Who doesn’t remember when,   shortly after her 18th birthday, Hayden and co-star Milo Ventimiglia (who’s last name I also cannot pronounce), came out as an item? Normally this would have been in the tabloids based on the fact they are co-workers, but Hayden took an even bigger blow seeing as Milo is also 12 years her senior.

People develop attractions, chemistry, connections with all types of other people, including those of different ages. I have never seen so many people seemingly obsessed with the "acceptable" age difference between a couple. Today we seem totally preoccupied with age and age difference. One of the greatest romances in Hollywood history was Bogey and Bacall, but how many know that he was 44 and she 19 when they met and fell in love? Many of you think that "creepy" I bet! I dated a 38 year old woman when I was 22 and 24 year old woman when I was 35. Both relationships were fulfilling in different ways. Everyone has their own preferences, but why does it matter to you what others do?? I couldn’t care less about Milo and Hayden or their age difference, but find the posts on this site fascinating.

I don't have a problem, with Hayden liking and dating Milo Ventimiglia I am 30 years old as well, and guess what Hayden and I bdays are next to each other in the same month. Now, I feel like this is destiny for us, I feel that Hayden and myself are meant to be. She is beautiful, has a cute face and a nice body she is also, healthy too. I like 18 year old's who are mature and like older guys with the same characteristics. I'm a mature guy I feel it and sense it, I don't smoke, drink or have illegal sex with girls I'm clean all the way. Hayden when you become single look me up in Texas I would love to meet you. Milo you are a great person man and you will meet the right girl. God has someone who is right for you.

A guy of her same age is more likely to cause drama, either through jealousy or immature behavior or fooling around on her. At 30 a man is better prepared emotionally. I know a lot of women that prefer older men because they're tired of dating "boys". Let them have their relationship and I hope it works out.

People were married with kids, women got married at 16,17,18. What about hormones and mensturation(sp?) and the law. Milo has every right to take her out to dinner, maybe a movie, and than kiss and poke at every inch of her precious little body if she is down. It's legal and I'm jealous. She's like a shiny new Ferrari -- it's all downhill from here. 18 used to be old. People were married with kids, women got married at 16,17,18. What about hormones and mensturation(sp?) and the law.

And as far as ur outline for wut u should be doing at ages 30 and 18 that is a little outdated wouldnt you say? that might be ur lifes plan but im 18 and recently bought my first house and my so called father who is way past the age of 30 spends all his time partying and has absolutly no plan of getting married anytime soon. so how would u possible know if she's mature enough for him. I hate how society thinks that just because someone is a celebrity it makes it okay to judge their life. maybey u should spend a little less time worrying about what "starlet" is with wut "hunk" and get your own life!!

I think the age difference is weird. I mean, as long as it's under 10 years it's not that bad once you're older. I mean, my parents are 8 years apart but at 58 and 50 it's not really a big deal. In context though, my mom was only 10 when my dad was 18. Ew. Then there's my aunt and uncle. My aunt is 52. My uncle, about 70. He's closer to her parents' age than he is to hers. That is just too creepy for me and no matter how old they get that is too big of an age gap. I mean, good god he has kids that are only about 10 years younger than her, they could be siblings. I think Hayden is way too cute and too talented to date a 30 year old. She needs to go out and have fun with a guy within a few years of her age. But that's just me. I would only go 2, maybe 3 years older than myself if it came down to it and my boyfriend is only 6 months older than me so I just like to be in my own age group.

I met a 23 year old man when I was 19 and even with that small an age gap we encountered huge difficulties when dating. I couldn't drink, I had just started college and he had just finished. We were in very different parts of our lives. Is four years a big age difference? Absolutely not. Can 20 years difference work out? Sure. But you do have to consider where people are in their lives at 18 versus 30, even if they're celebrities. 18 year olds are simply not emotionally mature, no matter how much life experience they have.

We have lots of overlapping interests and shared idealistic life goals. Together we have built a boat, three businesses, have developed various careers, philanthropic organizations, and accomplished things neither of us could do alone. We have been together for 35 years and are still lovey-dovey and are constantly entertaining, educating and nurturing each other. We're soulmates. Souls are ageless.
