Fans were shocked when it was announced that Cher was romantically involved – not because she was dating – but mainly because she was dating someone 40 years younger than her! While some people were defending the 76-year-old starlet, others were not okay with the fact that there is almost a generational age difference between the two.
However, it is not the first time that someone in Hollywood has started dating someone significantly younger or older. Multiple celebrities have been in and out of relationships with big age gaps.
For most people, age is considered to be nothing more than a number. Some people prioritize personality and connection while compromising on the potential age gap. Nonetheless, it doesn’t make these relationships any less than a regular relationship. In the honor of Cher, here are some celebrities with significantly huge age gaps.

Madonna
Madonna has often shown up at parties, award shows, and in the paparazzi photos walking side by side with younger partners. Currently, the pop sensation is dating a 23-year-old model, and the two have been spotted getting cozy together. Previously, Madonna dated her backup dancer, Ahlamalik Williams, who is only 28 years old.
Madonna, who is currently 64, is having the time of her life, rocking a new style and with a new beau Andrew Darnell, 23 years old. Madonna is known for her erratic behavior and preference for younger partners.
George and Amal Clooney
Fans were rightfully heartbroken to hear that the ultimate bachelor is off the market after he got hitched to Human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin. While the two have a 17-year age difference, the couple is loved for their philanthropic work and the fact that they look great together.
The two got married in 2014 and share a set of twins, Ella and Alexander. However, despite the common notion, the couple revealed that their age difference strengthens their marriage. George Clooney also mentioned in an interview that he focuses on the things they have in common rather than trivial things. However, despite the age gap, this couple has managed to win everyone’s hearts.

Sarah Paulson And Holland Taylor
They say when you fall in love, nothing else matters! In the case of Paulson and Taylor, this is true. The couple has been going strong and not letting their 32-year age difference get in the way, and it seems like they have been successful so far since they have been going strong for almost seven years. Despite their love for each other, fans and skeptics have been quick to call out the massive age gap between the two.
Paulson had met Holland around a decade while she was dating Cherry Jones. Sarah Paulson has received quite a backlash from the public over her relationship.

I hope you now see that having a huge age gap isn’t entirely weird.
