According to the rules of so-called patriarchal marriages, the husband must be older than the wife. But the world is changing, stereotypes are crumbling, and marriages in which a woman is older than her husband are successfully proving their right to exist.
This review contains happy couples for whom there is no age limit and who have been happy for many years.
They never advertised their relationship, but the couple's fans rejoiced at their romance. In the spring of 2016, Ivan proposed to Pelageya, and in June they were legally married. Pelageya became Ivan’s true faithful companion. She met the wives of other hockey players and became keenly interested in this sport. In January 2017, Pelageya and Ivan became the happy parents of Taisiya.
The opera diva had already given up on her personal life by the time she met the Azerbaijani singer Yusif. The impetus for their romance was their joint work in Puccini’s opera “Manon Lescaut” on the Roman stage. The end of their work together and the subsequent separation turned out to be very painful for both, so already at the moment of the second meeting, Yusif hastened to propose to Anna. In December 2015, the lovers became husband and wife.
The actress initially avoided the advances of her colleague. The wound from the breakup with her second husband, Igor Petrenko, was still too fresh. And the age difference frankly embarrassed her. However, Gela managed to win her heart with his unobtrusiveness and at the same time tender care. He was always there at the right moment. The couple kept their romance secret for a long time; in June 2015 they legalized their relationship, and in September their daughter Bella was born. Now Ekaterina and Gela are raising four children together: three from the actress’s previous marriages and their little daughter.
Feelings between Yana and Evgeny flared up literally from the first meeting, which took place during preparations for Eurovision 2008. The producer was preparing Dima Bilan for a performance, and it seemed appropriate for her to have the famous figure skater participate in his performance.
Already in 2009, the lovers legalized their relationship. Yana and Evgeniy do not consider their age difference to be critical; both are sure that this is not the main thing in the relationship. The main thing, no matter how trivial it may sound, is the weather in the house, based on mutual love and respect between spouses.
The age difference does not at all prevent the spouses from being happy and raising four daughters: two from Sam Taylor-Wood’s first marriage and two children together. Aaron invariably supports his wife in all her endeavors and does not take his loving eyes off her.
They met when she was already 42 years old and he was only 19. Aaron played the main role in her film about John Lennon. By the time they met, she had gone through a painful divorce from her first husband and was able to overcome cancer twice. He literally persuaded her to marry him and not pay attention to the judgmental looks. The actor believes that he has a wise soul, and she has a young one. He tirelessly emphasizes that his wife and children are the meaning of his life.
The singer and football player consider the number 10 lucky for themselves. They were born on the same day, February 2, exactly a decade apart. They met in 2010 on the set of the singer’s video for the song “Waka waka.” It was this composition that became the anthem of the world football championship that same year. No matter how they tried to hide their relationship, they still had to reveal it, as required by the football player’s management. Since then, Shakira and Gerard have been the object of close attention from fans of the singer and football fans.
From time to time, rumors arise about their imminent wedding, but the lovers are in no hurry to the altar. As Shakira says, she is ready to give birth and raise an entire football team, but for now the couple has two sons growing up. It seems that Gerard and Shakira do not notice their age difference, but simply enjoy their happiness.
Today, September 23, Ivan Krasko celebrates his anniversary. On the eve of the holiday, the artist gave himself a truly “royal gift” - a wedding with his former student, who is 60 years younger than him. This caused a lot of talk. However, such an age difference is no longer nonsense today. the site remembered other couples where the spouse is much older than his other half.
Age difference - 30 years
Oleg Pavlovich went to Marina, breaking off his 35-year marriage with actress Lyudmila Krylova. Before this, the relationship between the venerable director and the then-beginning actress was a secret and had lasted for 10 years. Although Zudina did not want conflict in Tabakov’s first family, their romance should have received some logical continuation. The actor chose Marina. His children from his first marriage - Anton and Alexandra - suffered painfully from this divorce, and even refused to communicate with their father. Many predicted the collapse of this union.
However, the marriage of Tabakov and Zudina is already 20 years old, they have two beautiful children - Pavel and Maria, and their family is considered one of the strongest in domestic show business.

Before the romance began, Andrei and Elena collided several times - at parties, filming programs, and his performances. One day Urgant was invited to give a lecture at the University of Culture and Arts. Lena studied there in her fifth year. Then the artist looked at her with interest for the first time and noted how she had matured and become prettier. I invited you over for mushroom soup...
