Legendary comedian Carol Burnett refused to feel bad for marrying her third husband, musician Brian Miller, in 2001. Miller is 23 years younger than the 78-year-old television star.
"Look at our friend Clint Eastwood [who married a woman 36 years younger], look at our friend -- I say, if it's good enough for the fellows, it's good enough for the girls," Burnett told Barbara Walters during an interview.
Ellen Barkin
Ellen Barkin has two loves in her life these days: Twitter and her 26-year-old boyfriend, Sam Levinson. Barkin, 57, first met the family when Levinson’s father directed the actress in Diner nearly 30 years ago.
The two haven’t been public with their relationship, though, with an insider telling Page Six that the two are "the worst-kept secret in New York."
They go out, they're photographed together, they don't keep it secret," said a source in May."It works, but it's weird," another said.Barkin is even acting in Levinson’s directorial debut -- Another Happy Day -- and she’s very open with her praise for the young scribe.
Mariah Carey
Mariah Carey’s first marriage to Tommy Mottola was one of the typical older man/younger woman relationships. She flipped the script on her second marriage, marrying Nick Cannon, who is 12 years her junior.Now, the pair have "dem babies" together and are happy.
Madonna
Madonna is now the poster woman for older woman/younger man relationships. She dated Brazilian model Jesus Luz -- 28 years younger -- for a year. The pop star is even 14 years older than the model’s own mother.
Jennifer Lopez
Jennifer Lopez isn’t exactly known for staying single long, so it wasn’t surprising when she was spotted with Bradley Cooper just days after her split from Marc Anthony.
The J. Lo and Cooper relationship may be over now, especially since the American Idol judge was just spotted with a hot young dancer, Casper Smart. The dancer -- said to be in his mid-twenties -- is on Lopez’s dance team and has appeared in Step Up 3D and Glee.
