Celebrity men aren’t the only ones who go after what’s young and hot in Hollywood. Sexy celeb women have helped get the term “cougar” published in the dictionary in it’s slang term — and with all of these women dating much younger, we’re surprised it hasn’t happened sooner!
Sharon Stone and Martin Mica: This couple shares a 30-year age difference, but they haven’t let that stop them from showing their love to the world! The duo have been dating for over a year and are still going strong despite rumors of a breakup that surfaced this past January. Mica was only six when Sharon Stone starred in Basic Instinct, but that was years ago, right?
Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon: Mariah’s first husband, Tommy Mottola, was over 20 years older than she was. Naturally, Mariah decided to go 11 years younger when she married Nick Cannon. These two haven’t let age compromise their marriage; they have been married over 5 years and have two adorable children together.

Julianne Moore and Bart Freundlich: These two have a 9 ½-year age difference, but the actress and director have two children together. Moore stated that when she first began dating Freundlich, she was unsure their relationship would work. But as their relationhip progressed, it didn’t remain as a standing issue.
Kathy Griffin and Randy Bick: This pair has a near-20 year age difference. The comedienne and her marketing executive-boyfriend met at a food festival over a year ago. Kathy says she “hunted him down.” Meow, cougar!
Danielle Fishel and Tim Belusko: These lovers just tied the knot on October 19 in Los Angeles. Their 7-year age gap doesn’t stop them from being happy and finding their soulmates; The Boy Meets World star had previously said, “Tim is the one. He accepts me for exactly who I am!”

Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart: Lopez is 18-years Smart’s senior, but these two have been going strong publically since July 2012. The singer revealed to Katie Couric, “It’s hard for me to think of my age… I feel very youthful… And it’s funny, until somebody brings up [the age difference], I don’t think we really think about it.” Well, we’re happy for them!
Dating younger is how some people reach Cloud 9 — and it’s not a bad thing. As long as these couples keep in mind that age is just a number, they will continue to be happily in love!
