These A-list romances have stood the test of time despite their large age gaps
Click Here to read in detail
'Taboo' may be a word used to describe some celebrity couples whose relationships caused a stir at first due to their large age gaps.
But there are many famous couples whose romance has stood the test of time despite their big age differences.
WATCH: Famous couples with big age differences
From Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas' 25-year age gap to Calista Flockhart and Harrison Ford's 20 years, and even Dick Van Dyke and his wife Arlene Silver, who is 46 years his junior.
See below for more loved-up celebrity couples with big age gaps…
Dick Van Dyke will celebrate his 13th wedding anniversary with his wife Arlene Silver in 2025 after they met in 2007, when she was 35 years old, and he was 81.
The couple connected at the 2007 Screen Actors Guild Awards and despite their 46-year age gap, they hit it off immediately.
"He said, 'Hi, I’m Dick.' The first thing I asked him was, 'Weren’t you in Mary Poppins?' We got along immediately as friends, so it didn’t feel like he was so much older than me," the former makeup artist told Closer.
Dick hired Arlene for several other projects and eventually, they fell in love and married in 2012.
Hollywood's sweethearts Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas may share the same birthday – September 25 – but the couple have 25 years between them.
They met in 1998 at the Deauville Film Festival, with Michael cheekily telling the actress: "You know, I'm going to be the father of your children."
Catherine wasn't immediately impressed but told Access Hollywood in 2019: "You know what the worst thing is?... He was right."
The couple got married in November 2000 during a lavish ceremony held at the New York Plaza Hotel and went on to welcome two children – Dylan and Carys.
Sam Taylor-Johnson and Aaron Taylor-Johnson met in 2008 when she directed him in the John Lennon biopic, Nowhere Boy. He was 19 at the time while she was 42.
The pair became extremely close while working together and at the premiere of Nowhere Boy in October 2009, the director and the lead actor walked the red carpet as a couple.
Their relationship garnered quite a lot of press at the time due to their age difference, which Sam admitted was "intense".
"I guess that interest was more when we got together, which was now 14 years — at the beginning, was quite intense,” the Back to Black director admitted on BBC Radio 4’s This Cultural Life.
"And that sort of fascination, because he's younger than me, which you know, we couldn't really fathom the fascination... it's sort of gone away a little bit."
They married in 2012 and share two daughters, Wylda Rae and Romy Hero. Aaron is also a stepfather to Sam's older daughters Angelica and Jessie Phoenix.
Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart first met at the 2002 Golden Globes. The Indiana Jones actor was still married to his second wife, Melissa Mathison, at the time, although they had separated.
They made their red carpet debut in September 2002 and got engaged on Valentine's Day in 2009 and married a year later in New Mexico.
Their 22-year age gap wasn't an issue for Calista, as she told Hello! in 2003. "It doesn't faze me. Sometimes I even say, 'Wow, I keep forgetting that he's 22 years older than me.' It doesn't factor into our relationship at all."
They kept their love largely under wraps throughout the years, apart from the occasional red-carpet appearance or family outing with their son, Liam.
Music royalty Beyonce and Jay-Z were first rumored to be a couple when the singer appeared as Jay-Z's girlfriend in the music video for 03 Bonnie & Clyde.
They first met when she was 18 and started dating after her 19th birthday. In a candid chat with Oprah Winfrey, she said: "We were friends first for a year and a half before we went on any dates."
The lovebirds are known for their private relationship, so it comes as no surprise that they said "I do" in secret in 2008.
Opening up about their big day, Jay-Z told Vibe magazine: "I just think it's really a part of your life that you gotta keep to yourself… You have to, or you'll go insane in this type of business."
The couple are now parents to daughter Blue Ivy and twins Rumi and Carter.
Ryan Reynolds previously revealed that he fell for his wife Blake Lively when he was actually on a date with someone else. The actor and the actress had agreed to go on a double date with other people, about a year after filming Green Lantern together.
