Someone once told me that isn’t the number of years in your life that matters, but rather it’s the amount of life in your years that counts.
That certainly seems to be the philosophy of some of Hollywood’s most well-known power-couples. Have a look and check out these 10+ female celebrities who are older than their partners.

Although you’d never guess it, Julianne is a little more than 9 years older than Bart.

Joan and Percy have been happily married since 2002 and have more than 30 years between them.

The couple has roughly a 16-year age gap between them, and have been married for more than 30 years. According to Tina, it was love at first sight.
Miranda Kerr
Miranda and Evan got married just a few short years ago in 2017. At 37-years-old, the gorgeous model is 7 years her husband’s senior — even though she doesn’t look a day over 25.
Oh, Miranda — what’s your secret?!
Sam Taylor-Johnson
Comic book fans will likely remember Aaron Taylor-Johnson from his roles in Kick-Ass , as well as Avengers: Age of Ultron .
He and Sam got married in 2012 and have four children together. Would you be able to guess there’s a 23-year age gap between the couple?
Jennifer Lopez
Jennifer Lopez has developed a bit of a reputation for her taste in younger men.
JLo’s recently retired beau to be, Alex Rodriguez, turns 46 this July. Which makes him a full 6 years younger than the pop singer.
Katie Couric
Katie Couric is one of the most respected journalists in the history of the media. She was instantly smitten with John Molner, even though he was more than 6 years her junior.
To hear Katie tell the story, she knew they’d be together from the very first moment.
Eva Mendes
Ryan and Eva met while they were filming The Place Beyond the Pines . They were married shortly after and have recently welcomed their second child into the world.
On paper, there’s a 6-year age gap between them. But I don’t buy it; no way that Eva’s actually 46.
Heidi Klum
Tom Kaulitz is a German-born musician and is more than 15 years younger than his paramour, Heidi Klum.
I’ve got to admit, these two look pretty darn adorable kissing on the bridge while walking their fur babies.
Cameron Diaz
I don’t know why but I always somehow manage to forget that Cameron is married to the Good Charlotte guitarist/frontman, Benji Madden.
In case you were curious, Benji is 41. Which makes him a full 7 years younger than his wife.
Priyanka Chopra
Priyanka Chopra could care less than there’s a little more than a decade between her and husband Nick Jonas.
According to Priyanka, what’s most important for her is that she and Nick tackle their relationship hurdles together.
Debora Lee-Furness
Few couples in Hollywood are as heartwarming and endearing as Hugh Jackman and Debra-Lee Furness. If you follow Hugh on Instagram, then you already know just how much he cares for Deb.
A 13-year age gap means nothing in the face of true love.
Lisa Bonet
Lisa was the childhood crush of Jason Mamoa growing up. He has said on multiple occasions how he fell in love after seeing her on The Cosby Show .
They’ve been married for a little more than 3 years now and have a 12-year gap between them.
Megan Mullaly
Can you believe that Ron Swanson and Tammy II are married in real life? No wonder they had such great chemistry on the set of Parks and Recreation .
There’s a little bit more than a 12-year difference between these two.
Tilda Swinton
Tilda is married to a German-born visual artist named Sandro Kopp who operates out of Scotland. Sandro’s work is a merger of digital and classical analog artforms.
They’ve been married since 2004 and have never once let their 18-year age gap interfere with their relationship.
Janet Jackson
As hard as it may be to believe, Janet is celebrating her 55th birthday this year. Her husband, Wissam Al Mana is a little more than a decade her junior.
Al Mana is a businessman based out of Qatar with an estimated net worth north of $1 billion.
Nicole Kidman
Nicole and Keith are both turning 54 this year, but technically Nicole will be the first to cross the milestone. Her birthday falls on June 20th, whereas Keith’s isn’t until mid-October.
It’s not a huge difference but it still counts.
Julia Roberts
Julia Roberts met her husband-to-be Daniel Moder on the set of The Mexican . Julia was starring in the film opposite Brad Pitt and Daniel was working as a cameraman.
In case you were curious, Julia is a year-and-a-half older than Daniel.
Kate Winslet
Edward and Kate were married in 2012, which means their 10-year-wedding anniversary is just around the corner!
There isn’t much of an age gap here; only about 2 years separates Kate from her husband — even though she looks 10 years younger.
Robin Wright
Robin and her new husband Clement initially turned heads when they first began their relationship together — probably because there are more than 18-years between them.
They’ve been married since 2018 and pride themselves on keeping their romantic life private.
Jennifer Connelly
Jennifer Connelly is almost exactly one year older than her husband, Paul Bettany.
I used to have the absolute biggest crush on Jennifer. She absolutely shines in Jim Henson’s cult classic Labyrinth . It truly is a must-watch movie.
Emily Mortimer
You’ll probably recall Emily from such films as Our Idiot Brother and Notting Hill . She and her husband Alessandro Nivola have been married now for close to 20 years .
Emily still looks incredible and is only one year older than Alessandro
Kerry Washington
Kerry’s husband Nnamdi Asomugha is a former NFL Cornerback; he spent the majority of his career between the San Francisco 49ers and the Philadelphia Eagles.
Though you’d never be able to guess it, Kerry is a full 5 years older than her husband.
Elizabeth Banks
Both Elizabeth and her husband Max Handelman turn 48 this year (what’s their secret?) but Elizabeth will be the one blowing out her candles first.
Also, can we take a moment to celebrate how awesome it is that these two love Braveheart this much?
Holland Taylor
Is it terrible that I associate Holland Taylor with George of the Jungle ? I know she’s a brilliant actress, that’s just always where my mind immediately goes.
She and fellow actress/partner Sarah Paulson have a whopping 32 years between them.
Goldie Hawn
Can we all agree that Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn are the greatest power couple in the history of Hollywood?
Goldie has still got it. Would you ever be able to guess that she’s 5 years older than Kurt?
Alison Brie
Who do you think wore it better; Dave or Alison? I would give the hair to Dave but Alison is just owning that bomber jacket.
These two relative newlyweds have a little more than 3 years between them.
Amy Smart
Can we all take a moment to appreciate just how truly picturesque this photograph is? As an Instagram husband, I can tell you firsthand that the caliber of this photo doesn’t come easy.
But back to the matter at hand; Amy and Carter Oosterhouse are only 5 months apart.
Kaley Cuoco
I think Kaley’s expression says it all: that haircut is something else.
Kaley and Karl got married in 2018 and have roughly 5 years between them. Although if you were judging strictly by Karl’s hair, you’d swear he came of age in 1985.
