When it comes to age gap relationships, everyoone and their brother has an opinion about how many years is too many years between a pair. Well, I'm here to tell you all enough is enough! It's time to just let people live.

There's Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones (25 years), George Clooney and Amal Clooney (17 years), Jay-Z and Beyoncé (12 years), Jason Statham and Rosie-Huntington-Whiteley (20 years), Heidi Klum and Tom Kaulitz (16 years), Sarah Paulson and Holland Taylor (31 years), Priyanka Chopra & Nick Jonas (11 years), Hugh Jackman and Deborra Lee-Furness (13 years) and of course, David Foster and Katharine McPhee (34 years).
