Cougars get a bad rap. If Hugh Hefner can have seven girlfriends in their twenties, then Madonna can have a boyfriend that age too. Sure, some of these relationships might not be as genuine as those between two people the same age, but some of them really have stood the test of time. Famous wealthy women have been dating younger men for years, and Hollywood has its fair share of cougars. We're going to give you the lowdown on the most notorious.

[post_page_title]Madonna[/post_page_title]

She probably makes all her toyboys feel like they're virgins. The Queen of Pop's a cougar to be reckoned with... She's not just the Queen of Pop, she's the Queen of Cougars too. Madonna's been dating younger men for most of her life. The most recent of whom, Aboubakar Soumahoro, is an incredible 33 years younger than her at just 25 years old.

[post_page_title]Sandra Bullock[/post_page_title]

The most badass cougar - I mean, Miss Congeniality - to ever grace the red carpet. Bullock famously dated Ryan Gosling when she was 38 and he was just 22 after they met on the set of Murder By Numbers. But it was (swoon) Ryan Gosling. Bullock's also got strong opinions on those who criticize her for being a cougar, asking the question, "Why are we stopping great connections based on age, or race or color or whatever, gender, whatever?" Well said, Sandra!

[post_page_title]Demi Moore[/post_page_title]

Ahh, Ashton Kutcher. He's certainly not with an older woman because he can't get one his own age that's for sure. I don't think there are many women who wouldn't date Ashton Kutcher if they had the chance. Demi Moore was no exception, even though they had an age gap of 15 years.

[post_page_title]Janet Jackson[/post_page_title]

Sometimes younger men are the answer for older women who've had no luck with men their own age! After being unlucky in love for years, Janet Jackson finally found her prince in Wissam Al Mana, a Middle Eastern industrialist, who's nine years her junior. Their age gap isn't an issue for Jackson, but she did initially keep their relationship quiet. She said, "I came to realize that younger men had less of a problem with who I am than older men. With the younger guys, there was less ego. Things were less competitive." Good on you, Janet.

[post_page_title]Jennifer Aniston[/post_page_title]

Jennifer Aniston's younger beau looks as cute as a button here! Well, maybe she was just heartbroken after Brad dumped her for Angelina. But Jennifer Aniston famously dated John Mayer in 2009. He was nine years younger than her. Sadly, their age gap proved to be fatal for their relationship as Aniston couldn't understand Mayer's preoccupation with technology.

[post_page_title]Cameron Diaz[/post_page_title]

These two made a mighty fine pair despite their age difference. Everyone's favorite bad teacher had a relationship with a younger man and it thankfully lasted longer than Jennifer Aniston's relationship with John Mayer. Cameron Diaz started dating the equally famous Justin Timberlake in 2003 when he was 21 and she was 33, and their relationship lasted four years, which isn't bad for any celebrity couple - never mind one with an age gap.

[post_page_title]Nicole Scherzinger[/post_page_title]

She might be a cougar, but she sure doesn't look like one. These two look like they could be on the cover of Vogue. This cougar had a lengthy relationship with her younger beau, Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton, which lasted an impressive eight years - although it was very much on and off. These two had a six-year age gap. Even though they parted ways (for good) in February 2015, Scherzinger, during their relationship, said, "sometimes it feels like he’s older than I am" so it's unlikely that it failed because of their age gap. Once it was over, Scherzinger even said that she "sincerely" wished him the best.

[post_page_title]Courtney Cox[/post_page_title]

She helped capture the notorious Ghostface and she captured this younger man's heart too... There's little doubt that many young men fantasized about Courtney Cox in the late nineties. I'm sure they were delighted when she turned out to be a cougar and married a younger man, David Arquette, in 1999, who was seven years her junior. The two sadly divorced in 2013, but, hilariously, Arquette even helped to co-create her TV show Cougar Town before they parted ways. I'm sure that the show's name was no coincidence.

[post_page_title]Ivana Trump[/post_page_title]

She might look old enough to be her toyboy's mom, but Ivana Trump certainly looks pleased with herself here. Just like her former husband Donald, Ivana Trump's not one for dating men her own age. She officially became a cougar in 2008 when she married a man 23 years younger than her, Rossano Rubicondi. Like a lot of age gap relationships, it didn't last and the two divorced a year later in 2009. But it didn't put her off younger men. In fact, she said she was only dating them from now on.

