The celebs whose lovers just keep getting younger from Tom Cruise to Kourtney Kardashian
WHEN it comes to relationships, some celebs have been embracing younger lovers for years.
And looking at the list of their former partners, you can see the age gap widening each time.
Tom Cruise, for example, married Nicole Kidman, who is only five years younger than him.
But he is 16 years older than his second wife Katie Holmes and has two decades on his Mission: Impossible co-star Hayley Atwell who he is rumoured to be dating.
There are many other famous faces who don’t mind the age gap – in fact, they’re loving it.
Yasmin Harisha looks at some of them.

Four years later, aged 42, Tom began dating actress Katie Holmes, 16 years his junior.
