Anna Camp Defends 18-Year Age Gap With Girlfriend
Celebrity age-gap relationships have been the talk of the town recently, but Anna Camp isn't interested in hearing your negative opinions on hers.
Last week, Anna celebrated the premiere of her latest film Bride Hard at the Directors Guild of America in Los Angeles, California, alongside her costars Rebel Wilson, Sherry Cola, Anna Chlumsky, Justin Hartley, and Gigi Zumbado.
The 42-year-old actor attended the event with her 24-year-old girlfriend, celebrity stylist and writer, Jade Whipkey. This marked the couple's red carpet debut.
The Pitch Perfect star confirmed her relationship with Jade back in March, after posting a photo of them together on her Instagram Story dressed for the Renaissance Pleasure Faire.
When news of their red carpet moment began to hit news outlets, fans were not only surprised to find out that Anna was dating a woman, but also that there was an 18-year age gap between them.
Pink News, an outlet that prides itself on delivering LGBTQ+ news, features, and opinion pieces, shared an Instagram post highlighting Anna and Jade hitting the red carpet together for the first time. It included a video of them at the event with a headline/caption that listed their ages.
The comment section was filled with mixed opinions of those who disapproved of the age difference, and those who supported it:
After noticing some of the backlash, Anna stepped into the comments to defend her relationship: "Thought I'd jump on here since I follow @pinknews," Anna wrote. "And just say I've dated men exactly my age and Jade is FAR more mature than any of them."
"We have more in common than anyone else I've ever dated and can literally talk about anything and everything."
"Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I'm wishing everyone well :) Especially this Pride month."

Yolanda "Londie" Favors died suddenly in August 2024 at the age of 34, just weeks before her birthday Porsha Williams shared the sad news about her late cousin with Phaedra Parks in a phone call that aired in the latest episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta Londie was featured several times on the show and also appeared alongside Porsha in her 2021 spinoff series, Porsha's Family MattersThe Real Housewives of Atlanta cast is paying tribute to Porsha Williams' late cousin, Yolanda 'Londie' Favors. The latest episode of the Bravo show captured the ladies' reactions to Londie's unexpected death, which occurred in August 2024. In a brief phone call, an emotional Porsha revealed the 'huge loss' to longtime friend and RHOA co-star Phaedra Parks. 'It just was so sudden, so difficult,' Porsha said. 'Londie was just the most giving person you can ever think of. Loyal person, the most creative with her company. She did so much for my grandfather's foundation. The most honest person you can ever think of.' Phaedra noted that Londie, who was also featured in the Porsha's Family Matters spinoff series from 2021 to 2022, was like a 'little sister' to Porsha. 'I'm devastated because I know Londie was really the backbone of their family,' Phaedra continued in her confessional. 'Very young, but just brilliant. I mean, a sweetheart, and I know Porsha is devastated.' Just hours later, the women gathered for Phaedra's 'Black Glove Affair' party, where she shared the tragic news with everyone. 'So tonight, Porsha wasn't here because — me and Shamea [Morton] definitely know Londie — Londie, her cousin, died suddenly,' Phaedra explained. 'So she's dealing with that.' Cynthia Bailey, who has known Porsha for over 13 years, let out an audible gasp as Shamea began to sob in Phaedra's arms. 'I'm in shock,' Cynthia told cameras. 'Londie was so sweet, so loving. This is devastating news.' Phaedra went on to remind the group that it was important to be there for Porsha despite any of their differences. 'We fall out, but at the end of day, we're sisters,' she added. 'We've got to stick together and really support one another, because you never know when it's the last time.' Londie was weeks away from her 35th birthday when she died on Sunday, Aug. 11, 2024. The cause of death was not announced at the time. 'So it's true, when all is said and done, grief is the price we pay for love,' Porsha began an Instagram tribute that week, using a quote from author E.A. Bucchianeri. 'Londie - you were our best friend, our sister, our aunt, our cousin, and so much more,' her tribute continued. 'Your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure, and you are loved beyond words and will be missed beyond measure.' 'The impact and value you provided all of us during your time here was tremendous, but we know that your spirit will always be with us every day guiding us through this difficult time and what's still to come. For that, we're eternally grateful,' she concluded.