[post_page_title]Paris Hilton[/post_page_title]

Paris Hilton's a fan of baby-faced boys. She might be young herself, but Paris Hilton likes to date men who're even younger. I think that's more shocking than an older woman going for younger men! She dated a model, River Viiperi, who was eleven years younger than her. She was so committed to the relationship that she said she wanted to settle down with him. Once again, it wasn't to last and the two broke up after two years together.

[post_page_title]Mariah Carey[/post_page_title]

Now that's what I call a pair of Hollywood smiles! This cougar and her toyboy are glowing. We all know that heartache can cause people to do some pretty crazy things. After splitting from her older husband, Tommy Mottola, who was 23 years her senior, her taste in men changed dramatically. She dated a string of younger men and then decided to marry her boyfriend, Nick Cannon, after just SIX WEEKS of dating!

[post_page_title]Jennifer Lopez[/post_page_title]

They made a fabulous looking couple, but the age gap caused by JLo and her man was just too big... JLo caused as stir in 2011 when she started dating someone 18 years younger than her. Casper Smart was her backup dancer. Like Nicole Scherzinger and Lewis Hamilton, they had a fairly lengthy on and off relationship. But, once again, the age difference proved to be too much of a problem. They broke up when Casper decided to go and watch a UFC fight in Vegas instead of attending a charity event with his cougar.

[post_page_title]Sharon Stone[/post_page_title]

Is it just me or does Sharon Stone look vaguely like someone familiar? Stifler's mom! Is that you Finch?! Sharon Stone's big break came in the form of an extremely steamy movie, Basic Instinct. I'm sure that her toy boy, Martin Mica, felt like a very lucky man when they first got together - even though she is old enough to be his mother, at 30 years his senior. According to Stone, "I really get pursued by men in their twenties, like, a lot. They probably know there’s food in the fridge and that somebody’s going to talk to them and ask them how their day was."

[post_page_title]Sam Taylor-Johnson[/post_page_title]

These two might look more like a mother and son than lovers, but they have proven the strength of their love. This age gap's almost as big as the one between Madonna and her current beau at 23 years. Sam-Taylor-Johnson was known as Taylor-Wood until fate intervened and she met Aaron Johnson on the set of Nowhere Boy. He was a nineties baby!

[post_page_title]Julianne Moore[/post_page_title]

This fresh-faced cougar doesn't look out of place next to her younger man. They make a very handsome pair! It's nice to hear a story of a cougar having a romance that lasts. For some people, age really is just a number! It certainly was for Julianne Moore and her husband, Bart Freundlich, who is ten years younger than her. They've been married for over 20 years now and even have two children together.

[post_page_title]Geena Davis[/post_page_title]

Some say third time's the charm, but Geena Davis finally got lucky on her fourth marriage to a toyboy. Like Janet Jackson, after being unlucky in love with three failed marriages under her belt, Geena Davis eventually found what she was looking for in a much younger man, Reza Jarrahy, who she married in 2001. She said she had doubts about the relationship in its infancy and said, "I remember thinking, This guy is cute - and ridiculously young."

[post_page_title]Susan Sarandon[/post_page_title]

If you're going to date a cougar, you'll need to accept that you can only play lighter sports together... The colossal age gap between Sarandon and her husband can only be rivaled by some of the most extreme cougars on this list like Madonna. At 64, she began dating a man who was a shocking 31 years younger than her in 2011, Jonathan Bricklin. Their romance also lasted a while, five years to be precise, but the two eventually split in 2015.

[post_page_title]Eva Mendes[/post_page_title]

Ryan Gosling just can't keep his hands off of attractive older women. But can you blame him when they're this hot? Hollywood beauty Eva Mendes joined the cougar club when she began dating serial toyboy Ryan Gosling in 2011. He's 12 years younger than her. Their relationship's been much more successful than Gosling's relationship with Bullock. They're still together today and even have two children together!

