lovebirds who got married in a beautiful ceremony in Rajasthan in December 2021–their relationship seems novel-like.
Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas
When PeeCee married American musician, Nick Jonas, there was a lot of talk about their 10-year age gap. And in the recent past, there were also rumours of the two getting a divorce, but their relationship continues to stand the test of time and they seem to be madly in love even three years into their marriage.
Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai
This was one of the first Bollywood couples who broke the age-stereotype with an age gap of three years. Being almost 15 years into their marriage, the couple is proof that age is just a number. The two had been friends for a long time prior to their wedding and the two have also worked in various films together.
Heidi Klum and Tom Kaulitz
Heidi Klum (48) clearly didn’t let her 17-year age gap with her now-husband and singer Tom Kaulitz (31) come in the way of sealing the deal. And the best part? She also had a sassy reply to all those who have a thing or two to say: "You have to just live a happy life without worrying too much about what people think because worrying is only going to give you more wrinkles." And we couldn't agree more.
Hugh Jackman and Debora Lee-Furness
Debora and Hugh’s 13-year age doesn't have a thing on this power couple’s relationship. Being married for 25 years, the couple has set serious goals for all those who thought age is a barrier.
