Unless you’ve been hidden under a rock the last few days, you’ve seen the splashy headline about Kimora Lee Simmons and Russell Simmons’ 21 year old daughter, Aoki Lee Simmons, “rumored” relationship with 65 year old restaurateur, Vittorio Assaf (well this picture is pretty damning!) 

Though the couple have reportedly since split, these two aren’t the first to date with such a wide age gap. “Age ain't nothing but a number, but age of consent is an important thing,” (or whatever Aaliyah said). 

Here are some other age gap heavy May-December relationships, past and present, that shook the interwebs.
