Gisele Bündchen and Boyfriend Joaquim Valente’s Age Difference Is Child’s Play In Comparison to 5 Hollywood Couples
- Gisele Bündchen and Joaquim Valente are going to welcome their first child together.
- Some Hollywood couples like Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones have an age gap of more than two decades.
- All of these couples have been happily married for over a decade despite their huge age gaps.
Gisele Bündchen is back in the headlines, but this time it is not about her divorce from Tom Brady or her new modeling venture. She was absent from the Victoria’s Secret show which saw the return of many old Angels earlier this month. This made some people wonder about her whereabouts, and the answer to that question is that she is going to be a mother for the third time.
Bündchen has been dating Jiu-Jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente for over a year, and their relationship is now moving to the next level as they prepare to be parents. One of the interesting things about their relationship is their age difference which happens to be 7 years with the supermodel at 44 and her boyfriend at 37. However, there are some other Hollywood couples whose age differences are much bigger than this.
David Foster and Katherine McPhee- 34 Years
74-year-old Canadian record producer, film composer, and music executive, David Foster is widely known for his contributions to the music world. He has had his fair share of high-profile relationships including one with Dutch model, Yolanda Hadid. However, the one that turned heads was his relationship with Katherine McPhee who is now 40 years old.
Foster and McPhee first met when the former was mentoring her and other contestants on season 5 of American Idol. Rumors of them dating started in 2017 after the Grammy winner’s divorce was finalized with Hadid. He got engaged to McPhee in 2018 and they tied to knot a year later (via E! Online). According to E! Online, the couple welcomed a son in 2021.
Alec Baldwin & Hilaria Baldwin- 26 Years
According to her cover with The New York Times, Alec Baldwin gave his heart to yoga instructor, Hilaria Thomas after she winked at him in a vegetarian restaurant in 2011. The couple got engaged in April next year and got married a month later in New York (via Associated Press).
It has been more than twelve years and the couple is not only still happily married, but also shares seven children together. According to PEOPLE, the family has taped a reality show titled, The Baldwins which is set to be aired on TLC next year.
Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones- 25 Years
Michael Douglas began dating Welsh actress Catherine Zeta-Jones in 1999. The couple married the next year, and have been together since then. They have been together for the past 24 years, save for a brief period of time when they seemed to have temporarily separated in 2013.
Zeta-Jones, who is currently popularly playing the role of Wednesday Addams’ mother, Morticia Addams in Netflix’s hit show Wednesday, is also a mother to two of Douglas’s kids in real life. One interesting fact about the couple is that they share the same birthday- September 25!
Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Sam Taylor-Johnson- 23 Years
Aaron Johnson fell in love with then 42-year-old filmmaker, Sam Taylor-Wood while working on the 2009 John Lennon biopic, Nowhere Boy when he was 18. The 23 year age gap between them was highly criticized, but the Marvel star hit right back in an interview with Rolling Stone U.K.
In June 2012, Vulture reported that the couple tied the knot. Not only have they set an example for other couples with such huge age gaps, but also did it again when the Anna Karenina star took up his wife’s last name just like she did. Subsequently, they are known as Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Sam Taylor-Johnson, and share four daughters.
George Clooney and Amal Clooney- 17 Years
In 2014, George Clooney surprised the world by announcing his engagement to Amal Alamuddin, a British-Lebanese human rights lawyer. Later that year, they married in a private ceremony at Aman Canal Grande luxury resort in Venice, Italy (via PEOPLE).
In early 2017, The Talk show’s Julie Chen (via BBC) reported that Amal Clooney was pregnant with twins. Matt Damon confirmed the news while talking to Entertainment Online. The couple welcomed the twins- a daughter, Ella, and a son, Alexander in June 2017. They often make appearances on the red carpet arm-in-arm.
All of these couples might have huge age gaps, but if there is one thing that they all have in common, it is their love for their respective partners. It is this love that makes their relationship timeless. Hopefully, Gisele Bündchen and Joaquim Valente will also have a long and happy relationship.
