Search Results: age difference in a relationship

Let me start with saying that I've always loved Celine Dion. We would always listen to her music during road trips. Good memories form her songs. When her husband passed away I did research on who he was and well I saw how old he was and their age gap. I was surprised not only about the 26 yr age difference but that he was her manager. I though oh well but like well they're both consenting adults so what? But then I found out they met when she was 12 and he was 38... I was even more surprised! Some people say love is love, and age is just a number and justify it by saying that they didn't fall in love and start dating until she was 19, of legal age. I personally see it a bit sketchy because of how young she was when they met and I feel like when an adult meets you as a kid, they keep that image of you, and because he was her manager, he was a position of power, and because he was married. When I read about this I was 16 and I thought well maybe at 19 it's normal but now me being 19 feels weirder. So yeah, some people do think he was grooming her her whole life, all her life that she's blind to it. But others agree that age is just a number and that their love story is strange but beautiful. What do you have to say about this? Again, no hate to Celine Dion, I respect her so much she is a wonderful woman and I love her music.