Today Elena is not only a companion, but also the director of a TV presenter.
It should be noted that Andrei’s son, the famous showman Ivan Urgant, is 8 years older than Elena, and prefers not to communicate with his stepmother.

The couple met 8 years ago during a beauty contest, where 17-year-old Rostovite Polina won the title “Miss Body”. Her young age did not bother the then 47-year-old TV presenter; he began to actively seek her favor, showering her with flowers and gifts. In 2009, Dibrov and Nagradova signed and got married. As the spouses assure, age is not a hindrance to their happiness, and they do not pay attention to the malicious attacks of the public.
In this union, three boys were already born. Polina devotes all her time to raising them. By the way, Dmitry has two more children from previous marriages. Let us remember that Polina is already Dibrov’s fourth wife. By the way, the previous wife was also 26 years younger than the journalist.

TV presenter Alexander Gordon and the granddaughter of Valery Akhadov, a famous director, Honored Artist of Tajikistan and Russia Nozanin Abdulvasieva, first met on the set of the film “Umnik.” The romance developed rapidly, and soon the couple got married. As 21-year-old Nozanin assures, she likes that her husband is older: “It’s easier to communicate with an older man who has already decided in life and has set his priorities.” The girl's family also easily accepted her son-in-law.
By the way, during the history of Gordon’s three previous marriages, he already had experience living together with a woman much younger than himself - Nina Shchipilova. And the main reason for the divorce from Nina was precisely the 30-year age difference.

The legendary musician and famous model have been together since 2003. Like most of our list, this is not the first union for Alexander Borisovich. Before Marina, the singer was married three times.
Gradsky saw Marina on the street and immediately decided to approach. Did the woman recognize the rock legend? Gradsky assures us that no. But a few days later she called on the mobile phone left for her...
The couple claims that during the 12 years of their relationship, not a single quarrel occurred between them, despite the difficult character of Alexander Borisovich, so the doom of marriages between people with a large age difference is a myth.

In 1996, fate gave the director, who already had four broken marriages behind him, a meeting with 23-year-old actress from Minsk Yulia Vysotskaya. By the way, Andrei Sergeevich himself admits that his character is not a gift. And, if he were much younger, it is unlikely that his marriage with Yulia would have been so long and lasting. But the experience gained in previous relationships saves you from many mistakes.
Today the couple are experiencing a tragedy - their daughter Maria fell into a coma as a result of an accident in 2013. This became a serious test for the marriage. As the media claimed, the family almost broke up. Today the girl’s condition is better, and Andrei and Yulia assure that all the rumors about a possible divorce are untrue.

The famous music producer, outrageous Bari Alibasov married his assistant Victoria Maksimova in 2013. At that time, the creator of the Na-Na group was 66 years old. And the girl is only 26. There was a scandal. Alibasov’s son, Bari Alibasov Jr., right on the air of the program where his father announced his engagement, called Victoria “an impudent and cunning bitch.” Allegedly, her motive for marriage is profit. As you know, Alibasov is not a poor man. It is also known that this is Bari’s sixth marriage, and all five previous ones did not last long. However, the young couple have been together for two years. You see, Victoria will become Bari’s “swan song”.
As we see, a big difference is far from uncommon, and not a hindrance to family happiness. True, no one has yet surpassed Ivan Krasko with his 60-year lead. We wish Ivan Ivanovich personal happiness and long life!

Recently, there are more and more unions in which the woman is much older than her companion. Someone looks at such a marriage with a grin, someone with sympathy, and someone is sure in advance that nothing good will come from such an “unequal” marriage. So is there a future for such relationships?European sociologists noted that already at the beginning of this century, in every third couple going down the aisle, the bride was older than her chosen one. And in the United States, a third of unmarried women date younger men. The reason for this is the current emancipation of women. Most often, a woman marries a man who is much younger, when she is not at all interested in the material side of the relationship. As a rule, such women have established careers, are provided with housing and a stable income. Consequently, support from a wealthy spouse is not so important to them. It's no secret that a modern woman can feed and raise children on her own, without the help of a man. Therefore, the basic instinct is freed from social layers, and the fair sex is attracted to the young and productive representatives of the stronger sex.
