Something about older ladies has been tickling the minds of younger men for generations with manifold sportsmen and athletes marring older girlfriends as well
Young guys love guessing what experiences older women bring with them. Sometimes itโs not purely physical, so guys who mature faster want to be with women on their level. Relationships with noticeable age gaps arenโt creepy anymore, and many young singles choose to date older people. The trend is obvious in Australia, especially among older women who seem to love the freedom being a cougar gives.
They donโt have to pretend they donโt like the attention from younger guys. Thousands of men check popular sites to meet a cougar in Sydney every day. Attractive older women can pick those they like. And thatโs just an overview for one city. Cougar dating is even more popular in some other areas. But donโt think that only regular guys fantasize about having older girlfriends. Some of the most athletes are happy with women (much) older than them. Weโll check some examples and suggest imaginary Australian couples that would fit this description perfectly.
List Of The Sportsmen And Athletes Who Dated Or Married Older Girlfriends
Sergio Ramos and Pilar Rubio
One of the best football defenders of his generation, Sergio Ramos, is having a great career. Heโs still active, but injuries arenโt letting him shine in PSG. In his 16 years playing for Real Madrid, he got a bunch of trophies.
- La Liga: 5 times
- Copa del Rey: 2 times
- Supercopa de Espaรฑa: 4 times
- UEFA Champions League: 4 times
- UEFA Super Cup: 3 times
- FIFA Club World Cup: 4 times
Sergio did a lot in the national dress too. He was part of the team that won the FIFA World Cup in 2010 and the UEFA European Championship in 2008 and 2012. But his best achievement might be meeting Pilar Rubio in 2012. The stunning Spanish reporter is 8 years older than Sergio, but theyโre happy and have 4 sons.
Grigor Dimitrov and Nicole Scherzinger
Grigor Dimitrov may not be famous in Australia, but everyone knows Nicole Scherzinger. Women hate her and want to be like her. Men wish their girlfriends were hot like her. And a Bulgarian tennis player managed to achieve what millions worldwide could only imagine. His fame and more than $20 million in prize money helped, but heโs done it. Grigor and Nicole were together despite the age gap (sheโs 12 years older).
They were together for 3 years, from 2016 to 2019. Guess Grigor didnโt just wish his girlfriend was hot like Nicole. They arenโt together anymore, but theyโre still a cute example of love defeating mathematics.
While Grigor sticks to what he does best – playing tennis, Nicole likes to give everything a try. Maybe their differences made them such a good couple. Nicole worked on 6 movies and partnered with famous fashion brands. Sheโs an LGBT supporter, but she doesnโt consider herself a feminist.
Mark Sanchez and Jaime Lynn Sigler
The difference between Mark Sanchez and Jaime Lynn Sigler is just 5 years which doesnโt seem like a lot compared to Grigor and Nicole. But thatโs still enough to cause some generational tension which Mark and Jaime knew how to handle. That didnโt help them stay together; they were together between 2009 and 2012.
Mark has had a noticeable NFL career after the 2009 draft. His pre-draft statistics were enough to get him attention from some serious clubs. Mark fulfilled what everyone expected from them and became the best rookie in his first season. Heโs also the first rookie quarterback to win his first three starts. Jaime Lynn Sigler has a different life story than Mark, but they still managed to come across each other and be together. Jaime is an American actress and singer most famous for her role in The Sopranos.
Tony Parker and Eva Longoria
This woman has visited many dreams over the years. She became famous thanks to her role in The Desperate Housewives. You already know weโre talking about Eva Longoria. Sheโs still looking amazing despite being close to her 50th birthday. Tony Parker is a professional NBA player well known among die-hard basketball fans in Australia.
Heโs been in the NBA since 2001. Before being picked in the NBA draft, Parker played professionally in France. It goes without saying that the best romantic years of his life were while Eva was by his side. But the peak of his career happened before Eva. He won 3 NBA rings (2003, 2005, and 2007). Parker and Longoria married in 2007 and were very happy together until the divorce in 2011. The age difference between them is 7 years, but that didnโt bother them.
Most couples from this list arenโt together anymore, but that doesnโt mean younger men canโt be happy with older women. Some relationships are meant to last forever. Others are there to make life more entertaining. Weโre glad that Australia follows the trend happening worldwide. Now couples with age differences can express their feelings without getting weird looks.