[post_page_title]Kathy Griffin[/post_page_title]

Sometimes all a relationship needs to work is laughter and this comic's romance with her toyboy is living proof! Fiery redhead Kathy Griffin has become one of Hollywood's most notorious cougars. Her current toyboy is Randy Bick, a marketing executive who's twenty years her junior. She said of the relationship, "I didn't think it would last". But their love has proven everyone wrong, including Kathy herself, and they're still together today!

[post_page_title]Vivica A. Fox[/post_page_title]

Just as her same suggests Vivica A. Fox is a real foxy lady, and she also has a penchant for younger men. She dated 50 Cent when she was 39 and he was 28. While their relationship only lasted a year, dating younger men wasn't a one-off for the actress and she was dating 28-year-old Omar White in 2011 when she was 47.

[post_page_title]Robin Wright[/post_page_title]

Sometimes, people have a penchant for beaus of a certain age, other times, age really is just a number. Despite never having any notable age-cap relationships previously, Robin Wright is engaged to Ben Foster. They have a fairly sizable age cap, with him being 39 and her being 53.

[[pagebreak]][post_page_title]Chili[/post_page_title]

Another one-time cougar is singer Chili, who was the older woman in Usher's life for quite a long time. These two dated for two years, when he was 25 and she was 33.

[post_page_title]Halle Berry[/post_page_title]

Isn't it odd to think that a lot of celebs in this list were already well into their education by the time their beaus were born? Halle Berry dated Gabriel Aubry when he was 30 and she was 39. Clearly, the age difference really didn't make a difference and the pair were together for five years.

[post_page_title]Katie Couric[/post_page_title]

Another serial cougar is Katie Couric, who eventually found the one in a man seven years her junior. She is 62 and he is 55. Prior to dating John Molner, she was with a man, Brooks Perlin, who was seventeen years younger than her. Maybe she's like Hugh Hefner and finds that surrounding herself with young people helps keep her young - even if seven years is a fairly modest age difference.

[post_page_title]Eva Longoria[/post_page_title]

Sometimes cougars look so young that their toyboys don't even know they're toyboys... This desperate housewife had an on-screen romance with her TV toyboy Jesse Metcalf, but claims it wasn't serious - at least it wasn't for her. She said, "Jesse played my toyboy …but I felt just like his mum". However, off-screen she's still a cougar and has dated a number of young men, including 25-year-old Mark Sanchez, a football player.

Have you ever noticed that Leonardo DiCaprio's girlfriends always have one thing in common?

Nope, I'm not talking about their model looks, their blonde hair, or the fact that they're all somehow still not Kate Winslet (yup, we're still shipping Jack and Rose 21 years after the release of Titanic).

I'm, instead, referring to their age.

If you haven't noticed that the Wolf of Wall Street actor tends to date younger women, you must have been living at the bottom of a very long, dark, celebrity gossip-less hole for the past few decades.

However, a recent viral post from a Reddit user makes it painstakingly clear exactly how old Leo is willing to go when choosing a lady to date.

The Redditor, who goes by the name 'u/TrustLittleBrother', created a hilarious graph that shows the relationship between the Romeo + Juliet star's age and that of the women he dates. Remarkably, it shows that as Leo's age steadily increases, his girlfriend's ages stay much the same.

It also shows that all of the women are under the age of 25 when they start dating him - and by the time they have reached this grand old age, they have broken up. In fact, he's only dated three women who were 25 - models Bar Refaeli, Kelly Rohrbach and Nina Agdal - before breaking it off, and, according to the chart, the average age of his flames is 22.9 years old.

Of course, we could have pretty much guessed that this was the case - but seeing it in chart-form really brings it home. People on Reddit certainly found it amusing, with the graph quickly gaining thousands of comments and 22,000 upvotes.

[[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/diorpills/status/903675459988320258]]

The chart begins with the Oscar winner's relationship with model Gisele Bundchen in 1999. She was 18 and he was 24, and they stayed together for five years before splitting in 2004, with Gisele claiming she wanted to change her lifestyle, while her boyfriend was keen to keep living the party life.

Next up was supermodel Bar Refaeli, who had an on-and-off romance with the movie star for more than five years, starting when she was 20 and ending when she was 25. After, he moved on to then-23-year-old actress Blake Lively - the only one of his girlfriends who was not a model, although she easily could be.

