controversy by engaging in relationships with teenagers he would just be silly with me and then he started kissing me number 20 Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith born to acting Legend Tippy hedrin Melanie Griffith was determined to follow in her mother's footsteps initially taking on minor roles in films during her teenage years one of these parts had Griffith playing a student in the Herod experiment where she crossed paths with the then 22-year-old Don Johnson I don't think this is going to work too well why not their relationship blossomed swiftly despite hedin's disapproval leading to their marriage in 1976 shortly after Griffith turned 18 however they divorced just 6 months later despite this fate brought them together again and they remarried in 1989 just what is it that you do that gives you access to unlisted phone numbers mine for example this second attempt at marriage lasted 7 years and resulted in the birth of their daughter Dakota Johnson who also stepped into the acting world number 19 Dane Cook and Kelsey Taylor in September of 2023 comedian danne cook raised eyebrows after it was announced that he had gotten married to his partner of 6 years 20 24-year-old Kelsey Taylor my girlfriend and I we get a lot of crap from people because we have an age difference I'm 46 and she's 20 this indicates that their relationship began when Taylor was 18 and cook was 45 to make things even more uncomfortable it appears the two had crossed paths long before meeting at a game night cook hosted at his place they then became quote friends for a while before getting romantically involved while it's not clear how old exactly Taylor was when this friendship began the 26-year age gap between the couple understandably left a lot of people feeling unsettled sometimes I actually find myself saying like where has she been all my life and then I realized she wasn't alive for the first 26 years of number 18 Tiga and Kylie Jenner rumors of a relationship between Tiga and Kylie Jenner began swirling in 2014 when the reality star was still under the age of majority and the rapper was 24 this is the first time I'm bringing a guy on a family trip so I'm a little nervous about how it's going to go at the time taigo was engaged to model Black China with whom he shares a son initially Chris Jenner dismissed the speculation claiming that the two were merely friends who moved around in the same circles and enjoyed each other's company however their relationship was confirmed in August 2015 conveniently coinciding with Jenner's 18th birthday this confirmation came after Taiga gifted Jenner a Ferrari and the two were spotted cozying up in Mexico theirs was an onag again off again Affair before ultimately ending for good in April 2017 wa number 17 Chuck Barry and Janice Escalante although many of the scandalous Affairs on this list escaped legal consequences this one remains one of the only exceptions rock and roll pioneer Chuck Barry was arrested in December 1959 on allegations that he had done the deed with an underage waitress named Janice Escalante he was also accused of transporting Escalante across state lines for what was deemed quote immoral purposes Barry maintained that Escalante had claimed to be 21 and that he had hired her as a Hostess for his St Louis nightclub despite this defense he was convicted in two separate trials and ended up spending nearly 2 years was in prison for the crime first of all I didn't transport anyone anyway I didn't solicit anything number 16 Ted nent and P Masa in 1981 Ted nent released the single jailbait which contained disturbing lyrics about engaging in unlawful contact with an underage girl with the consent of her [Music] mother it may have been interpreted as tongue and cheek if nent hadn't been in a very similar situation just through 3 years earlier in 1978 the hard rock musician started dating P Masa however as the two couldn't get married due to Masa being a minor nent reportedly convinced her parents to sign documents declaring him as her legal guardian and so the the Ted hating liberal press started quoting the High Times magazine and quoting an ex-girlfriend who claimed that I adopted her it seems Masa wasn't the only youth with whom nent had been involved musician Courtney Love also claims to have had a similar experience with him before she even became a teenager [Applause] they again number 15 Luke Bess and myw the 1994 film Leon the Professional revolves around the unconventional emotional bond that develops between a Hitman and a 12-year-old girl lean what exactly do you do for a living cleaner you mean you're a Hitman yeah cool the film which was written and directed by Luke Besson was reportedly inspired by besson's relationship with his ex-wife mwen the couple first met when myw was also 12 and Besson was 29 however they only officially began dating when she turned the age of consent in their native France they tied the knot the following year after myw became pregnant with their daughter although they parted ways a few years later their controversial relationship re-entered the news in the late 2010s amid allegations of sexual misconduct against Bon a 49-year-old casting director has claimed she was assaulted by bason number 14 Bill Wyman and Mandy Smith in 1989 Bill Wyman the then basist for the Rolling Stones married his second wife Mandy Smith who was 18 at the time things work out in the end if they're right and we always thought it was right at the beginning and uh here we are while that is legally permissible the circumstances surrounding their relationship raised a lot of questions according to Wyman he first met Smith after she'd just become a teen and he later fell in love with her