Actresses Who Married Older Men

by

As a movie fan, I’ve always noticed how often you see actresses marrying older guys in Hollywood. I put together a little rundown of some famous couples – just the basic info, like how they met, when they got married, and the age difference. I kept it simple, so you can quickly see who paired up with whom and how big the age gap actually was. It includes both couples who are still together and those who aren’t, but it’s all about the pairings and those age differences!

Catherine Zeta-Jones

Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas got married in 2000, having first met at a film festival in 1999. There’s a 25-year age difference between them. They are parents to two children and often work together on public events and charitable causes.

Calista Flockhart

Calista Flockhart and Harrison Ford got married in New Mexico in 2010. They first met at an awards event in 2002. Ford is 22 years older than Flockhart. She has a son from a previous relationship, and Ford later adopted him as his own.

Annette Bening

Annette Bening and Warren Beatty got married in 1992 after meeting on a movie set. There’s a 21-year age difference between them. Together, they have four children and generally prefer to keep their personal lives out of the public eye.

Hilarie Burton

Hilarie Burton and Jeffrey Dean Morgan tied the knot in 2019, though they had been together for years before that. There’s a 16-year age difference between them. They first connected through friends and now live on a farm in New York with their two children.

Katie Holmes

Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise got married in Italy in 2006, following a very public romance. There’s a 16-year age difference between them. They divorced in 2012 and have one daughter together.

Megan Fox

I was so happy when Megan and Brian first got together! They actually met while working on a TV show, and even though there was a pretty big age difference – Brian’s thirteen years older – they really seemed to connect. It wasn’t always smooth sailing, they had their ups and downs before finally tying the knot in Hawaii. Sadly, things didn’t work out long-term and they eventually divorced, but they’re still dedicated to raising their three kids together, which is great to see.

Angelina Jolie

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt got married in 2014 after being together for almost ten years. Brad is twelve years older than Angelina. Together, they have six children, both biological and adopted. The couple has since separated and are still working through issues related to their children’s care.

Alicia Vikander

Alicia Vikander and Michael Fassbender got married in 2017 after falling in love on a movie set. There’s a twelve-year age difference between them. The couple chose Ibiza for their wedding and are known for being private, later becoming parents to a child.

Meryl Streep

I’ve always admired Meryl Streep, and it’s fascinating to learn about her life beyond the screen. She married sculptor Don Gummer way back in 1978 – he’s a few years her senior, actually. Together, they’ve raised four children, and what I really appreciate is how they’ve managed to keep so much of their family life private. It’s refreshing to see a high-profile couple prioritize their peace and quiet.

Anne Hathaway

Anne Hathaway and Adam Shulman got married in California in 2012. Adam, who is a year older than Anne, is an actor and producer. Together, they have two children and have also collaborated on creative projects in both design and filmmaking.

Jessica Alba

I’ve been following Jessica Alba and Cash Warren’s relationship for years! They actually met while working on a movie set and got married back in 2008. It was a really private ceremony, which I always admired. They’ve built a beautiful family together, having three kids, and it’s amazing to see them collaborating on businesses too. He’s a couple of years older than her, but they seem incredibly happy and supportive of each other.

Rachel Weisz

Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig tied the knot in 2011, following years of friendship and working together on a movie. Daniel is two years older than Rachel. Their wedding was a private affair, attended only by immediate family. The couple later had a daughter together.