When this didn't work out, roughly five months later, the Titanic actor dated Victoria Secret model Erin Heatherton, 22, before going on to romance German model Toni Garrn from 2013 to 2014 when she was 20 and 21.

By this point, Leo is hitting his 40s and begins seeing swimwear model Kelly Rohrbach, 25, but when their romance came to an amicable end in December due to "intense work schedules," he went on to meet Danish model Nina Adgal, 24.

Claims from friends that "it's different with this girl" fall to pieces when they separate a year later, with reports claiming that the playboy still wasn't ready to say goodbye to the bachelor life quite yet.

[[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/bestgug/status/1103933002717921280]]

Finally, we come to present day 2019. At the age of 44, Leo is currently dating Argentine model and actress Camila Morrone, who is 21 years old. This, of course, makes for a 23 year age difference, with Camila's mother, actress Lucila Solá, being two years younger than the movie star.

So, will this be the girl to finally make Leo settle down? That remains to be seen. All we know is that, if he does eventually move on to a new lady, she'll probably be under 25.

Celebrities. They're just like us, only they're not. They live far more glamorous lives than us mere mortals. However, they're just like us in that they often go looking for love. However, as we've seen by many a celebrity news headline, their romances are often not as long-lasting. There is also the question of age. Many celebrities seem to have quite the age gap romances. Or perhaps that's just scrutiny from the media. I mean, everyday people do age gap romances all the time, too.

While the normal age gap between partners is usually just a few years, like 3-5 on average, some people have much more significant ones. And celebrities are no exception. Some of Hollywood's biggest stars can sometimes surprise us with romances that vary in age. It's a bit icky to think that some of these celebrities were already grown adults when their partners were born. Let that sink in for a moment. Nevertheless, let's explore this list of age gap romances!

[post_page_title]Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo, 10 years[/post_page_title]

Adam was a bit of a playboy before he settled down. I'm sure anyone from the early naughties remembers. But then he finally settled down in June 2012 after meeting his future wife Behati. At the time Levine was 34, while Prinsloo was 24. Probably one of the shorter age gaps, this romance didn't begin without its fair share of drama. Levine got with Prinsloo after ending a relationship with Prinsloo’s close friend and fellow VS model, Anne Vyalitsyna.

The couple became engaged in 2013 and later married in Cabos, Mexico in 2014. They had their first baby girl, Dusty Rose, in 2016, who was then followed by another baby girl, Gio Grace, in February 2018.

[post_page_title]King and Queen of Bhutan, 10 years[/post_page_title]

This couple is 10 years apart. 39-year-old King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck and his 29-year-old wife Jetsun Pema first met at a picnic when Jetsun was only 7 years old. Do the math and it's got a bit of a creep factor.

Although Jetsun Pema is technically a commoner, her family has lots of connections to the royal family. There's a rumor that while at the picnic, seven-year-old Jetsun innocently confessed her love for the teenage prince. He was touched by her confession and made her a promise that when she grew up he would marry her if they were both still single and in love. Eventually, they married in 2011, and Justin gave birth to their son in 2016. Cute story, but still a little weird.

[post_page_title]Nikki Reed and Ian Somerhalder, 10 years[/post_page_title]

Thirty-one-year-old Reed and 41-year-old Somerhalder both began their relationship in 2014, something which greatly excited vampire fans everywhere. Both Reed and Somerhalder each starred in very successful vampire franchises - Reed in Twilight and Somerhalder in the Vampire Diaries.

Reed and Somerhalder got engaged after six months of dating. An excited Reed accepted and the couple married that same year. The couple had their first child, a baby girl named Bodhi Soleil Reed Somerhalder, in July of 2017.

[post_page_title]Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas, 11 years[/post_page_title]

This couple who have an 11-year-old age gap engaged in July 2018 after only two months of dating. That same year, the couple hosted an array of lavish wedding ceremonies in December. There were two complete ceremonies as well as multiple festivities in India. While the age gap has been brought up by fans, the couple couldn't care less.

