The couple who shares a daughter called Harper met at a friend’s boat party and kicked it off straight away.

Lara and Sam Worthington: 10 year age gap

Australia’s darlings met in 2013 by chance at a festival in New York City, and they clearly knew it was love because, in 2014, they wed in a secret ceremony while Lara was six months pregnant with their son Rocket. The model spoke about her mum’s reaction to her speedy wedding, “I said, ‘Mum, I’m going to get married’. And she was like, ‘What?

Beyoncé and Jay Z: 12 year age gap

Music’s power couple met when Beyoncé was just 18, and they shared their first date at the famous Nobu restaurant.

Before the age of 25, I would never get married.”
