To be honest they look alright together. He looks 50. She looks 45.
😂😂😂
Lmao
Exactly
🤣🤣🤣 I spit my coffee across the room. Lmao
lol
Only problem is she doesn't look 24. She looks like 40. They will make it through.
I heard they got divorced.
Right
Right
yeah she looks old.
I thought that she looks ok. Maybe older than 24 but she seems like a mature person.
Speaking from experience.... the age gap matters more and more as you age... I'm 57 my husband is 80
The age gap didn't matter 30 years ago...IT MATTERS NOW.
Well, one things for sure, you will be back on the market soon rather you want to be or not!
@Frank Burjan at 80, his market will be at the cemetery....
@@Aggie4life77 damn
@@Aggie4life77 🤣🤣🤣
Your old yourself quit talking like your not! 57-80 at that point does it really matter
Why do people have such a DESPERATE NEED not to be by themselves? I don't GET it...I'm alone, but not LONELY.
Same here...They both need to run in opposite directions
Me too! Broke up with my ex because he was too comfortable being gf/bf & not upgrading to marriage after 3 years. It’ll be 1 year next month. I’m nowhere near ready to be in another relationship. I’m thinking I need approximately 2-3 years to have some alone time
@@Tee-kk6tj you have a nice smile
@@JayeNovember thank you 😊
@@Tee-kk6tj Aw you welcome do u have ig?
Here's an unpopular opinion: as long as they're happy, it's none of anyone's business. They aren't hurting anyone, they're both adults, and if you think it won't work, well then--let these *adults* make their own mistakes
She’s over 18 so there’s nothing wrong with it
Ok but imagine what about when his daughter goes No Contact with him. Now imagine they have kids and she suddenly sees other couples her own age doing different things but she can't because he's already "been there done that"
@@K1ng1995 then that would be their decision and they'd have to live with the consequences.
For the 5 years they're married until they're divorced, yeah you're right. Their soon divorce is not our problem.
Yeah that what I was saying..I'm probably missing something because I dont see why dr phil is being so aggressive. Let them live jeez. Shes not a minor, why is this someone else's business?
Am I the only one who doesn’t understand how 172% of marriages of that age gap get divorced? How can it be over 100?
It says relative percentage so it's like percentage of one relative to the other one
@@shovnam6823 🤔🤔🤔🤔
I didn't get that either 🙄
Dr Phil explained the maths really badly, basically he was saying if you have a 30 year age gap you’re 172% more likely than your average couple to get divorced
*_this is off topic but i vibe with your pfp i like disturbed too lol_*
This girl is 24?!
How long has she been saying that?
🤣🤣🤣
15 years
Exactly what I thought... There is no way she is 24. If I saw them together as a couple i would think she looked maybe 5 years younger than him. I would never look at them and think there is a big age differance!!
@@1977jenna Until she starts speaking - sounding like a sorority girl after a party
Haha haha
There is a 20 year age gap between my husband and I and yet we have been married 23 years. It hasn't always been easy but we work through our differences.
@Nora 15 That's awesome. Congratulations. :)
20 years here also; I'm 60 he's 40, been married 15yrs. He has the advantage of youth but I have better health. Being post menopause, there's an inbalance in libido. Hoping I age gracefully enough but only time will tell. Nothing comes with guarantees.
Oh, this is my 3rd marriage and his 2nd.
@@lynnmartz8739 I LOVE IT! Ask you doctor for hormone replacement Therapy! So many videos on it.
Yeah but do he already has kids. And if no then I could understand why you all worked out. People also need to understand that there's a difference between an age gap and generation gap. 10-15 is an age gap but more than that is generation gap. 20 years? Okay ! Still we could deal with but 30 years difference, no, not all. And just because couples wid huge generation gap are married for 20, 30 years can get divorce later. I have seen couples like that who were married for 30 to 40 years and then they got separated.
Now, that’s an exception but you two are probably just good for each other... 30 years is pushing it.
That women might have been 24 fifteen years ago.
*woman
😂😂😂
The issue is, she will be a totally different person in 10 years.
And still lying about her age...she's already lived those 10 years 🤣🤣
Oh...so they went ahead and DID NOT LISTEN and are now divorced. I bet she walked away with all he owned.
Is there a video of them divorced I’d love to see it
really? how do you know?
Including his daughter? LOL
He must have had a prenup.
Marriage is a business now a days!
She looks older than 24....
She doesn't look like 24 though.....She looks much older
My husband and I have a 26 yr age difference. Been married 11 yrs and going strong. We both walked into it with our eyes wide open to reality. You have to if you're going to do this... got a bit of a reality check last yr as the chickens in a way came home to roost as he had open heart surgery. He did well and was back to work and on his harley with the doctors blessing in 11 wks. He's overall a healthy man but yeah life has a way of coming up and smacking you in the face but guess what we worked together and we got him through it. Still I personally would rather have a few yrs of true happiness with my soul mate than to live my whole life without anything special. You only live once might as well be happy with the one you love. Just because I'm younger don't mean I will out live him as no one is promised tomorrow. BUT, it wouldn't be for everyone as yes there's a good chance of me being a caretaker and/or possibly being widowed much younger than I would normally be BUT even still I choose to live my life with him for however long that may be for both of us.
I've never met a Harley rider that was healthy. Those bikes attract people that often have poor information about nutrition and how to take care of yourself and are often less disciplined in life. I'm not surprised he had a heart attack. He'll have another, guaranty it.
@@kentadams4589 you’re very judgemental and cannot even spell guarantee correctly

