4. Felicity Huffman and William H. Macy
The secret to this long-lasting and successful marriage with a major age gap is their similar backgrounds and interests. They both grew up in the theater and had the same hobbies, leading to smooth sailing in the relationship. That is, until Huffman’s 2019 arrest related to the college admissions scandal. Still, they weather the storm and Macy wrote a letter to the judge saying that they’ve found a “wonderful family therapist” and that “every good thing in my life is because of Felicity Huffman.”
5. Camila Alves and Matthew McConaughey
Unsure that he’d ever meet “the one,” that all changed in 2006 when he met Alves at a club. She was a model at the time, and despite having a 13-year age difference, he knew she was a diamond in the rough. He even told People magazine that since that evening, he’s never wanted to spend time with another woman and claims the two have a love that they never question. The actor said being a dad was his only dream, and that dream came true when he had three children with Alves.
6. Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones
Though their relationship has been a rollercoaster since they met in 1998 at a French film festival, Douglas and Zeta-Jones are one of Hollywood’s happiest couples. They wed in 2000 after having their first child together, and in 2003 had a daughter. Zeta-Jones is also a step-mom to Douglas’ son from his previous marriage. Problems arose from Douglas’ throat cancer and his wife’s bipolar disorder diagnoses. After getting separated in 2013, they ultimately reconciled and are stronger than ever.
