I watched my son’s SUV roll forward, hesitate for half a second—just long enough to pretend this wasn’t real—then pick up speed and disappear past the bend where the cornfields start and the town stops pretending it’s still the center of the world.

Celebrity Couples Who Prove Age Gaps Don’t Tell the Whole Story Age differences in relationships have always attracted attention, especially when the people involved happen to be famous. Some celebrity couples are only a handful of years apart, while others have differences of 20, 30 or even 40 years.