My husband is 16 years older than me. This is his fourth marriage my second.
We have been happily married for 29 years and are still each other’s best friend. He is the best thing that has ever happened to me. He says the same about me.
Leave them alone and let them work it out themselves. ❤️🥰
Too right. Many people in age gap relationships have reported that the pressures on their marriage have come not because of any internal complications or tensions resulting from the age difference, but because of constant criticism and interference from ignorant bigots who can't mind their own damn business.
I gotta admit, first marriage divorce rate of 35-40% is so much better than I would have initially thought :)
She REALLY, REALLY does'nt look 29. She looks to be in her early 40's.
She's not 29, she's 24
I feel she looks like in my age group 40's and I don't wear makeup.
What differance does it make how old they look? You ppl are being silly----
@@SandraMontano-si3uf Why does it bother you? Have you ever heard the old saying, "different strokes for different folks"?
@@ek2137 why do you think it bothers me? Just because I said they were being silly? SMH. LOl---
I’ve never heard anyone ever say “I love him/her. She/He makes me feel like gold. No one has ever made me feel this way before. I want to spend the rest of my life with him/her” BUT “statistics say...”😂 I don’t think we should live our lives based on statistics. We should just live our lives, and try to be as happy as we possibly can while we possibly can.
If we lived our lives on statistics as a nation. We would a whole lot better off than chasing emotions to be "happy" all the time.
how they talked over one another and neither acknowledged the other was talking...yeah, this is a good relationship...NOT
I was thinking that the whole time xD

