If they could turn back time: Cher, Leo, Olivia Wilde and other celeb couples who have big age gaps

Many believe age is just a number when it comes to who you are dating including some celebrities such as Believe singer Cher.

The 76-year-old has been hitting headlines this week as she sparked rumours of a new relationship with music producer Alexander Edwards - a man 40 years her junior.

Cher was seen holding hands with Alexander while the pair were arriving at her mansion in Malibu. The sighting came after the potential couple had a late dinner in West Hollywood with rapper Tyga.

Alexander Edwards is known in his own right for reportedly cheating on his ex-girlfriend Amber Rose, who once dated Kanye West.

But as the rumour mill begins to turn about the relationship status of Cher and Edwards, many are left wondering if the Vanity Fair-proclaimed “original cougar”, who has quite the catalogue of younger boyfriends, is continuing to ask herself, If I Could Turn Back Time.

Cher may not be alone in this matter as PeopleWorld delves into the world of large age gaps between celebrity couples:

Kris Jenner and Corey Gamble

The matriarch of the Kardashian-Jenner family, 66, became a household name after her show Keeping Up with the Kardashians took flight, which also showcased her marriages to lawyer Robert Kardashian and then-Bruce Jenner.

Following her split from now-Caitlyn Jenner, the show captured the start of her relationship in 2014 with business executive Corey Gamble who is 25 years younger.

The pair have lasted eight years and seem to be as happy as can be as they juggle the life of 12 grandchildren.

Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde

A couple that is no stranger to media attention is Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde who reportedly got together during the course of their movie Don’t Worry Darling.

Styles, 28, and Wilde, 38, had a crazy time in the public eye as they came under scrutiny not only for their ten-year age gap but also for their PDA on set.

The singer and director hit things off following Olivia’s dramatic divorce with Jason Sudeikis, who they share joint custody over their two children with.

Florence Pugh and Zach Graff

While Florence Pugh’s name was paired with the previously mentioned couple throughout the summer film festivals in a negative light, some cast their eye onto her relationship with Zach Braff that quietly fizzled out after three years.

The Hollywood couple who had 21 years between them, dated under the radar, but sadly broke up in September 2022.

Florence told Harper’s Bazaar: “We’ve been trying to do this separation without the whole world knowing.”

Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher

Another couple that has since split, is Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher who enjoyed over a decade together.

The pair, who were separated by 15 years, dated for two years before marrying in Beverly Hills on 24 September 2005.

They enjoyed eight years of marriage before splitting in 2013 as rumours circulated that Kutcher had not been loyal.

Gigi Hadid and Leonardo DiCaprio

The whole world is waiting and watching the potential relationship between model Gigi Hadid, 27, and Leonardo DiCaprio, 47.

The Titanic star has started a name for himself for only going out with girls under 25, despite now nearing 50 himself.

The trend continued after Leo broke up with Camila Morrone on her 25th birthday earlier this year, but raised some eyebrows as he has been seen getting to know Gigi Hadid in the aftermath.

Aaron and Sam Taylor-Johnson

Sam and Aaron first met on the set of the 2009 film Nowhere Boy when the Kick Ass actor was only 18 or 19 years old alongside the 32-year-old director.

The pair got married despite the criticism of their 23-year-age gap in 2012 at Babington House in Somerset.

They now share two beautiful children - Wylda Rae and Romy Hero Johnson.