they reportedly became involved shortly after however their marriage lasted only 2 years before they separated and eventually divorced their marriage lasted only 2 years and much of that was a sham followed by a bitter divorce last May because of his adultery adding to the complexity of the situation in the same year of the divorce Wyman's son from his first marriage tied the knot with Smith's mother this not only made him his son's former son-in-law but also his ex-wife's step-grandfather number 13 Charlie Chaplain and Lita gray by 1924 Charlie Chaplain was one of the most popular figures in the world having achieved great success with several box office [Music] hits while making his third film The Gold Rush chaplain got married to his second wife the teenaged Lita gray their marriage was sudden as gray had unexpectedly become pregnant through the then 35-year-old chaplain fearing potential legal repercussions in California due to the age difference chaplain opted to alope with gray to Mexico for a clandestine wedding despite producing two children their marriage ultimately soured culminating in a bitter divorce gray walked away from the union with a staggering $600,000 settlement a record sum for an American case at the time I think Charlie's real love was uh his character that he created really and anything that appeared to threaten that would bring out the worst in the man number 12 Jimmy pagee and Lori mad although Jimmy pagee had a well-known adult partner throughout the 1970s he also reportedly engaged in a secret relationship with a teenager between 1972 and 1975 he kept his favorite Lori Maddox under lock and key the teenager in question was Lori Maddox a former child model and groupy who began seeing Paige in her early teens according to Maddox she initially had little interest in the musician but was taken to his room by the band's tour manager against her will he told me he was going to be with me and I said no he wasn't and he said yes I am despite lasting over 2 years Paige made extensive efforts to conceal the relationship for fear of the legal consequences it wasn't until 2015 that it drew widespread attention after Maddox divulged her alleged encounters with several 7s Rock icons in a revelatory interview number 11 Woody Allen and Bobby Christina anglehart in his 1979 film man Woody Allen plays a divorced writer entangled in a secret romance with a teenager named Tracy excuse me she's gorgeous well according to actress Bobby Christina anglehart that plotline may not be entirely fictional in a 2018 Interview With The Hollywood Reporter anglehart claimed that she and Allen were involved in an 8-year relationship starting before she officially became an adult in 197 6 he was 41 and their 25-year age Gap didn't seem to be a problem for the famed movie director this period coincided in part with alen's public involvement with actress Mia Pharaoh although Allan has refused to confirm the existence of this relationship angle har believes that she very likely served as an inspiration for the character Tracy in Manhattan how did you react when you first saw the film I cried cuz I why I thought wow you know he won't help me in my acting career career he doesn't do anything for me but boy I'm I'm great subject matter number 10 Doug Hutcheson and Courtney stoden Hutcheson is an actor perhaps best known for 1999's The Green Mile but he re-entered the spotlight in a big way when he married the teenaged Courtney stoden in 2011 I got down on my knees and I said send me an angel please the two met online through an acting Workshop Hutcherson was teaching with the then 50-year-old apparently aware that his love interest was not even onethird his age stodden's mother approved at least at the time while Hutcherson lost his agent and was alienated from much of his family since tying the knot the pair have split reunited been expecting renewed vows and split again in 2021 stoden claimed that hutchesson had initiated contact with them over email and groomed them however hutchesson denies this asserting that they contacted him first I'm learning how to be a normal person number nine Henry caval and Tara King the handsome well-spoken Superman actor tends to keep a pretty low profile which made the gossip worthy 13-year age Gap with girlfriend Tara King all the more surprising in a new interview with El magazine he got candid about their 13-year age Gap telling the mag quote people say age is just a number it's actually real and a true sign of maturity after meeting caval at a London nightclub in 2015 King later accompanied him to the Batman versus Superman Premiere as well as a Vanity Fair Oscar party the actors spoke glowingly about his lady love in interviews throughout 2016 when asked what he and his lady love talk about he responded with everything but by the Year's End they had parted ways with King reportedly wanting something more serious than caval it wasn't the first ageg gapped relationship for caval either as oddly enough he himself dated a 32-year-old when he was 19 number eight Paul Walker and Jasmine pillard gnell Paul Walker's accidental death was a shocker but amid the tragedy came to light a previously unnoticed detail about his life his girlfriend's age Jasmine pilard gnell was 23 when Walker died and having dated him for roughly 7 years that would make her underage when her relationship began with the then 33-year-old actor the two were even rumored to have gotten engaged back in 2009 when she was 19 and he was 35 according to Perez Hilton although just 8 years her senior Jasmine took on a step-motherly role to Walker's daughter Meadow a bit of math and a few details involving ex-girlfriend Aubriana Atwell suggest that pire gnell was not