There seems to be a stigma around women who aren’t afraid to date someone their junior. These women are often referred to as cougars, and their significant others are often labelled ‘Ben 10’s’ or ‘toy boys’. Here at GLAMOUR, we wholeheartedly believe in the saying “age ain’t nothing but a number!”
Scroll through to see a list of seven famous women who are dating and have dated younger men.
Candy Tsamandebele and Nonny D
Candy and her younger Nigerian bae are planning to release a song together, titled Siku ne Siku. We can’t wait to witness the pair’s chemistry when the track drops on Friday.

Cheryl and Liam Payne
Despite rumors of a split, and their ten year age difference, Cheryl and Liam appear to be going strong. Last year the couple welcomed a beautiful baby boy named Baer.

DJ Zinhle and AKA
Even though there were a series of factors that played a part in the demise of DJ Zinhle and AKA’s relationship, the former couple’s four year age difference was never one of them.

Ayanda Thabathe and Dash
We’re way too busy focusing on Ayanda and Dash’s red carpet style to focus on their four year age difference.

JLO and Drake
Remember that one time Jennifer Lopez was allegedly dating Drake? After the ‘If you had my Love’ singer called it quits with Casper Smart (who is eighteen years her junior) she moved on to rapper Drake. The relationship was very brief, and Jennifer has since found love with baseball shortstop Alex Rodriguez.

Kourtney Kardashian and Younes Bendjima
The eldest Kardashian sister and her beaux Younes Bendjima are in no way bothered or concerned about the fourteen year age gap between them. The genetically-gifted couple are often spotted traveling to exotic destinations around the globe. We’re just happy that Kourtney has finally moved on from Scott!