Here is a rant that no one asked for: I won't deny that a bigger age gap increases the likelihood for incompatibility, but you can't use that to put everyone in a box. It really depends on the individuals involved and whether or not they actually have a healthy, sustainable connection. They're acting as if physical attraction is the only thing holding these two together, which it could be, but that is not the case for every age gap couple. When you love someone, and you are committed to them, you are not going to suddenly wake up one day and no longer love them because you've decided they're "old" now. You view them through the lens of a loving connection and years of time spent together. Plus, you're going to see the other person get old whether they're your age or a lot older than you, so if you have a problem with that, it sounds like you're just not mature enough to commit to someone. You might have to help take care of them in their old age, but the same thing could happen to a same age couple if one of them got cancer or had to battle a serious long-term illness or injury. Marriage is in sickness and in health. Ultimately, a given age represents different milestones to different people. Some people learn a lesson at 20 that others didn't learn until 40. That said, I think as long as two people have compatible personalities, are equal on an emotional and intellectual level, and share mutual attraction, then age doesn't matter (obviously excluding a couple in which someone is under the legal age).
Wow! Very well said. I agree.
Thank you for sharing your opinion - coming from parents with a 17 year gap, this is true! But think about it... a 40 year old man shouldn't be in the same place as a 23 year old woman... life is weird
I am totally convinced with this.❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yes I am so agree with you. I am 51 mu husband is 24 and we are happy together
Very well said
Literally no one's business to judge two adults' relationship lol
yes ultimately but i will always give a side eye to older men who are attracted to women who have only been adults for a few years lol
@@faithkayy If they're only after younger women then fine but it's really possible to meet someone younger/older and get along. I don't see any point in ending a relationship thinking "In 20 years we'll look weird together" lol you'll NEVER know what's gonna happen in 20 years even if you're at the same age.
oh wah wah, go cry about it to your vegan book club.
@@DiscountDivorcePhotography ok boomer
@@e.s.7018 okay no one is saying that that doesn't happen but in this case it is VERY CLEAR that he wants to be with her solely because she looks young and there's a power imbalance. Not to mention this woman is the same age as his OWN DAUGHTER. That is why people are looking at this with a side eye. No one is saying you can't find love with an age gap but it's kind of predatory to actively seek someone younger than you, who's more like a child that you can always control.
A 32 year old dating a 44 year old is fine. A 49 year old dating a 20 year old is a red flag.
The age gap is disgusting to me. I don’t mind marrying someone who is at the maximum 5 years older than me, but 30 years older?!?! That’s just feels illegal
Yeh,people are going too far arent they
Male, be 60 in another year, never married, never really into LTRs, been careful NOT to help bring ANY children into this world, sort of a Loner, and very free-spirited! I want to live my golden years in peace, so I'm really not all that hard up for companionship - Least of all with some young woman I have absolutely nothing in common with!
I’ve never been married. My love is the ocean.

Careful of the mermaids man.
@@myendlesslove5120 I'm 37 too, there are no more good men
I’m also in my mid-30s and I am still fine, with or without being married yet since females can always be so sensitive and emotional all the time. I know because I’m not the romantic type of a male…
I don't like the way Dr Phil tried to make the point. It was about trashing the couple's age difference and no discussion about - common values, life goals, life style, which is where the rubber meets the road. The numbers only tell part of the story.
Yep
Typically age brings lifer perspective, values, and life goals. The age gap represents all of the above. Think about what a 24 year olds outlook on life looks like compared to a 53 year old. The experiences, the goals, and life style. A 24 year old is still hitting the bars, the 53 year old is hitting the sack at 10PM. Life goals, 53 year old getting ready for retirment in about a decade, 24 year old just starting out in the work force. Ect ect.
The shows trash hes con
@@olechristianhenne6583 yep
Bc age matters
If both parties are going in with their eyes open then it's their lives! Who knows..... It may actually be the right paring this time. I know it's kinda different due to lifestyle, but look at some rock stars such as Rod Stewart, a few failed marriages under his belt, but now he is totally grounded with his current wife who is quite a bit younger, but it works for them.
It's not 100% chance of divorce, which means for some it works out, and who is to say you aren't that part of the percentage! Just remember to enjoy the ride, as you only get one chance to enjoy yourself!
I think he liked the look of being an 80 year old with a younger women 😄
It is disgusting
@@LauRa-re9un are you woman

I wanna see a “where are they now” episode on this.
He’s so proud of the 29 year age difference and the fact that it’s his third marriage.
Why does no one knock Hollywood stars when they do this, but they do knock your average unknown people. Dr Phil gives good advice, but why doesn’t Dr Phil put Hollywood couples on his show and speak to them this way?
Exactly. For example David Foster on his fifth marriage with a wife that’s 35 years younger and they are expecting a child while David (age 71) has 5 kids and the oldest is 50.
Good point. Michael Douglas and Alex Baldwin just to mention two of them. Of course younger women wouldn't marry "poor" old men.
Great point! Totally agreed! They live in a Hollywood bubble and definitely need a greater awakening.
@@Yasin_2312 eeewww......
Western culture has degraded to a very low point.
I think comparing human relationships and cars is idiotic. Alot like Phil's outlook on many things.
He's a complete twit a number of times. Many times he's totally WRONG. WHY DO SO MANY PEOPLE TAKE HIM SERIOUSLY.
Comparing marriage/woman to a car was very inappropriate. Dr Phil what a shame!it’s disgusting actually! Plus the pictures are not accurate. At 54 you look older than that woman. Look at that blond lady, she looks way older than 24. But is that matters? Very shallow thinking. My man is 19 years older and we are very happy for many years now.
It's not about the looks though but after sometime you just become a caregiver
My mom’s best friends got married at age 40 and 45 and they’re so much in love and this was 35 years ago.