the first teenager that an adult Walker had been involved with according to a 2013 interview when she was 28 the pair had known each other for a Dozen Years number seven are Kelly and Aaliyah Age ain't nothing but a number M takes on an entirely different meaning considering the relationship between the song's adult producer and underage singer once I got up to Detroit I didn't have to hear her sing cuz she was glowing I knew she had it soon as she started singing that verified it our Kelly credited as the sole writer first met Aaliyah when she was a pre-teen and assumed a mentor role in her life the controversial lyrics of the song sparked rumors that the two were romantically involved [Music] soon after a marriage certificate emerged showing that they had secretly tied the KN in 1994 as Aaliyah was only in her mid teens at the time rather than the listed age of 18 the marriage was rendered unlawful and was promptly annuled by her parents both parties initially denied the wedding ever happened but Aaliyah later admitted to falsifying her age why didn't the culture say something is wrong number six Jerry Seinfeld and shash lonstein the fictional Jerry Seinfeld has had many notable romantic interests a deaf woman a phone sex operator a supermodel a woman who always wore the same outfit a woman with man hands and many more the actual Jerry Seinfeld dated a high school student within weeks after their first date friends and neighbors grew accustomed to seeing Jerry pull up in a limousine outside of their apartment building where shashana lived with her parents and her brother meeting her before she turned 18 and rollerblading Seinfeld and shashana lonstein became tabloid regulars and Howard Stern fodder the two were an item throughout her University days and Jerry also allegedly made two attempts at engagement including a proposal on her 21st birthday however they also broke up at least once during their couplehood before splitting for good in 1997 after roughly 4 years together I do think he really cared about her but it doesn't change the fact that it's creepy that he tried to get with her when she was so young number five Sunny Bono and Sher they say young and we don't know it's doubly impossible to believe that Sher was ever a teenager and that Sunny Bono was capable of dating her but it's true all of [Music] [Applause] it I got you by then a high school dropout a teenage chair was a dancer keen on cracking into toobz when she met sunny in November of 1962 he instead hired her as a housekeeper but eventually found her work as a backup singer I just was this kind of wild child and he had been married once and he was 28 and had been in the music business and had been trying to be a singer forever after about a month of living together the two became involved culminating in an unofficial and non-binding wedding in Tijana in October 1964 when she was 18 a real wedding followed in 1969 after the birth of their child Chaz Bono number four Sam Taylor Johnson and Aaron Taylor Johnson freshly divorced and deep into directing her debut feature film Nowhere Boy the then 42-year-old Sam taylorwood fell for her star then 18-year-old Aaron Johnson don't tell MIM please this is our secret promise me although Johnson was just 7 years older than her eldest child the pair H it off and by the film's premiere in October 2009 were officially engaged marrying in June of 2012 the couple both took on the name Taylor Johnson and also adopted a one film per year policy which allows either of them to work while the other raises the family and tends to the Garden in Aaron's case he enjoys his fathering and gardening so much that he once contemplated retiring from acting what inspires you Sam Aaron number three Renee anel and selin zon although they were ultimately together until his death in 2016 the beginnings of the anel zon Union saw zon meet Anil when he was 38 and she was not yet a teen she was 12 she was 12 with Dion seeking management Renee not only took selenon as a client but also put up his house to bankroll her debut album when she was around 17 or 18 zon began to have feelings for the older Rene despite him still being legally married they began secretly dating in 1987 and while Selin's mother was initially opposed to the courtship it actually had more to do with Rene's prior failed relationships than the whole position of authority thing or the massive age Gap had you fallen in love by then I was in love a long time before that number two Jerry Lee Lewis and Myra Gail Brown Jerry Lee Lewis has been married many times but the only one that lasted in the public memory was wife number three the teenaged first cousin once removed Myra Gail Brown the discovery of Lewis's underage bride unsurprisingly completely derailed his career the Press had a Field Day denouncing 22-year-old Lewis as a baby snatcher busted at the beginning of a quickly aborted 1958 tour of the UK Lewis's booking fees dropped from $10,000 to $2 $50 per show while radio blacklisted him despite this the couple was married until 1970 by which time Brown had doubled in age and had given birth to two children how

Wagner I was with him when I was well 16 17 18 19 meeting in 1959 Elvis was smitten but was initially denied a second date when he broke her curfew regardless the couple dated until Presley returned Stateside in 1960 they then kept it up long distance until Priscilla moved to Graceland in 1963 they got engaged in 1966 and tied the knot the following year which according to Priscilla at least was also the first time they did the deed I'm much more comfortable with it now because I am my own person on my own right now Lisa Marie the couple's only child was born 9 months later which of these
