Tom Daley and Dustin Lance Black's Age Gap: A Non-Issue
Love Knows No Age
By [Your Name]
Olympic diving champion Tom Daley has always been open about his relationship with screenwriter Dustin Lance Black, who is 20 years his senior. In a recent interview, Daley said that he doesn't notice the age difference between himself and his husband.
"I think it's important to remember that age is just a number," Daley said. "When you're in love, you're in love. And when you find someone who you want to spend the rest of your life with, you don't let something like age get in the way."
Daley and Black met in 2013 and were married in 2017. They have a son together, Robbie.
Daley's comments come at a time when age gaps in relationships are becoming more common. According to a recent study by the Pew Research Center, the median age difference between spouses has increased in recent decades. In 1970, the median age difference was 2.3 years. By 2010, it had increased to 3.3 years.
There are a number of factors that have contributed to this trend, including the rising number of women who are pursuing higher education and careers, as well as the increasing acceptance of same-sex relationships.
While age gaps in relationships can sometimes be problematic, they can also be a source of strength and support. Couples with age gaps often have different perspectives and experiences to share, which can help them to grow and learn from each other.