Myths about “unequal” marriage
The life of such a couple is under the close attention of others, and there are many who wish to do so who devote all their free time to discussing when this union will break up. Public opinion is much more loyal to married couples in which the husband is much older than the wife. Therefore, a woman who decides to throw in her lot with a young man will have to go through a lot of prejudices and abandon stereotypes before she stops paying attention to the age difference. Let’s try to understand the myths about “unequal” marriage that society imposes and understand that they have nothing to do with reality.
MYTH FIRST. Such a marriage is obviously of convenience.
If a man is a gigolo, this does not depend on age at all. Men of this type will not refuse to live at the expense of a woman until they are very old. And if a young man doesn’t have enough money to pay for dinner at an expensive restaurant, and he invites a woman to an ordinary inexpensive cafe, this does not make him a gigolo.
MYTH SECOND. The woman will become a “mom and nanny” for him.
With a husband of any age, a woman begins to play the role of nanny and housewife. In this case, most likely, everything will be just the opposite: the young man will try his best to prove that he is already an adult and knows a lot about everything.
MYTH THIRD. Sooner or later he will leave for a young girl.
A man can live in an ordinary marriage for twenty years, and then go to his daughter the same age. And there are many examples from life. No one can guarantee a long-term marriage. Therefore, it is better to simply live with your loved one without stupid prejudices.
MYTH FOUR. Marriage of peers is the most stable.
Statistics say the opposite: about 50% of marriages of the same age break up. The reason is the sexual incompatibility of the young couple. The young wife is not yet ready for her husband’s sexual activity and does not accept it. Therefore, families where the husband is 10 or more years younger than the wife do not suffer from such problems.
The advantages of such a marriage
Sexologists and psychologists argue that such “unequal” marriages have many chances for stability and longevity. The fact is that in such a marriage, the husband’s age encourages the woman to take extra care of her appearance, and besides, the young husband’s libido is at its best, which undoubtedly benefits both. On average, the peak of sexuality in women occurs at the age of 30-40, and the sexiest age for a man is 18-25 years. That is why often an adult woman who has gotten on her feet prefers a younger partner. From a sexual point of view, this is the most equal marriage, satisfying the needs of both men and women. A sexually intense life can only benefit a woman at any age, and for older ladies, sex with a beloved young man will help her stay beautiful and healthy longer. And the most important thing is that in an alliance with a mature woman, a man “matures” himself faster, gaining confidence and worldly wisdom. Young men who continue to live in marriage with their more mature wife demonstrated high professional and educational growth to sociologists, although in such families the wife’s leadership often remains.
How to save a relationship
There are special requirements for a woman's appearance. A young husband is a reason to constantly keep yourself in good shape and take care of your appearance. A woman must always be at her best in order to successfully compete with young girls, so she tries to maintain youth and presentability for as long as possible - after all, appearance is of great importance, no matter how strong the love. Under no circumstances should you put your partner in the position of a child, no matter how inexperienced he may be. You cannot surround a man with hyperprotection. A man at any age feels the need for leadership, so it is important to encourage leadership qualities, and not immaturity.
If a woman begins to put pressure on her partner with her authority and takes the reins of power into her own hands, then sooner or later the man will find a less demanding lover. You shouldn’t relax, because an “unequal” marriage has a greater chance of falling apart in the first three years of its existence. Look for the advantages of such a relationship in stable feelings, the absence of hysterics, accusations and suspicions. You shouldn’t be jealous of your partner just because he’s younger, and don’t be like twenty-year-old girls who are ready to cause a scandal at the slightest reason. You must remember that jealousy is the number one enemy of your relationship. And do not forget that age imposes an obligation to be wiser.
There is no need to tell a man about your fears; forget once and for all the phrase: “When you grow up, you will leave me.” There is no need to make a toy out of a man. If an adult woman reduces the whole meaning of marriage to the fact that she does not skimp on financial expenses and gifts for her young husband, and in return only expects sex, then the man will sooner or later get tired of it. Without trust, sincerity and understanding, no relationship will last long.
Examples of a happy “unequal” fight
Of course, happy “unequal” marriages exist! And there are many examples of this. Princess Elizaveta Petrovna was eighteen years older than her second husband. They lived happily for twenty years in a secret marriage. Balzac and Laura de Bernis, who was twenty-two years older, had been together for a long time. At the age of seventeen, Prophet Mohammed fell in love with forty-year-old Khadija, his first wife, and loved her for many years, even when he had numerous younger wives. Popular singer Claudia Shulzhenko was twelve and a half years older than her husband Georgy Epifanov. He carried this love throughout his life.
