Is Noel Gallagher the only rock star who likes women his own age?

I use the term rock star loosely 😀 but how refreshing to see the newly single multi millionaire Noel Gallagher dating someone in her early 50’s. Most successful blokes in the music biz seem to date women much younger. Tbf I think his brother might be the same. Not that I’m a fan or anything or, think that I’m in with a chance 😂😂

He seems a decent bloke. I like watching him in interview. Growing older with grace and dignity seems a rarity, but he's one of those blokes who really do improve with age.

Bowie also married age appropriately.with Iman - despite all the shit that's spread around about him now

After watching him in a film I looked up Billy Crudup and was pleased to see he was recently married to Naomi Watts. They are both 55.

Tom Waits is still with his wife Kathleen Brennan after 44 years.

Is she in her fifties? I saw a photo of her and my main thought was she looks very like his ex wife.

EachandEveryone · 20/05/2024 20:49

Yes she does but posher Sara looked like an effortless rock chick that’s why I was expecting a younger version of her but indeed the Daily Mail has done its work and she’s early fifties and has known him through work, she was a travel agent that specialised in rockstar travel. Which is a thing😂😂

Bono and Ali. Both 64. Marriage going strong 42 years on!

MargotMoon · 20/05/2024 20:57

I don't think couples that have been together since their 20s are the point of this thread; more that it is refreshing that some famous older men aren't doing the tired old 'trade her in for a younger model' shit.

Treesaleaving · 20/05/2024 20:59

James Dean Bradfield... eventually. Sadly can't say the same of his cousin.

crowgift · 20/05/2024 21:01

well of course Jeff Bezos thinks he's a rockstar and he is due to marry a woman the same age as his ex wife (and only 5 or 6 years younger than him).

ManilowBarry · 20/05/2024 21:18

@AutumnalLeaves38

Bono and Ali had a threesome thing going with Helena Christensen for awhile and he also was very close to Andrea Corr.

BigMandsTattooPortfolio · 20/05/2024 21:18

John Lydon, recently widowed. Married for 44 years to Nora Foster, she was 14 years his senior.

EveryOtherNameTaken · 20/05/2024 21:26

The point of this thread isn't longstanding relationships but not everyone goes straight for a younger woman after breakups.

Mummysgogetter · 20/05/2024 22:06

He’s not a rockstar but what about Jamie Redknapp - he’s with someone 11 years’ younger? Or is that too much of an age gap?

EachandEveryone · 20/05/2024 22:07

Jimmy Page’s girl friend is 47 years younger than him. He’s 80🤔

Yeah but in his mid 30s he dumped his girlfriend, Mary Louise Parker, when she was 7 months pregnant for 24 year old Claire Danes. Hopefully he's matured somewhat now

Donkeysdontdance · 20/05/2024 22:20

Keane reeves. Age appropriate girlfriend with shock horror grey hair. Always had a soft spot for him

Not a rock star, but Ant McPartlin’s second wife is around his age.

Just thought of Norman Reedus, Helena Christiansen’s ex husband, who then married Diane Kruger. They’re all aged around 50 I think.

Eh? How do you know this?

Bucking the trend, John Lennon left first wife Cynthia(a year older than him), for Yoko, 7 years older.