I’ve been divorced 31 yrs, I did date a few girls my daughters age. But that was my middle age crazy, newly divorced, years.
@Edwards is the rookie of the year I'm past that place in my life. Truth is that was over 25 years ago. Personally, I don't believe it's fair for somebody to marry somebody else 20 years younger. I take care of my 95 year old mom. I don't want someone to have to take care of me. It's like being in prison. I don't want to do that to anyone.
@Miss Manawaka Sure they can, absolutely. That said, if there's 20 years difference, somebody is going to be taking care somebody else in later years. But God forbid we admit that!
@Miss Manawaka
I’ve been taking care of my 95 year old mom for nearly 21 years,in my home. Believe me, I know what is involved. The caregiver has no spontaneity in their lives. Mom has dementia, I run a business too. The caregiver has no life!

Idk I am 27 and they don't look THAT much younger than him of course she doesn't look 45 but somewhere between 25 and 40?
Many age gap relationships actually are successful. My neighbors have a 23 year age gap. He recently passed on after their 40th wedding anniversary. My brother was 25 when he married his 45 yrs young wife. They have been happily married for 27 years. In truth, it's all about compatibility with both people working to make it successful.
May I ask but did they have a family as well?
@@danniifan3115 My brother was unable to father children. His wife had 2 children from a previous marriage, so, he was a very good stepfather to her children. My neighbors had 2 children.
I think the stage of life each is at is the biggest factor. As committed as they may be, some factors, like having kids, are deal-breakers and can be age-related. A younger partner, for example, may want children, the older one may be 'been there, done that, no thanks'.
I am 46 y/o and if a man is young enough that I could’ve given birth to him, it ain’t gonna happen with us! Usually, I am the same age as their Mother or they are the same age as my nieces or nephews... NOPE!!! 🙅🏽♀️🙅🏽♀️🙅🏽♀️
The statistics has me confused causeeeeee who tf can REALLY tell me how long my love will last. No matter the age (as long as it’s legal) love can last as long as BOTH parties are actively involved in making one another a better person.
I would never know he's 53 years old unless he told me... he looks 40
He looks 50
Karen is not 24, she looks in her early 40's so it does not apply to them.🤣🤣🤣🤣

