* According to the [[https://risehomestories.com/dots-home/characters/ official character page]] of ''VideoGame/DotsHome'', Alma is in her late 30's in the present day (2021), while Georgia is 29 since she was born in 1992. However, Dot doesn't comment on the fact that Georgia was 18 when she married Alma in 2010, so it's possible that [[WritersCannotDoMath the devs didn't properly calculate this questionable age difference when they first hooked up]].

* ''Film/TheIdeaOfYou'': There is a sixteen-year age gap between main characters Solene and Hayes when they start their romance. Both the book and the film deconstruct their relationship, showing that while their connection is genuine, they are in completely different places in their lives: Solene is a single mother who has for the most part settled down, while Hayes is a jet-setting pop star in the prime of his life. This causes friction between them, [[spoiler:and the end of their relationship when Hayes' fame intrudes too much on the normal lives of Solene and her loved ones. It's only five years later, when an older Hayes has begun to settle down himself and his fame has died down to a more manageable level, that he goes back to Solene with the intent of trying again]].

She got to stay off the radar of bounty hunters and he got an extra pair of arms on his horse farm, but they did grow to genuinely care for and love each other after some time. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, his love was not stronger than his pride, and when she bested him in sparring, he betrayed her.]]

* ''ComicBook/AntMan'': When Dr. Henry Pym first met [[ComicBook/TheWasp Janet van Dyne]] he was a widowed scientist well into his thirties and she was the daughter of a recently murdered acquaintance who was at most barely out of her teens (and [[DoppelgangerReplacementLoveInterest looked a great deal like his late wife to boot]]). His experimenting on her to make her a [[ScienceHerosBabeAssistant pseudo pixie sidekick]] eventually [[SidekickGraduationsStick worked out well for everyone]] but as far as the [[MasochismTango romance went]]... they turned out BetterAsFriends

* Donna Troy (the original ComicBook/WonderGirl) was in her late teens when she met her future husband Terry. He was 29 at the time, and her [[TeacherStudentRomance professor]] at that. Terry frequently joked about their age gap. Their marriage was short-lived as Terry didn't like how invested Donna was in being a superhero, so he divorced her and took full custody of their kids. Terry and [[DeathOfAChild the kids]] were later KilledOffForReal in a car crash.

** IN ''Literature/WhereAreTheChildren'', Nancy was significantly younger than her first husband Carl; she was an eighteen-year-old college student and he was a college professor when they got married (given how long it takes on average to become a professor, he would've been in his 30s at least). Nancy also came off as young for her years and was emotionally vulnerable, often letting Carl take charge and make decisions for her. Nancy's mother had expressed reservations about her daughter getting married so young to someone much older than her, though she died in a car accident shortly after the couple announced their engagement, with Nancy rushing into the marriage out of grief.
