They say true love can overcome all difficulties. No big age gap, unequal status in society, or life trial matters when people truly love each other.

The heroes of this Bright Side article are really lucky. They found love despite their circumstances, and their stories inspire others today.

The story of Bennifer began in 2001 during the filming of Gigli. And in 2002, the couple’s passionate affair started. They were in a relationship for 2 years and even set a wedding date, but they announced that they postponed the ceremony for an unknown period of time just a few days before the wedding.

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel

Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake have been together since 2007. They look like a very harmonious couple despite their ups and downs. But in 2019, Justin was seen holding hands with his co-star, Alisha Wainwright.

The photos spread like wildfire through the Internet, and Timberlake was accused of cheating. The singer didn’t deny these allegations but confirmed that it was him in the photos, however, there was nothing going on between him and his colleague. Eventually, he publicly apologized to his wife, and she forgave him. 8 months later, the spouses became parents of a second child.

Riko Shibata and Nicolas Cage

In February 2021, Nicolas Cage married for the fifth time. Riko Shibata, who is 31 years his junior, became his wife. This is just another example of how a big age gap doesn’t have to stop a marriage from being a happy one.

Emma Krokdal and Dolph Lundgren

Dolph Lundgren began to date his personal fitness trainer in 2019. He’s 64, and she’s 25, but this age gap didn’t prevent them from finding common ground. The couple announced their engagement in the summer of 2021.