He looks great for his age , she looks older
dont think so he looks super old
I was just thinking how good he looks for his age.
@@NatalieNicole2222 He looks waaay better and younger than women his age.
To each their own. I agree in time the possibility of them staying together is challenged. It's about happiness, period. The joy they possibly have now, many couples that have been married for years never experience. Growing older together is cherished, but it's the quality of everyday life together is what counts.
How's about you drop her, and take me......54, and LOVE to LAUGH 😂🤣😂
That chubber will weigh 300 lbs. by age 35.
We’ve been married now for 20 years. My husband was 22 and I was 44 when we got married. He’s been the best husband I could have ever gotten. I saw the photos Dr Phil showed. Is he suggesting that only looks matter? That is so wrong.
Well, one size doesn't fits all. When I was in my teens, I was like you. Like love is love, there's nothing off limits when comes to love. But now as I have grown older & I've seen the world, I've realised that everything in your life matters. Trust me, I have travelled around the world & I've met literally, I mean literally met more than thousands of people, who were or are in a "generational" gap relationship. I can assure you out of 10, 8 couples got separated because of the age gap issue. And the couples who are still in the relationship, when I asked them separately about of their relationship, some deep down questions. Trust me, more than half of those couples were not happy as they wanted it to be. Yeah, they were still not clearly saying that about the age gap but the reasons they were giving was clearly projecting that age gap was causing some issues. Yeah u can say that age cannot be the only reason a couple split up but it surely could be one of the reasons. I feel weird when people say that age is just a number. No, it's not, it's part of your identity, don't ignore it. I am very happy for y'all & I hope that y'all make it through the end. But we all need to understand that age gap and also generational gap relationships is not for everyone. I have seen few age gap relationship which have lasted long. So I won't discourage anyone from going there but cause I've seen more unhappy "generational" gap relationships, I personally won't motivate anyone either.
Just out of curiosity, how much money does he make and how much do you make?
@@duhuh7370 It really doesn’t matter but together we make about $48,000. a year at one point I made a little more and now he makes a little more than me. About 2005 we made about 75,000. My husband had a stroke so obviously our income suffered. But it’s okay! We make it work. We’re happy with what we have. A home, food on the table, our health and each other. It was never about money.
I don't really care about age gaps if they both met for the first time where they're at least 20 years old, but if you have a kid the same age as the person you're dating, I think it's weird. I know they met as adults but thinking that they could have been a classmate or friend of your kid is weird.
If someone is as old as one of your parents then they are too old! A 5 or 10 or 15 year age gap is good enough but after that I can see why people freak out cause they know you in a relationship with someone who could be your parent.
"I can't give up trying." Good on you! What'd Confucius say, "Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." As we get older the numbers game will never play in our favor anyway.
Why is Dr. Phil so against this man marrying his girl? Is there a video prior to this that explains the issue cuz I highly doubt it’s just because of the age gap and the fact that it’s his third marriage?
Age doesn't matter. I was 41 and my husband was 25 when we married. We've been together 11 years 🥰 Who cares what anyone thinks or says?
172% ??? Is mathematics taught in primary school over there ?
He was 400% certain that his stats were valid.
It says relative percentage so it is possible
Obviously you aren't that good at maths...
You realise a percentile can go over 100% right.
+172% means 2.72 times as likely.
First words I hear out of their mouths and they're interrupting each other!!! Yeah, that's gonna work.
Dr.Phil is still a savage even when he has a cold.
The man is very good looking and looks great.
Maybe now, but the age gap will be hard to handle later. She’s not going to want to take care of him when he’s old.
Mayb she will leave this world first, life is uncertain.
That’s highly unlikely, and you know that. Well, I guess we found somebody having a midlife crisis.
He should marry Asian. Loyal and high cultured.
@DDream 1986 Are you saying men in their 50s cannot be good looking? George Clooney is 59. Brad Pitt is 57. Tom Cruise is 58. Matt McConaughey is 51.
To be honest he’s really attractive for an older guy. I think I could be with him.

"Hopefully I bust my head with Brook" 😂😂😂
Thanks! I have been looking for these statistics.
Dr. Phil has different standards for different people. I've seen couples on his show where they had a huge age Gap and he was Not trying to convince them not to do it because of the statistics.
I feel bad for men like him. Look so sad and lonely
Why do you say that? What gives you the right to question his or her choice?
Men do not do well being alone, after divorce or death of their spouse. They need a partner. Women do ok, it's difficult, but we fill our time with family and friends, hobbies, and that seems to work.
He looks good n rich tho
Not true. My dads on his third marriage and they’ve been married for 30 years.

I would never have thought she is twenty four
172% probability of divorce? Somebody doesn't understand probability.

My husband is 12 years older than me...my second marriage and his 3rd...I don't disagree with Dr. Phil.
Congratulations to you, that’s wonderful. How long have you guys been married? According to previous post those two have indeed divorced.
There's always an exception to the rule.

Only there are more individuals of that group compared to total group population. And in everything there is risk: Mecidicines, vaccines, drinks, amusemend parks, cooking, driving.

