Celebrity Couples Who Didn't Let an Age Gap Stand In Their Way

Beyoncé and Jay-Z, 12 Years

These two music icons met back in 2001 when Beyoncé was just 20 and Jay was 32. They'd been off and on for seven years until secretly tying the knot in 2008. The various scandals that have surrounded their relationship, like Jay-Z cheating, fueled her "Lemonade" release, but the couple is still going strong.

In 2012, Bey announced that she was pregnant with the couple's first child, a daughter named Blue Ivy. In 2017, she famously broke the Internet with another pregnancy announcement, and she later gave birth to twins Sir and Rumi. Blue Ivy has made appearances within her parents' music careers and even placed on the Billboard charts.
