Family experts believe that for a successful marriage and happiness in it, the age difference between spouses should not exceed six years. At the same time, it is better if the man is older than his wife, and not vice versa. But life has its paradoxes. The emergence of love unions is famous for its unpredictability, it is not amenable to miscalculation, it does not fit into a rigid framework, it ignores the arguments of reason and convention. It often happens that Cupid's arrows strike seriously and give impetus to the relationship of couples with a significant difference in dates of birth, that is, ten years or more. Especially in recent times, marriages of unequal age often break into the show business environment. Perhaps the clue to the reasons for this trend lies in the emotionality of creative natures.

Alla Pugacheva: late novels

On the Russian stage, the personal life of the Diva over the past couple of decades has been especially famous for surprises. Everyone knows the eccentricity, talents and passionate nature of Alla Borisovna. And it is not surprising that all these qualitiesattracted men. And if you list marriages of unequal age among celebrities, then you can’t help but mention Pugacheva’s two high-profile novels, which attracted the liveliest and genuine interest of her fans.

The relationship of this outstanding woman with Kirkorov has always been famous for romanticism and true sharpness of feelings. Philip showered the singer with love confessions and bouquets of roses. They lived in a happy marriage for more than a decade, although the wife was older than her husband by as much as 18 years. Their family life is over. However, Philip still remembers Alla and the years spent with her with tenderness, awe and love. And this despite the fact that they got married when Pugacheva was already 45 years old. And the famous singer divorced her young husband when she had already exchanged her sixth decade for a long time. At the same time, it was she who exchanged her ex-husband for a younger applicant.

Pugacheva and Galkin

Prima Donna and pop artist, parodist and showman Maxim Galkin registered their marriage, already knowing each other for more than one year. According to them, love broke out here not at first sight. The real feeling came only with time. And in another stellar marriage, the wife turned out to be 27 years older than her husband, which could not but amaze those around.

For his beloved wife, Maxim built a very impressive family nest, which is an impressive, fabulously priced castle. And besides, he laid out hundreds of thousands every month for the maintenance of this architectural "monster", while spending money on his missus. ResidenceThe couple is located in the village of Gryaz, and the couple in love spent many happy days there. From their marriage, the twins Harry and Lisa were born, who were born, however, not without the help of the achievements of modern medicine and a surrogate mother.

However, as often happens in marriages of unequal age, this union did not turn out to be completely successful. There are persistent rumors that the couple broke up. And the reason was the betrayal of a young husband.

Late love of Nadezhda Babkina

Unions, when the husband is 25 years younger than his wife, always attract attention and seem scandalous to many. In this sense, the relationship between folk singer Babkina and vocalist and composer Yevgeny Gor can be considered especially remarkable. Here, the man not only turned out to be 30 years younger than his chosen one, but also 5 years younger than her son.

Nadezhda met her new passion at a music competition held in Saratov. Then the young man was only 23 years old. At first, Eugene's union with the performer of Russian songs seemed extremely creative. But soon, as it turned out, the unity of talented natures grew into something more. The response to the official announcement of their relationship was grandiose, but ambiguous. The couple was accused of insincerity of feelings, there were rumors about their constant disagreements, including scandalous litigation over money. However, Nadezhda and Eugene have been together for more than ten years.

2016 gave rise to a new wave of rumors about a breakup between Babkina and Gor. But there is no real evidence for such speculation.followed. It should be noted here that the couple is only in a civil marriage. And Eugene has repeatedly stated that he values \u200b\u200bhis freedom too much for these relationships to ever be officially registered.

Pros of such unions

A strong reason for age-unequal marriages, when a woman of considerable age chooses a young companion as her wife, often, according to psychologists, is the partner's dissatisfaction. There may be emotional overtones, perhaps even sexual ones. And this vacuum of lost passions cannot be filled by a mature man, whose ardor and thirst for love adventures are already beginning to fade with age for natural reasons.

This is very characteristic of temperamental, creative and passionate in expressing feelings to the representatives of the weaker sex. And from the point of view of physiology, this is largely justified. Then, unequal unions of mature women have a beneficial effect not only on their personal happiness, but may well meet the needs of the chosen ones. After all, it is known: in women, the peak of sexual desires falls on later years. And the partner's emotionality helps to raise a man's self-esteem. Honore de Balzac wrote about this, who, by the way, and this circumstance is well known, also preferred mature mistresses in his youth.

Besides this, there are other advantages in such unions. If a woman is older, she is independent both morally and financially. And often in adulthood seeks to patronize inexperienced men, help with advice andmoney. The wife becomes a reliable mentor for her husband, and he finds a great way to get away from everyday and financial problems. In addition, there is hope for a good career.

Disadvantages of such unions

But such marriages are not perceived adequately by everyone and are often condemned by others. People gossip about the fact that the young married the old for selfish reasons, she is also accused of lack of moral principles.