In fact, all Nick seems to prefer older ladies. A source close to Jonas has stated, "The age difference is not a big deal to them whatsoever. He loves dating older women, and if anything it makes Priyanka even more attractive to him." The source also added that Jonas has "always been very mature for his age” and is “an old soul.”

[post_page_title]Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, 11 years[/post_page_title]

This couple met back in the early part of 2010 when Lively was only 22 and Reynolds was 33. They met on the set of Green Lantern but didn't begin dating until 2011.

The couple then married in September 2012. They don't seem to let the age gap make much of a difference, as they seem happily married and are parents to two little girls, James and Ines. They always appear together on red carpet events arm-in-arm.

[post_page_title]Alicia Vikander and Michael Fassbender, 11 years[/post_page_title]

This cute couple began dating in 2014, not long after they met on the set of The Light Between Oceans. At the beginning of the relationship, they kept it lowkey in front of the cameras.

However, 30-year-old Vikander and 41-year-old Fassbender got outed as newlyweds when they returned from Ibiza in 2017, following a very secretive wedding.

[post_page_title]Jay-Z and Beyonce, 12 years[/post_page_title]

Everyone's favorite power couple goes way back to 2001, when 32-year-old Jay-Z asked out the then 20-year-old Beyonce. The couple tied the knot on April 4, 2008 during a super-secret wedding ceremony.

The couple welcomed their first baby, Blue Ivy Carter, in 2012. Then Beyonce broke the internet a few years later in 2017 when she announced the impending arrival of the couple's twins on Instagram. Later that year, the couple welcomed Rumi and Sir.

[post_page_title]Felicity Huffman and William H. Macy, 12 years[/post_page_title]

This Desperate Housewife and her Shameless actor husband had quite the long trip to the alter. Prior to getting married in 1997, the couple dated on and off for 15 years. At the time of marrying, Macy was 47 and Huffman was 35.

Regarding marriage and her hesitation, Huffman told Tribune News: "I was so scared of marriage that I thought I would've preferred to step in front of a bus." Looks like she's since gotten over it since the couple now have two daughters together - and we've seen the headlines regarding the college thing, right?

[post_page_title]Julius Tennon and Viola Davis, 12 years[/post_page_title]

This celebrity couple have been married since 2003. Fifty-four-year-old Davis first met 66-year-old Tennon on the set of the TV show, City of Angels.

Regarding the couple's first meeting, Davis told People magazine: “The only thing I thought was, 'He’s good-looking. He’s really good-looking.'" While Tennon has two kids from previous relationships, both Davis and Tennon adopted their daughter Genesis in 2011.

[post_page_title]Camila Alves and Matthew McConaughey, 13 years[/post_page_title]

This couple met in a Los Angeles nightclub back in 2006. At the time, McConaughey was 36 and Alves was 23. It wasn't happily-ever-after right away. In fact, it took some convincing on McConaughey's part to get Alves to go out with him.

The couple finally began dating and McConaughey proposed to Alves on Christmas Day, 2011. The pair then married in June 2012. Together, they have three children: sons Levi and Livingston and daughter Vida.

[post_page_title]Megan Fox and Brian Austin, 13 years[/post_page_title]

This couple got their start back in 2004 on the set of the sitcom Hope & Faith. At the time Fox was barely 18 years old. Not weird at all.

The couple became engaged in 2006 but then split three years later. It wasn't the complete end, however, since they later reconciled and married in 2010. Together, Austin and Fox have three boys, as well as Fox being a stepmom to Green's son from a previous relationship.

[post_page_title]Hugh Jackman and Deborra Lee-Furness, 13 years[/post_page_title]

We keep seeing age gaps where the man is older than the woman, but this celebrity couple has the reverse. 51-year-old Jackman met his wife, 64-year-old Lee-Furness, on the 1995 set of the Australian show Correlli. The show served as Jackman's breakout role following drama school.

The couple married in 1996. Afterward, they adopted two children together: Oscar and Ava. Jackman told People that despite their age difference, he's still more of the adult in the relationship. "I’m literally the adult in the relationship. She’s just like a little kid. I’m the [one saying], ‘Babe, this is not a legal parking spot," says Jackman.

By 2005, the couple were living together and Ellen told People: "It's the first time that I've known in every cell of my being that I'm with somebody for the rest of my life."

