Age Ain't Nothing But a Number
1 of 4 We Belong Together Chart-topper Mariah Carey got hitched to music executive Tommy Mottola, who was 2O years her senior and signed the Long Island, New York, vocal powerhouse when she was 18. In 1998, the two split and it was Carey’s turn to rob the cradle. One of her first young studs was New York Yankees star Derek Jeter, who was five years her junior. Despite the quick fizzle of their relationship, the pop singer’s affinity for younger men did not. Earlier this year, 39-year-old Carey shocked the world when she and actor–rapper Nick Cannon, 27, married after a whirlwind romance. - Charreah Jackson

I have been with the same man for the past 18 years and he is 2 yrs. younger than I am but we are very much in love. He is a great father to our teenage daugher and son. I think it is what you make it and how mature that person is. If they were raised with good values and morals I believe that it can work if family, friends and loved ones would stay out of their lives and first and foremost trust god and he has the final say at all times |

If there is an opportunity for a loving, trusting and stable relationship then why not pursue it! Sometimes we get caught up in the wrong things...like age. Let's focus more on if the person has some real substance or not! Continue the love! |

Marrying younger or older from a male or female perspective are different. My husband is 2 years younger, so basically we are within the same pop culture generation. 20 years is abit excessive; 20 years translate to a whole lifetime. Their is nothing sexy about a 50-60 yr old man, compared to a 25-30 yr old buffed out guy. Dreaming about getting into relationships with older men, can and mostly will turn into a nightmare. |

Speaking from experience I think that two people who share things in common and communicate on the same level and understand each other can always mature with each other and have a beautiful relationship. With respect of one anothers decisions and choices and communication, anything IS possible. |

I think it is wonderful that Sanaa has found love again. She really deserves to be happy and who cares if he is seven years younger. I think that love is great no matter what the age is and good luck to all of the couples who found love with someone younger. |

My fiancé is 20 years older than I am. He is 51 and I am 31. His swagger is very sexy to me. I love the way he treats me and always makes me feel desirable no matter what im wearing. He also apreciates my inteligence and welcomes it. His age was never important to me. What really touched me was when I decided to do the" BC" big chop. He told me it wasn't importanr how my hair was he would still find me beautiful! He loves my natural hair! That's what confirmed he was a keeper! Smile* |

I am seven years older than my husband. If you love someone age does not matter, it is how the person treats you that matters. I love Mariah Carey and I also like Nick Cannon. TYPE YOUR MESSAGE HERE |

I think it is romantic and exciting to marry someone older than you. I am 33 and I would love to date someone that is at least 40 or 50. Older men are more experienced in certain areas of life. Mariah and Nick looks beautiful together regardless of Mariah's age. Someone older than you can put a lot of steam and fire into a relationship. These days young men and women seek someone twice their age. Dating someone older than you is very hot and romantic! |

I am in a new relationship with someone who is 10 years younger than I am. But it is exciting and wonderful. I never thought that being with someone much younger than myself would be so fulfilling. But I am happy and so is he. I go for it. Sometimes you can't help who you love!!!!!!!!!!!!!
