Dating a younger person is something that can get you called out online, especially if it’s a large age-gap.
Now, celebrities are the most known for their age-gap shenanigans, but there are those who genuinely don’t care about the age of their partner.

The 37-year-old revealed that she made a pros and cons list to figure out whether it was a good idea to start dating Machine Gun Kelly at the time and his age might not have been on that list.
We've all been there, trying to figure out if this is what you want and it often requires some food for thought, but the star came to the conclusion that the relationship could work.
However, when she confirmed her relationship with Kelly, s*** hit the fan in the form of people calling out their ages.

The Till Death actor spoke about how her relationship began during an interview with Who What Wear.
She explained: "When I met [Colson Baker], I knew instantly that this is a soul I've travelled with before, that this was a soul-mate connection, and that there was a purpose here.
"There was my logical brain chiming and being like, 'This will never work for 101 reasons.'"
Interviewing Fox was Anna LaPlaca who went on to write: "She told me she even went so far as to make a pro/con list. In the end, her heart won out."

37-year-old Megan is four years older than 33-year-old MGK.

"The fact that he's four years younger than me, and people want to act like I'm dating a younger man. He's 31, and I'm 35.
"Granted, he's lived like he's 19 his whole life, but he isn't 19."
She then pointed out: "No one would blink twice if George Clooney was dating someone four years younger.
"Four years? Go f*** yourself."

MGK previously told The Howard Stern Show: "I didn't know what [love] was until me and her made eye contact. That's when I was like, 'Whoa.'
"I did fall in love for the first time. That was my first experience with being open to love and stuff like that. I definitely wasn't set up to believe that that's something that could ever exist."