In a word, if a woman is older than a man, then such a couple is doomed to a happy future and the severity of disagreements at the same time, like any other couple. In fact, you shouldn't pay attention to age, because human years are just numbers. And age is judged by the state of one’s soul and way of life. Therefore, look for a person who will become a faithful and reliable support in life, will delight the soul and eye, and will be able to share one life between two. And let your age difference be large or small, or maybe it simply won’t exist, because the most important thing is love. And as you know, all ages are submissive to love! Where there is this bright feeling and desire to be together, there will be no reason for quarrels and separations.
According to the traditions that have developed among almost all peoples of the world, at all times men preferred to marry young girls. And this happened for many centuries.
Such a choice for a man was considered quite natural. After all, the spouse was seen as a breadwinner and hunter. He had to support his family, and therefore he must already be an adult and accomplished person. The young wife was assigned the role of a caring wife, giving birth to children for her husband and giving him rest from business.
Of course, such marriages were not always ideal. The fact that the man was older than the woman can be seen as both pros and cons. However, times have changed. Today, it is increasingly possible to find marriages where the woman is 10 years older than the man, or even more. Moreover, this does not cause any particular surprise to anyone. How strong are such alliances? What problems await couples of different ages? Let's try to understand this issue.
What do statistics say about families where the wife is 10 years older than the husband? According to her data, the number of such marriages is growing steadily. For example, in the capital of Russia, Moscow, 60 thousand new families are formed in just one year. Of these, almost 1 thousand are marriages in which the woman is 10 years or more older than the man. Data from Moscow sociologists indicate that there are also a large number of so-called civil unions of different ages. There are five times more of them than those officially registered. It is interesting that the leading place in the world in the number of marriages of different ages, where the partner is older than the man, is occupied by the city of Philadelphia (USA).
What are the most common types of marriage relationships with a woman 10 years older? In this case, not only age plays an important role. The psychological characteristics of each spouse are of great importance for building relationships in the family. Not least of all are the personal characteristics of the partners, as well as their value system.
Experts are confident that you should not tie your relationship only to age. The fact that the wife is 10 years older matters only when it affects almost all areas of married life.
The strength of such an alliance depends to a large extent on the perception of age (both one’s own and the partner’s), as well as on the distribution of leadership roles in the family. The sense of mutual respect, as well as the self-esteem of each spouse, also becomes important. And this, as a rule, depends on the level of culture that people have, on their life values and attitudes.
Why do men strive for marriages of different ages? The woman is older and therefore more experienced. Many representatives of the stronger sex simply like it.
Very often, brides turn out to be older than their grooms, if they have a mature woman who already knows exactly what she wants. She is distinguished by her openness and life experience behind her. She does not hide her aspirations, and in this regard, a man is very interested in her in all respects. For him, such communication is also an excellent life school.
In addition, the fact that a man fell in love with a woman 10 years older may indicate his unpopularity among women his age. In such cases, such young people often develop comfortable and very reliable relationships only with mature ladies.
If a woman is 10 years older than a man, then she is most likely already established professionally and has managed to achieve success by climbing the career ladder. A good job allows her to be financially independent and not need financial support from her husband.
How is this issue addressed in psychology? A woman 10 years older than a man, with her financial independence, will definitely act as a teacher. Her partner will play the role of a student. In other words, in such relationships, desires that are unconscious to both partners will always be realized. One of them (namely a woman) will strive for leadership, and the second (a man) will strive for submission. In cases where both partners have precisely such motives, their relationship will be quite comfortable.
It is known that sexual relations play an important role in any marriage, including those of different ages. What does psychology say about this side of the issue? A woman 10 years older than a man, with a fiery temperament, needs the attention of her partner. Her desire to have an active sex life is not always able to be satisfied by her peers. That is why, most often on a subconscious level, such a woman begins to search for a young partner. Moreover, during intimate meetings she is not at all a passive participant. Most often, such ladies act as an equal partner or even a leader.
How else can you explain the emergence of a relationship when the woman in the couple is 10 years older? The reason for this may be an exaggerated maternal instinct. After all, such women are already independent and adults. Some of them were unable to realize themselves in motherhood, while others’ children have already grown up and do not need their care. In this case, a young man can act as a child.