"That was the most awkward date for the respective parties because we were just fireworks coming across," Ryan told SiriusXM. "It was weird at first, but we were buddies for a long time. I think it's the best way to have a relationship, to start as friends."
Blake and Ryan married in September 2012, and in December 2014 they welcomed their daughter James, followed by Inez in 2016, Betty in 2019, and their son Olin in 2022.

When asked about his dark transformation in the drama, Park Hyung Sik remarked, “I think people may have a fixed image of me as an actor. So when this project was offered to me, I was amazed. I was also curious about what the director saw in me and felt grateful for the opportunity. It’s an actor’s job to show different sides, but the timing wasn’t right before, and roles like this didn’t come my way. After returning from the military and getting older, I finally found a project like this and thought I could show a new side of myself.”
Referring to the literal Korean title of the drama (Treasure Island), Park Hyun Sik described the drama's premise by saying, “I think everyone has their own ‘treasure island,’ whether it’s career success or the amount of money they want to make. But what happens if my treasure island is the same as someone else’s? When someone’s treasure island is at risk of being taken, it shows how fierce, ruthless, and even cruel people can become. That’s what this show explores. The desires and ambitions of individuals clash, leading to uncontrollable events. While filming, I spent a lot of time reflecting on what my own treasure island is and what goals I should be pursuing in life.”
When asked about acting alongside senior actor Heo Joon Ho and how Park Hyung Sik's portrayal of his character Seo Dong Joo appeared relaxed and understated, he replied, “It was an honor to work with Heo Joon Ho. I learned a lot from him, but I saw Yum Jang Sun [Heo Joon Ho’s character] and Seo Dong Joo as characters with different energies. Instead of thinking, ‘I’ll exude an energy that won’t be overwhelmed by Yum Jang Sun,’ I focused on staying true to Dong Joo’s emotions. Since Dong Joo tends to think things through, I portrayed him with a calm demeanor. In the end, I think the contrast in our energy levels helped create tension in our scenes.”
Describing his character, Park Hyung Sik said, “I see him as somewhat arrogant. He has a photographic memory, so when he sees a scene or a document, it’s like it’s imprinted in his mind. He’s confident and uses his skills to chase his ambitions. But while he’s smart, he’s not always wise, and sometimes he ends up backing himself into a corner.”
When told that many believe this project could be a turning point in Park Hyung Sik’s acting career, the actor replied, “I hope so. I actually wanted to take on a role like this in my late 20s, but it didn’t happen. At the time, I thought I was an adult, but looking back, I was probably still a bit immature! After returning from the military and gaining more life experience, I found myself in a project like this, and I’m thankful for that. I think going through hardships helps a person mature. When I watched the monitor this time, I noticed how much my face has changed. It feels like there’s a right time for everything.”
When asked about his goals as an actor, Park Hyung Sik said, “There are many roles I want to take on, but if I think about my identity and the path I’ve followed so far, I'd have to say James McAvoy in M. Night Shyamalan’s ‘Split.’ As an actor, I want to break free from a fixed image and push beyond it.” He further explained, “I found his portrayal of multiple personalities in ‘Split’ truly remarkable. It’s not necessarily that I want to play a role like that, but I want to be an actor like him—someone who constantly seeks new challenges and is always eager to grow. The most exciting and rewarding moments for me come when I push myself to break free from my own experiences and emotional boundaries, striving to become a better actor.”
When asked whether acting is what Park Hyung Sik enjoys most at the moment, he replied, “While acting on set, I’ve never really thought, ‘This is so fun’ or ‘I’m enjoying myself so much,’ but people around me often say it looks like I’m having a great time. So I realize, ‘Oh, I must really be enjoying this.’”
Park Hyung Sik’s full interview and pictorial can be found in the February issue of Singles Korea. Meanwhile, his upcoming drama “Buried Hearts” will premiere on February 14 at 10 p.m. KST.
