Which Celebrity Relationship Most Mirrors Yours?
Do you and your significant other share an age gap a la Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones? Remain happily unmarried like Goldie and Kirk? What celebrity relationship is most like your own?
Admit it: you may be obsessed with the tawdry – and even the tame – details of celebrity couples. We live vicariously through the ups and downs of famous relationships. Under the looking glass of the public, the love lives of luminaries are on display. Yes, these popular partners are people, too, and their lives actually parallel our own, at least when it comes to love. What celeb couple does your relationship mirror the most?
Bridging the Age Gap
Several stars are romancing their elders and still going strong. Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones share a 25-year age difference, while Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher note a 15-year deviation. Much has been made of the age inequality in these couples, as each of the elders have children closer in age to their beloved. It’s true, generational gaps must appear at times in these age-blind cases, but it’s a good sign that these lovers can look past the superficial number of years on Earth. May–December couples must beware of the parent-child relationship, but can also delight in the complementary blend of age’s experience with the vigor of youth.
Low-Profile Partnerships
Healthy celebrity coupledom is sometimes attributed to a pair’s ability to keep low-key about the ins and outs of their durable interdependence. It’s evident when celebs put their relationship and family first, before their careers. Some couples who seem to exhibit the successful low-profile formula are Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, John Travolta and Kelly Preston, and Julia Roberts and Danny Moder. With children to hold it all down, these couples seem to focus on their family, their values, and their work together both on and off the stage.

Gene Simmons has both of best worlds, he's in a "relationship" with a woman, and yet can pretty much have sex with whoever he wants. Tom Jones has the same deal with his woman, except he's actually married (high school sweetheart I think), but he can only be with other women on hte road, not when he goes home to Wales.
My wife and I have an eleven year difference in age, she is older than I. She was a widow with three boys and we have a girl of our own. I have never felt that the age difference was a big issue. We have the same likes and dislikes and have been married for over 40 years. Commitment is very important to a good marriage and each one must be totally committed to the other. Marriage is not 50/50. It is 100/100!!!!!! I also feel that "Hollywood" is not the perfect scene to be held up as an example of anything. The good ones, true. But there are so few. I noticed that there was not a large list of any Hollywood couples for any of the examples. I also noticed that each celeb in their own way is financially independent and do not depend one on the other for financial support.
My wife is 19 years younger. I have children about 5 years younger then her, that think she is great. We also have a beautiful 3 year old. Our relationship has gone past the age difference. We have a great relationship, many of the same interests and a great sex life. Could you ask for anyting more? I believe I am pretty lucky.
