18 May-December Celebrity Marriages

Robert and Luciana Duvall

En español | Age gap: 41 years They share a Jan. 5 birthday, though he’s got a lot more candles on his cake. At their 2004 wedding, the Apocalypse Now actor was 73 and the Argentine actress — his fourth wife — was 32. 

Alec Baldwin and Hilaria Thomas

Age gap: 26 years Baldwin was 54 when he married the yoga instructor, then 28, in 2012. She’s said that she fell in love when she first spied the 30 Rock star at a New York restaurant — though “I didn’t really know who he was.”

Joan Collins and Percy Gibson

Age gap: 32 years The only older woman on this list, the Dynasty actress has declared that this marriage — her fifth — is her “happiest and last,” thanks to three things: “sex, sex, sex.” When they wed in 2002, Collins was 68, Gibson 36.

Larry King and Shawn Southwick

Age gap: 26 years It takes a leap of faith to say “I do” to a guy who’s already tied the knot seven times. (King married and divorced one wife twice.) Southwick took the plunge, marrying the iconic talk show host in 1997 at age 37, when he was 63. They filed for divorce in 2010 but reconciled.

Donald and Melania Trump

Age gap: 24 years The real estate mogul was 58 in 2005 when he married his third wife, a former model from Slovenia, then 34. At their predictably over-the-top Palm Beach wedding, the bride wore a $100,000 Dior gown.

Edward James Olmos and Lymari Nadal
