3. Caroline Flack & Harry Styles: 17 Years Age Gap
15 years gaped between Caroline Flack of Xtra Factor, who was 32 in 2011, when she dated Harry Styles of One Direction, 17 at that time. This affair required some courage on Flack’s part who was conscious of people’s raised brows although found nothing untoward in her behavior.
4. Doug Hutchison & Courtney Stodden: 34 Years Age Gap

8. Mariah Carey & Nick Cannon: 10 Years Age Gap
More luck for Mariah Carey, although at the time not many boded well for her marriage to actor Nick Cannon (2008, 10 years difference).

9. David Schwimmer & Zoe Buckman: 19 Years Age Gap
The Friends star David Schwimmer dated a young college student in the film, maybe he liked the idea and decided to take a page off Friends’ book?

Douglas had wanted to father the Welsh actress’ children right from the start, and he had his wish granted, for they have two children. Funnily, there’s a wider gap between the husband and wife than between the wife and Douglas’ son who are meager 10 years apart – well, it’s just one of these things.