She 24? Really??? Heavy wear and tear...
My husband is 18 years older than me , same age of my mother, I’m his 4th marriage and He is my 3rd marriage and both had children from previous marriages. We have now been married for over 23 years and it has been the best years of my life. Even though my husband has many health problems and we have had serious financial and businesses setbacks, basically losing everything, I love him even more than the beginning. He is romantic, kind and is my rock. He says that his life began when he met me. and that I am the love of his life. Statistics, problems, circumstances sicknesses, it’s part of life, much we can not control. Love and marriage is an act of faith and optimism. So glad I didn’t listen to the likes of Dr Phil and others with their tales of doom. I know my husband feels the same way. Wishing this couple the very best and my their marriage be blessed.
Well Dr Phil, here in Italy my parents had 25 years difference and they stayed together till the death! B.
How is Italy different than America in terms of dating & marriage?
@@bodhisattva2348 why do you wanna marry me?!!
@@barbaraspadi9123 never said I want 2 marry u??? 💀
That's one marriage his taken bout facts
The late Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh, once said after he'd been married for about 50 years: "After you've been married 50 years it can be tempting to give advice."
Key words: "it can be tempting"
Something tempting usually isn't a good thing.
What's the point? Even with one's personal experience in marriage - however long that might be, even 50 years - GO SLOW when giving advice! Be modest and don't presume to know things about people that you know absolutely nothing about.
Questions: what are the figures Dr Phil is using on this particular couple actually based on? Where are the dots connecting those figures to this particular couple? Etc....etc...etc...
Did Dr Phil have a word with David Foster before he married his wife Catherine just asking
This chick is at least 35.
My husband is 27 years older and we are celebrating our 15th anniversary today! I actually think our age difference has only made us more compatible. (Btw, My name is Brook too)
I am 27 years older than mine we have been together for 5 years
My husband is 27 years older than me and we’re happy with 2 children, his first wife died from a terminal illness in her 40s and he hadn’t been in a relationship since, 4 years after she died we met eachother
@Gregory Holden My husband is 27 years older and we make the same amount so hardly a gold digger it’s something called love and commitment
@Gregory Holden thank you I appreciate it I’m expecting another baby in April I can’t wait
@@baxterbunch how old are you if you dont mind
he would be better off pursuing women closer to his own age who are widowed and had healthy marriages with their husband.
Why
@Richard Milliken true
My 3rd marriage has lasted 34 yrs and counting
Just give him ten more years. He will be a lot different. I'm 62 and sure wish I was 52. I felt like I was 30 then, but now I feel, look, and move like I'm 95!!!
I don’t understand these comments. I understand statistics but he’s trying to break up their relationship. If they want to marry, that’s their business. I’ve never seen the rest of the episode, like if she’s a gold digger, ect. But statistics on age, 3rd marriage, and aging is crazy. Is the guy supposed to never seek love again?
No but if you look at the photo,it’s going to matter when he gets older in age.
He can live his life just fine. Dr Phil trying to give him a dose of reality the numbers show this isnt going to work. People don't have to get married to love again.
172 %? 🙄 I thought that a 100% risk makes it a certainty, therefore the EXTRA 72% is superfluous! 🙂 👯
Well explained, Dr Phil!
I dont get what the issue is, let them live their lives its their business lmao
Yeah, I know this doesn’t show why they’re there. It’s just... Why are they telling consenting adults who to marry? It happens all the time, they just happen not to be on Dr. Phil for it lol ppl will do anything for attention bruv... I- Oh well.
Agreed.
Americans keep telling everyone not to "judge". What is this interview, then? One non-stop judging session on a personal matter. And the comment section? A judging circus!
Practice what you preach!
@@someothername9462 don't generalize all American never said dont have standards
Dr Phil doesn’t understand relative risk when he used the car analogy.
Maybe I’m going to get annihilated in the comments, but I don’t think Dr. Phil is that smart.
Been married 15yrs. My 1st marriage, husbands 3rd. He’s 15yrs my senior. My point is each couple is different. Dr. Phil is a meddler!!
Yes, Dr Phil should mind his own business. Many times he makes more problems than he solves.
She looks older than him, but speaks like a teenager.
“Like we’re not a car like that’s just different.”
Think about prison exonerees who were locked away for extended periods of time and got out after age 50 60 or even 70. Maybe they wanted kids early on so they pick up where they left off and go for 20 or 30 somethings. One got out at age 55, moved to the UK and married a beautiful 23 year old and had kids together. Nothing at all wrong with that!
