Finding a person to share your life with is something that can happen at any time. Some people meet early, have long engagements, and so on. In the twists and turns of life, others find each other later in life, sometimes past the age of forty or even later. The phrase “love has no age” also applies to engagement and saying “I do.”

Bright Side, keeping this in mind, compiled a list of celebrities who found love in late adulthood.