This type of marriage is considered complementary. This name comes from the French word complementaire, which means “to complement.” The relationship between spouses in such a marriage is built in the form of “parent-child”. In other words, the woman in such a relationship performs parental functions.
What are the reasons for such marriages? They lie in the personality structure of the husband and wife. As a rule, these are people who are dependent on relationships and have unmet needs for affection and parental love.
If an unequal marriage is concluded and a woman is 10 years older than her partner, then psychologists argue that such an age difference makes such a union more vulnerable. Of course, real feelings can arise between people. But it is known that all ages are submissive to love. However, not all the most romantic, passionate and vibrant relationships can pass the test of truth. Some of them are destroyed under the influence of everyday life and everyday life, others are defenseless in the face of the inexorably flowing time, some have irreconcilable contradictions, and others cannot withstand the difficulties that come with the birth of a child. At the same time, psychologists are of the opinion that in families in which the spouse is younger than his other half, the chances of a happy existence decrease as the age difference between husband and wife increases.
Of course, marriages between peers are not immune from trials. And this is confirmed by current divorce statistics. However, in those unions where the age difference is not in favor of the man, there are many additional risk factors.
Is it worth building a relationship with a woman 10 years older? Many young men are attracted to such ladies by their self-confidence, self-reliance and independence. But it is worth keeping in mind that these qualities are not always a positive side for family life. In a house where matriarchy reigns, a man unwittingly plays second roles. Of course, for the time being this may suit him completely. However, after the spouse feels sufficiently mature and self-sufficient, conflicts will certainly arise.
There is one more point that has to do with children. If mom is 10 years older than dad and controls him, then the child will certainly feel the decline in his father’s authority. Naturally, this will definitely affect his relationship with him. At the same time, the man’s self-esteem as a father will also suffer.
Sometimes, when a woman is 10 years older than a man, she begins to overprotect and lecture her husband. And sometimes the wife tries to become the favorite “girl” for her lover. In this case, the relationship becomes invalid and cannot be harmonious. So, if a woman communicates with her young husband as a mother, then in return she receives devotion and respect from him. In such a situation, the wife does not seek to have children, because her husband plays the role of the child. While helping in the formation of her own “I,” the wife most often forgets about her interests and her life. She becomes so focused on her husband's desires and feelings that she ceases to understand her own desires and feelings.
According to psychologists, such a risk can be avoided. But at the same time, a woman should not talk to her lover as if he were a small child. She shouldn’t clearly emphasize the age difference, as well as her wisdom, success, experience, stress resistance, and life experience. After all, husband and wife are first and foremost partners. And ideally, they should communicate as equals, based on the “adult-to-adult” model. Moreover, this should apply to all aspects of life.
If a woman is 10 years older, the compatibility of the spouses is sometimes questionable due to the fact that they are not representatives of the same generation. So, a young husband may like noisy companies, where he will strive with all his heart. The wife will like quiet evenings and home comfort.
Or she prefers the theater, and he loves computer games, etc. If there are no common interests, then such a fact will certainly make the age difference even more noticeable. In this case, there is a high probability of significant disagreements between the spouses.
As a rule, a man matures significantly later for fatherhood than a woman for motherhood. And if the wife is 10 years older than her husband, then this problem gets even worse. A mature woman has an urgent need to become a mother and give birth to a child. But the future father, most likely, believes that he still needs to “live for himself,” that he is “not ready” or “hasn’t gotten back on his feet.”
Well, if the child does appear, then the man who is accustomed to the tender care of his beloved suddenly discovers that he lacks attention. This fact is a classic cause of intrafamily conflicts.
If the wife in the family is older than the husband, then she most likely already has experience in building marital relationships. Most likely, she already has children. Of course, this situation is quite common. However, such a child, without even suspecting it, is a kind of catalyst for marital relations. And if there are hidden problems in the newlyweds’ relationship, they will certainly discover and aggravate them. Often, the presence of a child separates two people who with all their hearts want to be together, but are not able to overcome the difficulties that arise together.
According to psychologists, a woman who marries a man much younger than herself seeks to increase her self-esteem. And this is quite natural. After all, it is unlikely that a spouse who is not confident in herself will be a good wife. She will begin to suspect the man of infidelity and will demand any evidence of the sincerity of his feelings. In addition, her grievances will arise literally out of the blue. However, not all women are able to remain confident in themselves at the moment when they begin to show signs of aging, and the husband enters the period of heyday of attractiveness. It is also sad that many young spouses, over time, suddenly begin to realize that their marriage was unsuccessful and “trial”.
