19 Of The Biggest Romantic Age Gaps On TV Shows

Since Mila lied about her age to get on the show, she was 14 when she first started playing Ashton Kutcher's love interest!

Meanwhile, Ashton was 20. He was even Mila's first kiss! Their age gap definitely makes that fact weird.

During most of Season Two, Monica dated the handsome doctor Richard Burke, played by Tom Selleck. The two didn't last since their 21-year age gap meant that Richard was done having kids.

There was a pretty huge age gap between the two actresses who played lovers in the teen drama. Mitchell is eight years younger than Maya, despite both portraying characters of the same age.

Considering Asher was 60 while Paris was only 18, this was a huge age gap! Their relationship was also super unprofessional since Asher worked as a professor at the same university Paris attended.

The actor was 35 when he started on the show. This meant that he was 15 years older when their characters got romantically involved.

But when you think about the fact that James's character, Spike, is technically centuries older than Buffy, it's not so bad.

There was a 20-year age gap between these two characters, with Rosita being younger.

The actors are also much different in age in real life as Michael Cudlitz was 48 when he started on the show and Christian Serratos was 23.

While the show depicts their characters, Leonard and Penny, as being close in age, that's not true in real life. Johnny is actually 10 years older than Kaley.

Since Rainer (Nathan Fillion) was a friend of Hayley's (Sarah Hyland) father, you can imagine their age gap. The pair, which thankfully didn't last long, had more than two decades between them!

Their romance was one to swoon over, despite the age gap between the two actors. Mischa was 17 at the time, perfect for playing a high schooler, while McKenzie was in his mid-20s.

When Trina (Angela) first appeared on the show, she was 28. This was a huge contrast to the real age of Rider (Shawn) who was only 17. Knowing this makes their romantic scenes difficult to watch.

Hayley and Rainer weren't the only romantic age gap in the ABC sitcom. The show largely centered around the romance of Gloria and Jay who were decades apart. In real life, the actors are 27 years apart.

There was a lot of drama surrounding the relationship between the two characters.

Shelby, played by Idina Menzel, was the one who adopted the daughter Puck (Mark Salling) had. So he was a high school student dating the adopted mother of his child.

Their characters got romantic in the episode "Bizarrodale." At the time, KJ was 21 while Ashleigh was 32. This puts an 11-year age gap between them. Considering it's Riverdale, are we really surprised?

Fans of Pretty in Pink will probably recognize Stanton, who played the main character's father. The actor is more than seven decades older than Chase, who plays his 14-year-old love interest in the HBO show.

The large age gap between Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) and "The Russian" (Mikhail Baryshnikov) caused issues from the start since Aleksandr had already been married and had a child.

The show took quite the turn when it had Aria's (Lucy Hale) character fall for her high school teacher, Ezra (Ian Harding). She was 16, AKA basically a child, when she started dating him.

It was extremely uncomfortable for fans to have to watch 15-year-old Pacey (Joshua Jackson) make out with his 40-year-old teacher!

And that was only the pilot episode, which meant the series started out in a shocking way.

Poor Sansa. First, she lost her father. Then she had to deal with the demonic Ramsay and Joffrey.

As if that wasn't bad enough, Petyr (Little Finger), who was close friends with her mother, loved Sansa since she looked so much like her.

The actors may both play high school students, but only one of them is actually close in age to that.

Ramakrishnan (Devi) was 17 when she was cast, while Barnet (Paxton) was 28.
