When it comes to falling head over heels, a lot of stars just don't care about age. After all, it's just a number, right?! Take a look at some of the celebrity couples with a significant number of years between them…
After a 2022 fling with 23-year-old male model Andrew Darnell — who's about 41 years her junior — Madonna moved on with an older man… who's just 35 years her junior: In March 2023, the then-64-year-old Material Girl confirmed she was dating 29-year-old boxer Josh Popper, who's appeared as a boxing coach on "Summer House." They reportedly connected when he started training one of her six children at his gym in New York City.

On Nov. 10, 2022, People magazine confirmed that Captain America actor Chris Evans had quietly been dating Portuguese actress Alba Baptista "for over a year and it's serious," a source told the outlet, adding, "They are in love and Chris has never been happier. His family and friends all adore her." One day later on Nov. 11, the couple were photographed holding hands walking through New York City's Central Park (see the photos here). Speculation about a romance between the pair — who have 16 years between them — first surfaced earlier in the year on social media gossip account Deux Moi when the Marvel star was 40 and the "Warrior Nun" actress was 24.

British actress Helena Bonham Carter started seeing Rye Dag Holmboe — a Norwegian writer and art historian who's 21 years her junior — after they met at a wedding in 2018. In November 2022, she opened up about their two-decade age gap (at the time, she was 56 and Rye was 35) in an interview with The Sunday Times magazine, saying her love was an "old soul in a young body" and noting that "people aren't necessarily their chronological age." In Helena's experience, "there are people I've been involved with who aren't necessarily their age, maturity-wise, whereas [Rye] is ageless," she explained. The "Harry Potter" franchise and "The Crown" star — whose longest and most high-profile romances before Rye were with filmmakers Kenneth Branagh and Tim Burton, the father of her two kids — also has a sense of humor about being older than Rye, quipping, "His eyesight is going, so we say I'm siphoning off his youth at night." She appreciates younger men who don't see a problem with dating older women. "Good on the men for appreciating different kinds of beauty and finding other things sexy," she said, adding, "Collagen is not the only form of sexiness; there's character, fun, mischief and humor. As long as you've got the laughter, the intimacy will be there."

Anytime you make a Choice You Take a Chance.I've Always Taken Chances…It's WHO I Am." Cher, of course, has long loved dating younger men.

There's a nearly 26-year age difference between Alec Baldwin and his second wife, former yoga instructor Hilaria Baldwin. They wed in 2012 when he was 54 and she was 28. Hilaria — who now shares seven children with Alec — opened up about their big age gap on the debut episode of her "Witches Anonymous" podcast in November 2022, admitting that before she fell for the actor, "I would judge women and men that had big age differences. I would look at it like, this older man wants some young bimbo with no opinions whatsoever." She thought the women were "like whatever, 'I hope you die, and I'm going to take all your money,'" she added, but "now that I'm in that relationship and people will say those things about me regularly, I realize, what was this trained into my head? Why was I so judgmental about other people who are literally just finding love? Maybe their love looks different from you and from your love or what I thought love would be but it doesn't make it not valid."