It has long been established that partners living together over time become very similar to each other, not only in character, but also in appearance. At the same time, because of his age, the young spouse will face greater changes than his significant other. A man will make every effort to grow to the level of his betrothed. The woman will certainly help him in this, passing on her life experience, as well as the wisdom that has already come over the years. She constantly pushes and inspires her loved one to new achievements, while protecting and supporting him. Without wives who play the role of an older friend, such men feel lonely. Psychologists note that it is in such couples that the partner quickly achieves self-confidence, achieving positive results in his emotional state, as well as in climbing the career ladder.
The role of the young spouse is also important. He brings romance into family relationships, and also introduces his wife to modern trends, for example, those related to computer technology. Due to his age, such a husband will not limit a woman’s actions, nor instruct or reproach her. The wife will really appreciate it. With such a husband, she will certainly feel confident and freer.
Based on this, it can be argued that a marriage in which a woman is 10 years older than a man is beneficial to both. The wife supports and “raises” her loved one, cultivating useful qualities in him and helping him get back on his feet. For a woman, such a marriage is good because her life becomes filled with meaning. It increases self-esteem due to the feeling of self-worth. Being near a young man, she feels more confident, joyful, young and free.
Many psychologists are familiar with the mood of women married to younger men. Such ladies, from the very beginning of the relationship, begin to prepare themselves for the fact that their union will certainly fall apart. Women are more than confident that they only have a few years of marital happiness ahead of them. And they agree to this. However, psychologists warn that such an attitude can lead to underlying self-doubt. In this case, the woman will begin to get nervous, feel powerless, or become depressed. The cause of all these conditions is the fear of losing the betrothed, which can force the spouse to make quite serious mistakes. Psychologists recommend never reminding a man that he is younger. In addition, the spouse should not give vent to her jealousy. Indeed, in this case, her partner will feel like a puppy who is kept on a short leash. The absence of external negative emotions will allow you to maintain love and respect in the family.
Often a woman, on a subconscious level, prepares herself for an inevitable divorce, believing that it simply cannot be otherwise. In this case, psychologists recommend remembering that a person’s thoughts are material. That is why they recommend giving a slightly different attitude, which will be more optimistic. Of course, relationships in marriage certainly develop, successively passing through various stages. They simply cannot be perfect all the time. The transition from one stage to another is accompanied by a series of crises. And this is commonplace for any relationship and couples, regardless of the age of the spouses. Of course, the age difference can become a problem. However, it is the same for those families where the wife is older than the husband and for those where she is younger than him.
Psychologists believe that you should not give up on relationships that are considered to have no future. There is no single recipe for making decisions about whether such a marriage should exist or not. Everything will depend on the specific case. After all, all ages are submissive to love. This feeling is not subject to any rules, and there are no boundaries for it. If a woman wants to be desired and loved and knows how to achieve this, then she will certainly save the family. After all, unions created on sincere and mutual feelings cannot be hindered by any restrictions. Each couple has their own formula of love and ideal relationships, which allows them to be together. But if this is not the case, then the age difference, which is significant, will only speed up the separation.

The skater admits that he, like many men, used to love dating younger girls, but now he is not afraid to be led by his wise wife. The future spouses met during preparations for Eurovision 2008, in which Rudkovskaya’s ward Dima Bilan participated. The artist’s performance featured Evgeni Plushenko and violinist Edwin Marton. The guys brought Russia victory in the song competition, and for Plushenko this triumph became a double celebration, because he managed to win Yana’s heart. Just a year later, the lovers had a magnificent wedding, and on the eve of Christmas 2013, baby Sasha was born into the family.

It would be strange not to see Madonna on this list - all the diva's last boyfriends were younger than her. The artist herself explains her choice simply: you see, her peers have been married for a long time and have children. From the last more or less serious relationship, we remember the dancer Timor Steffens, with whom there was a difference of 30 years. Madonna met Timor at a New Year's party at Valentino Garavani's villa. Their romance lasted seven months. Before this, the star dated another young and hot handsome man - 25-year-old Frenchman Brahim Zaibat.

Galkin became the fifth husband of the Prima Donna, who no longer hid her sympathy for younger men (the artist’s previous husband, Philip Kirkorov, was 18 years younger than his wife).