But condemnation from the outside, of course, is not at all the main negative component of such unions, which poisons the lives of spouses. An aging woman simply cannot but be jealous of a young lover for girls of approximately the same age category as him. And such impulses often turn out to be quite justified, and oppressive and sleep-depriving suspicions are by no means groundless. And the husband is not always so passionately in love with his wife, who is losing her attractiveness every day, to ignore the call of nature. In addition, it is difficult for such, in a sense, unnatural couples to have children. But it is this factor, as recognized by many, that holds together a real family union.

Old husband and young wife

Most of the girls, entering into marriage, seek to find in the narrowed a strong shoulder, support and protector for themselves. They want to see in their husband a decent family man and a loving father to future children. An attractive woman at a relatively young age, as a rule, wants her husband to be financially secure, experienced in life and love. All these qualities can be found in a mature man. That'sthe reasons why young, even very young girls, choose their husbands by age much older than them. And if at the present time such unions are considered somewhat unconventional, a couple of centuries ago, the indicated marriage for girls was not only in the order of things, but was also considered the preferred choice. And no one was surprised that a rich grandfather got married, while taking a sixteen-year-old lady as his wife.

However, among the stars of show business, such precedents happen more and more often. Of course, the girls are not so immature at all. But it often turns out that a twenty-year-old beauty prefers an applicant at a very significant age. And there are more than enough vivid examples of this.

Tabakov's second marriage

The most famous Russian actor Tabakov met his second wife at the time when she was still his student at GITIS. Oleg Pavlovich was bribed in the girl by a genuine desire to reveal her talents, as well as extreme performance. Marina Zudina became his chosen one. Over time, she received the status of Tabakov's wife. But before that, their romance lasted, remaining a secret to everyone, for a long 10 years. And there were good reasons for this, because at the time of meeting Marina and during the development of relations, the famous actor was still in his first marriage with Lyudmila Krylova. Tabakov's new love was the reason for their divorce.

Later, Oleg Pavlovich and Marina were spouses for 20 years. And these years turned out to be happy and fruitful for both, despite the difference in age, which was three decades. The second wife of Tabakov, now a widow, has played many roles in theater and cinema. But the creative workload did not prevent the spouses from raising two joint children.

Gradsky knew happiness in his mature years

The famous singer and rock musician Alexander Gradsky officially married three times in his long life, but did not find real happiness. It came later in 2004, when he met Marina Kotashenko. At that time, she was a young twenty-year-old girl. Their age difference turned out to be very significant - 31 years. But this did not prevent happiness in love at all.

Gradsky's wife is a model and actress, she graduated from VGIK, played in many theater productions and received more than enough film roles. But in 2014, there was a break in her creative activity due to the birth of her son Alexander.

The joint child went to the parents with talents, so the mother expresses a desire to send the baby to an art school when he grows up. Gradsky considers his wife to be a great clever woman and is surprised that, with her beauty, she preferred him. But it just so happened. And most importantly, mutual understanding and love have arisen and continue to remain between the spouses, despite the difference in age and the vicissitudes of life.

Scandal love

When a wife is 15 years younger than her chosen one, in modern society this is considered almost in the order of things. Perhaps such marriages are not typical, but still they seem quite normal to people. Of course, such a difference in age, includingstar couples, inevitably gives rise to a difference in interests and worldviews, often becomes the cause of sexual disharmony. And this is a big disadvantage of such a relationship. And these negative aspects often lead spouses to misunderstanding, scandals and divorce, although not always.

But sometimes in the life of celebrities there are such love passions that people do not call such an unnatural romance otherwise than a criminal act. This is not just a contrast of ages: an old husband and a young wife, but something even almost criminal.

An example of this is Woody Allen's sensational love story. This American director, producer, actor and writer married his own daughter. Or rather, he was accused of it. Although in reality Sun-I, a Korean girl who turned out to be 39 years younger than Allen, was only an adopted child. And not even Woody himself, but his former passion Mia Farrow, with whom he was in a civil marriage. And it was like this.

The actress dated Allen for many years. Therefore, it was only natural that they cohabited, and he helped her in the upbringing of her children. Now it is difficult to say at what exact moment romantic feelings flared up between a mature man and a young adoptive girl. But when everything turned out, the scandal broke out serious. At the same time, the actress, by the way, rightfully, even accused her partner of pedophilia. And she had enough supporters in this matter. And moralists and journalists did not stop washing the dirty linen of the mentioned strange couple.

In those days, no oneof course, it could not have occurred to me that such a marriage would last more than 20 years. Currently, Woody Allen and Soon-Yi Previn continue to live in love and happiness, adopted two children and are raising them.

Celebrity paradoxes

This has already become a tradition. As soon as the rumor about another not quite typical love union among celebrities passes, a new scandal occurs in society. However, unequal marriages among stars do not necessarily turn out to be unhappy. And even vice versa, successful and lasting unions, as practice shows, are becoming quite common, despite all the predictions of gossips and moralists.

What is the secret? Perhaps the age difference is not the main thing? Much more important are the sincerity of feelings, the similarity of temperaments and the resulting harmony? But be that as it may, only time can serve as a test of any novel. It also tests the strength of feelings and the reliability of partners. And we should not forget that traditional marriages with a slight difference in age also very often fail. However, everything is so individual that even the most talented psychologist for love affairs and married couples is not able to make an unambiguous forecast.
