  • Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas just had a baby, Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes met on set, and former Victoria’s Secret Angel Heidi Klum loves posting about her relationship on Instagram

Romances with large age gaps are hardly unheard of in showbiz. And while some flames fizzle out after burning spectacularly hot, other celebrity couples end up settling down happily ever after. In fact, numerous celebrity men have found love with famous women several years their senior and ended up in long-term relationships, or even tying the knot … Here are just nine of them.

Affleck, 49, met Lopez, 52, while they were both filming the critically panned 2003 movie Gigli. They began dating in 2002 and became engaged later that same year, but officially announced their split in early 2004.

Following Affleck’s highly publicised divorce from Jennifer Garner, and Lopez’s break-up with Alex Rodriguez, the two rekindled their romance in 2021. Affleck proposed to Lopez for a second time earlier this year, and she accepted.
