Whether you're impressed or disgusted by big age gaps, they're a fact of life among celebrities and regular folk alike. Well, celebrities might be a little more partial to a chonky age gap, but they live on a different planet to the rest of us — and go by different rules.

Alec and Hilaria Baldwin

Age gap: 26 years

Hilaria Baldwin (age 40 years)

Alec and Hilaria Baldwin have been together for over a decade, despite a 26-year age difference and chance meeting when Hilaria was a young yoga instructor. The couple has six children together and have certainly had their share of trials (he “shushed” her during childbirth!) but are still going strong.

Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones

Age gap: 25 years

Catherine Zeta-Jones (age 54 years)

Michael and Catherine have always attracted attention as a result of their age gap, but they've held strong for more than two decades. So what if he looks like he's been re-animated? He's rich, has a sexy wife, and probably doesn't give a flying hoot.
