According to the rules of so-called patriarchal marriages, the husband must be older than his wife. But the world is changing, stereotypes are crumbling, and marriages in which a woman is older than her husband successfully prove their right to exist. In this review, happy couples for whom there is no age limit and who have been happy for more than a year.
Pelageya (Pelageya Khanova) and Ivan Telegin
Difference: 6 years
They never advertised their relationship, but the couple's fans were happy about their romance. In the spring of 2016, Ivan proposed to Pelageya, and in June they were legally married. Pelageya became Ivan's true faithful companion. She met the wives of other hockey players and became keenly interested in this sport. In January 2017, Pelageya and Ivan became the happy parents of Taisia.
Anna Netrebko and Yusif Eyvazov
Difference: 6 years
The opera diva had already put an end to her personal life by the time she met the Azerbaijani singer Yusif. The impetus for their romance was the joint work in Puccini's opera "Manon Lescaut" on the Roman stage. The end of the joint work and the subsequent separation turned out to be very painful for both, so already at the time of the second meeting, Yusif rushed to propose to Anna. In December 2015, the lovers became husband and wife.
Ekaterina Klimova and Gela Meskhi
Difference: 8 years
The actress initially avoided the courtship of her colleague. The wound from the break with her second husband, Igor Petrenko, was still too fresh. And the difference in age frankly embarrassed her. However, Gela managed to win her heart with his unobtrusiveness and at the same time - tender care. He was always there at the right time. The couple kept their romance secret for a long time, in June 2015 they legalized their relationship, and in September they had a daughter, Bella. Now Catherine and Gela are raising four children together: three from the actress's previous marriages and their little daughter.
Christina Orbakaite and Mikhail Zemtsov
Difference: 7 years
They met on Mikhail's birthday in Miami. Since then, the businessman considers his meeting with Christina the best birthday present, and she herself does not hide her happiness. It should be noted that all the previous relationships of the singer with men never brought her down the aisle. The singer jokes that the fathers of her sons never thought about marriage, so she simply could not reject Mikhail's proposal. Michael became for Christina not only the first official husband, but also the father of their daughter Claudia. Despite the fact that Christina is older than her husband, he affectionately calls her a child, who can already begin to grow up. Christina frankly enjoys her happiness and does not hesitate to confess her love for her husband.
Yana Rudkovskaya and Evgeny Plushenko
Difference: 7 years
Feelings between Yana and Eugene flashed literally from the first meeting, which took place during the preparation for Eurovision-2008. The producer was preparing Dima Bilan for the performance, and she thought it appropriate to participate in his number of the famous skater.
Already in 2009, the lovers legalized their relationship. Yana and Eugene do not consider their age difference to be critical, both are sure that this is not the main thing in a relationship. The main thing, no matter how trite it may sound, is the weather in the house, based on mutual love and respect between the spouses.
Sam Taylor-Wood and Aaron Taylor-Johnson
Difference: 23 years
The age difference does not at all prevent the spouses from being happy and raising four daughters: two from their first marriage, Sam Taylor-Wood, and two children together. Aaron invariably supports his wife in all her endeavors and does not take his eyes off her.
Their acquaintance took place at a time when she was already 42 years old, and he was only 19. Aaron played the main role in her film about John Lennon. By the time they met, she had experienced a painful divorce from her first spouse and twice was able to defeat cancer. He literally persuaded her to marry him and not pay attention to judgmental looks. The actor believes that he has a wise soul, and she has a young one. He tirelessly emphasizes that his wife and children are the meaning of his life.
Shakira and Gerard Pique
Difference: 10 years
The singer and footballer consider the number 10 to be good for themselves. They were born on the same day, February 2, exactly a decade apart. They met in 2010 on the set of the singer's video for the song "Waka waka". It was this composition that became the anthem of the world football championship in the same year. No matter how they tried to hide their relationship, they still had to reveal them, as demanded by the football player's management. Since then, Shakira and Gerard have been the object of close attention from the singer's fans and football fans.
From time to time there are rumors about their imminent wedding, but the lovers do not rush to the altar. As Shakira says, she is ready to give birth and raise a whole football team, but so far the couple have two sons. It seems that Gerard and Shakira do not notice their age difference, but simply enjoy their happiness.