It took a little while for them to make it down the aisle because same-sex marriage hadn't been legalized in the state of California. When it finally was, the couple married in 2008 and have been together ever since.

Can you imagine being 34 and looking at a baby and being like, "that's my future wife?" Yeah neither can I. But somewhere along the way, ages change and suddenly a 34 year age difference isn't that weird. At least it's not to David Foster and Katherine McPhee."It doesn't make sense to a lot of people, but it does to us," McPhee said about their relationship in an interview with People.

This couple first met in 2006 when Foster was mentoring McPhee and other Season five American Idol contestants. While they didn't get together right away, the dating rumors started flying in 2017, following Foster finalizing his divorce from Yolanda Hadid. Foster and McPhee confirmed their engagement in 2018.

After Charlize Theron spoke unreservedly about dating younger men and enjoying a new sense of freedom later in life, including a coital exchange with a man 20 years her junior, and she isn't the first celebrity to have entertained younger men...

The term 'cougar' was coined for women who are romantically involved with younger males, with many seeing it as an opportunity to get a new lease of life.

Charlize Theron

While audiences are used to seeing the revered actress in steamy on-screen roles, she has historically kept her private life out of the spotlight. However, during an appearance on Call Her Daddy with Alex Cooper, Theron spoke openly about sex, dating, and confidence in her 40s.

When Cooper asked her for her best sex advice, Theron joked: “I almost choked. I am the last person to ask.”

The 50-year-old went on to explain how her outlook on relationships has evolved over time. “I'm sounding very cocky here, but I think it's because I found this freedom in my forties, where I'm like, 'Oh my god,'” she said.

Theron then stunned listeners with a candid admission about a recent encounter with a younger man. “I've probably had three one night stands in my entire life, but I did just recently f*** a 26-year-old and it was really f****** amazing and I've never done that and I was like, 'Oh, this is great okay.'”

Cooper responded jokingly: “Let me just say that 26-year-old is the luckiest f****** man walking on this god damn planet.”

Theron laughed off the comment, replying: “He is for sure is not, but thank you.”

The actress, who shares daughters Jackson and August, has largely stayed out of the public dating scene since splitting from Sean Penn in 2015. She also admitted casual relationships are rare for her, adding: “So when I do, I'm like, 'Oh, f*** yeah, I should have done this in my 20s.'”

Jennifer Coolidge

Jennifer Coolidge previously revealed that her role as “Stifler’s Mom” in American Pie dramatically changed her dating life.

Speaking with Ariana Grande for Entertainment Weekly, Coolidge said: “It helped my dating life in a way that I can't ever explain.”

Reflecting on the attention she received after the movie, she added: “If I hadn't had that movie, I don't think… Well, let's just say it would've been a very dull decade.”

Coolidge also recalled one particularly awkward experience involving a younger partner. “This one guy was particularly young — legal, of course, it was all very legal,” she said. “I won't get into the details. But afterwards, the next morning, I told him I needed to get a blow dry. So he was so young, we called his mother to see where I could get a blow dry.”

Demi Moore

Meanwhile, Demi Moore has long faced public attention for dating younger men. Reports recently linked her to Andrew Garfield following their viral interaction at the Golden Globes.

A source claimed: “While Demi isn’t looking to settle down, having someone in her life who she can enjoy some romance with while also connecting on a deeper level would really do her good.”

The insider added: “She and Andrew have a huge physical attraction… Andrew is just her type – he’s tall, fit, and thinks outside of the box.”

Halle Berry

Halle Berry has also been linked to younger partners over the years. Commenting on her relationship with music producer Alex da Kid, TV personality Bevy Smith joked: “He’s a younger, tasty gentleman.”

Madonna

Madonna has also spoken openly about dating younger men and the double standards surrounding it. During an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, she addressed public fascination with her relationships.

When asked about the youngest man she had dated in recent years, Madonna replied: “The youngest was — in the last six years — 22, yeah.”

Questioning why people are so focused on age gaps, she said: “Why is everyone so obsessed?”

She also pointed out the difference in how society reacts to men dating younger women versus women dating younger men: “Men date younger women all the time and nobody says anything about it. What's wrong with women dating younger men?”