Sofia Richie Grainge's new 'French Riviera bob' is going to be the most in-demand style of summer
Hair trends will come and go, but if there's one thing we can rely on, it's that the bob will always remain timeless. Our proof? Sofia Richie Grainge's latest style. The model unveiled a brand new haircut over the weekend, and we're sure that this bob is about to take over summer 2025. Posing against the idyllic backdrop of the famous Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc, Grainge took to Instagram to share that she'd traded out her signature long blonde tresses for an effortless, chin-length bob. Her new cut was masterminded by hair stylist George Curran, who styled her with a middle-parting and gently rounded ends. This hair is a noticeably a softer look for Grainge, who often favours a tightly slicked-back bun. The summery style features lighter face-framing pieces at the front with a more muted blonde blended throughout, creating a 'quiet luxury' spin on the shade that sits perfectly with Grainge's go-to minimalist wardrobe. Simply captioning her Instagram post "French Bob", the socialite embraced the Riviera in more than one way, wearing a twist on the Breton stripe with a sleek black tank top and a diagonally-lined black and white skirt. The bob has become big business for the A-list in the past couple of years. From Hailey Bieber's internet-breaking style to Hailee Steinfeld's 'clavi-cut' and Leslie Bibb's White Lotus crop, celebrities are providing us with an abundance of inspiration and tempting many to take the chop. While 'Old Money' and retro bobs were trending upwards earlier this year thanks to an array of red carpet iterations, it seems that more undone, softly-cut bobs like Bibb and Grainge's are shaping up to be the most-coveted style of the summer.

Anna Camp Defends 18-Year Age Gap With Jade Whipkey, Says She's 'Far More Mature' Than Male Exes
Anna Camp is not letting strangers' comments on her love life get to her. The Pitch Perfect star recently spoke up and defended her newfound romance with writer and stylist Jade Whipkey, which also marks her first public relationship with a woman. When LGBTQ+ outlet Pink News dropped footage of Anna and Jade's red carpet debut at the Los Angeles premiere of Bride Hard, the comments section was flooded with critiques surrounding their age gap. The headline on the social post revealed that Anna is 18 years Jade's senior, which sparked a debate. 'Just cuz they are gay doesnt excuse the weird ahh age gap,' one person wrote, while another said, 'Regardless of celebrity or gender: if a 42 year old is with a 24 year old, it's about power or control, even on a subconscious level.' Other folks came to Anna and Jade's defense. 'Many don't understand that being a controversially young girlfriend is the lesbian dream,' one person joked, while another referenced Anna's Pitch Perfect co-star, Rebel Wilson: 'Almost every pitch perfect bella coming out as a queer is so important to me.' Anna then left a comment to defend her and Jade's relationship. 'Thought I'd jump on here since I follow @pinknews and just say I've dated men exactly my age and Jade is FAR more mature than any of them,' the You alum started. She explained, 'We have more in common than anyone else I've ever dated and can literally talk about anything and everything ♥️ Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I'm wishing everyone well:) Especially this Pride month 🌈.' Another person even pointed out age gap relationships have a different dynamic in queer relationships, saying, 'Age gaps in queer relationships are very common and don't often elicit the same power imbalances as hetero relationships given we live in a patriarchal society that prioritises men being in power and women being objectified.' They continued, 'Healthy queer relationships don't prescribe to those heteronormative gender dynamics. 👌 these two humans look so bloody happy and I'm ecstatic that more and more women are discovering who they are and finding true happiness ♥️.' Before soft-launching her romance with Jade earlier this year, Anna married Michael Mosley from 2010 to 2013 before she wed her Pitch Perfect co-star, Skylar Astin, from 2016 to 2019. People has also reported that Anna was romantically linked to drummer Michael Johnson from 2020 to 2024.
