‘Pitch Perfect' star Anna Camp responds to criticism of 18-year age gap with her girlfriend
A pitch perfect relationship.
Anna Camp, 42, defended her romance with her girlfriend Jade Whipkey, 24, from the criticism of their 18-year age gap.
'I've dated men exactly my age and Jade is far more mature than any of them,' the actress wrote in the comments section of a June 21 Instagram video that mentioned their age difference.

'We have more in common than anyone else I've ever dated and can literally talk about anything and everything,' the 'Pitch Perfect' star continued.
Camp added: 'Everyone is entitled to their opinion and I'm wishing everyone well especially this pride month.'

Since soft-launching her relationship with Whipskey on social media last month, Camp has been facing backlash for dating someone nearly 20 years younger than her.
'I can't imagine having the necessary common ground to start a relationship with a 20 year old. What could they possibly have in common?' one fan wrote on the same Instagram post that Camp commented on.
'If a 42 year old is with a 24 year old, it's about power or control, even on a subconscious level,' another fan said.

A third person wrote, 'No. This is not ok.'
'That kind of age difference in any relationship makes me very uncomfortable,' someone else said.
'When I was under 25 I'd have been deeply suspicious of someone over 40 who wanted to date me tbh,' a different fan wrote.

But other fans defended the 'You' star's relationship with her stylist girlfriend.
'Age gaps in queer relationships are very common and don't often elicit the same power imbalances as hetero relationships,' someone pointed out.
'She is an ADULT. She can date who she wants,' another comment read.

A different fan added, 'My dudes, they're 24 and 42, not 14 and 32. They're both consenting adults and you don't have to like it.'
After going public with their romance, Camp and Whipkey made their red carpet debut last week at the 'Bride Hard' premiere in Los Angeles.

'I left a date once because a guy was like 45 minutes late and I stayed and waited,' she explained in the video. 'Then he said that I was prettier in a movie than I was in person, because I'm an actor and I was like, 'OK, bye!''
'I don't expect anything,' Camp added when asked what she expected from a guy on a first date. 'Not anymore. Because I'm dating a woman, and it's great.'

Video Captures a Day in the Life of Vizsla Puppy
Between nap marathons, toy destruction, and snack negotiations, puppy life is anything but boring. And while humans rely on calendars and reminders, dogs seem to follow an internal clock that runs on energy spikes and snack cravings. One Vizsla puppy's 'day in the life' video proves just how eventful (and weirdly relatable) a dog's schedule can be. Otis, the playful Vizsla pup, isn't just living life; he is following a packed schedule that rivals that of a working professional. A recent Instagram video hilariously maps out his full day, complete with on-screen captions that track each moment, providing a minute-by-minute detail. The video opens with Otis waking up bright and early at 5:40 a.m., stretching and shaking off sleep before tuning into what his owner jokingly calls 'the news' at 7:00 a.m. By 11:00 a.m., hunger strikes again, and Otis lets his owner know he is ready for 'second breakfast' with a few determined barks. Later, the mid-afternoon slump hits, and Otis is shown deep in a nap at 1:00 p.m., lying on his side with his tongue hanging out. But rest time doesn't last long. By 3:00 p.m., he is back in motion, racing through the house with a fish toy clamped proudly in his mouth. The evening brings some comic relief. At 5:00 p.m., Otis grabs what looks like a tiny plush Corona beer bottle, which he happily chews on like a seasoned pub-goer. By 7:30 p.m., the 'beer' appears to have kicked in, and Otis is seen stumbling around in an adorably uncoordinated daze. Finally, Otis' day winds down at 9:00 p.m. as he crashes on the couch, ready for bed. If you plan to bring a puppy into your home, keeping them happy and well-adjusted means finding a balance of structure, play, and rest. A consistent routine helps dogs learn faster and feel more secure. Set predictable meal and potty times, offer plenty of interactive toys, and be sure to carve out quiet time for naps. Most importantly, spend quality time bonding through walks, training, or simply snuggling because, like Otis, every pup deserves a full day of fun, comfort, and care. The post Video Captures a Day in the Life of Vizsla Puppy appeared first on DogTime.

Anna Camp and Girlfriend Jade Whipkey Make Red Carpet Debut 1 Month After Confirming Romance
Anna Camp and her new girlfriend, Jade Whipkey, are red carpet official. Camp, 42, stepped out at the Los Angeles premiere of her new movie Bride Hard on Wednesday, June 18, with Whipkey by her side. The actress stunned in a sequined teal gown, while the stylist opted for a gray suit. As Camp and Whipkey posed together on the DGA Theater Complex red carpet, the Pitch Perfect alum even sweetly wrapped her arm around her partner. The couple debuted their relationship via Instagram last month after Camp previously teased she was happy with Whipkey. Anna Camp Passionately Kisses New Girlfriend Jade Whipkey After Confirming Same-Sex Romance 'Happiness lately happening,' Camp wrote via Instagram on March 28, uploading a carousel that featured images of Whipkey, who replied in the comments section, 'Big time happy.' Weeks earlier, Camp and Whipkey were interviewed together and teased her relationship status. 'Well, I don't expect anything anymore because I like women and it's great,' Camp said in a February social media video, sharing her worst dating experiences. 'I left a date once because a guy was, like, 45 minutes late, and I stayed and waited. Then he said that I was prettier in a movie than I was in person, because I'm an actor, and I was like, 'OK, bye.'' Later during the interview, Camp joked that being 'married to a guy' by the age of 30 was one of life's biggest conspiracies. 'That in order to be happy, you have to be married to a guy, with children, at, like, 30 or something,' she said at the time. 'That's a conspiracy. That's not true. I grew up in the South, and people told me that I basically had to do that.' Camp was married to actor Michael Mosley from 2010 to 2013 and her Pitch Perfect costar Skylar Astin from 2016 to 2019. She now remains on amicable terms with her exes, revealing on a May episode of the 'Podcrushed' podcast that she occasionally chats with Mosley, 46, post-divorce. 5 Things to Know About Anna Camp's Girlfriend: Celebrity Styling, Famous Clients, More 'It was like an out on the town [night] in Union Square with a couple of friends,' she said on the podcast episode, revealing how she met Mosley in New York City when she was 21. 'I was not planning [on it]. … So we met very young. It was like a one-night stand that lasted seven years. I was not planning [on it]. … So we met very young. It was like a one-night stand that lasted seven years. I changed so much when we both moved from New York to L.A. together.' She added, 'So, to have it just not be working at all and having us be totally different people, that was really, really, really hard. That was definitely a heartbreak of mine.'
