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."
