Celeb Couples With Big Age Differences
We tell ourselves that age is just a number, but is it really? If you use these still-going-strong celebrity relationships as a yardstick -- measuring how age disparity affects the stability of a romance -- then yes: Evidence would suggest that age really is only a number.
