ush-AH, ush-AH, ush-AH! Right on. I knew I always liked that guy..... well, his music, anyway. Now I know he's a lad with good taste...

There's a country music star who's married to an older woman - like 15 + years older. Ummmmm... who is that....


EDIT: had to go look it up - Randy Travis!

Really? I actually had no idea!

Randy Travis! Go Randy!!!

[Alawiy]

They aren't engaged (nor married), but I think they have been together for a good many years already.

There's a 21 year age gap between them.

Oh shoot I see from the article below... he had an affair during a 2005 split from her and fathered a child... but I guess they were committed to their relationship and working things out... Are they are still together?

Here's a story about them:

Yes. I think her name is Lib (short for Elizabeth) and they've been married since 1991, if I'm not mistaken. I'll look it up right now.

I've read some things about the history of their relationship, which is long and complex. Essentially, it seems that they both had some hard times and they found each other. They seem to be happy and very close...so good for them. It is very difficult to find Lib's age anywhere on the web. I have a feeling it's a closely guarded secret. She sounds like a fascinating woman.

Here are some photos of Randy and Lib...maybe you can try to guess her age.

I know he said once that she's something like 15 yrs older than him.

Hu, I can't even begin to guess her age. Frankly, if you look at some of the close up pictures, and just look at their faces, he actually looks older than her. Am I the only that thinks that?

And shoot, that gives me hope, since my b/f is 14 years younger than I am.

Nope, not the only one. I think he looks older too! I read his bio, and it sounds like he's lived a bit.

Since we are on the topic, what is the age gap between Celine Dion and her husband? Anybody know?

Thanks

I have a feeling Randy Travis' wife is A LOT older than she looks in the photos, which are fairly recent...I think in the past few years. The first one is this year I think. Randy is 47. So even if she's 15 years older, she's got to be at least early 60s. I remember reading somewhere years ago that she was about 20 years or more older than him and they didn't show a photo and the way the article described it, it sounded like she was some old lady ready for the nursing home...lol...that was the "tone" in the article...and somehow the suggestion was that it was "in name only", that they had "become close" or something like that because she was his manager and had even been his court-appointed guardian for a while when he was under 18...this was around the time they got married, in the early 90s. So all these years I was thinking, oh, the woman must be in a wheelchair by now. When I saw the photos...I'm thinking...that's not the "picture" that article years ago had painted...she's much more attractive/cuter...I'm picturing someone who looks like his great-grandmother. I was pleasantly surprised.

And yes, there IS hope! He looks older for his age, and she looks younger for her age. And they seem to meet in-between. See how men age too? Conversely, there are a lot of woman who can age gracefully!

I love Randy Travis (it's a sick addiction and there's no hope!).

They've been married for a bunch of years (1991). She was/still is his manager. He's a bit of a wild one at heart so someone has to hold tight to them reins.

But I'm not sure how much older than him she is (I think it's been hinted at about 20+ years). They met when he was like 16 and she was married. I know the father-in-law was banned from some club for a while because he made comments about the relationship. Don't know if they ever patched it up.

Barbara Hershey and the guy from Lost I stopped following after the child incident. I couldn't admire them for that. He denied the child and she denied he cheated. Tacky on both sides. But I do believe they are still together. This is the second AGR for him. He has a child with his ex (wife? not sure if they married). She was his teacher in England. He actually lived in the same house with her and her husband while he was a teenager.

The two that I think of immediately are Tim Robbins/Susan Sarandon (left pic) and Geena Davis/Dr. Reza Jarrahy (right pic) (because they both have about the same AGR as me 14/15 years) Both women are drop dead gorgeous and show that you can be absolutely hot AND the older counterpart! They are sexy women for 50+ and prove that even in Hollywood you can age gracefully and more natural than most who are determined to plast-i-cize themselves away.

Thanks Ohiosweetheart! I always wondered what her gap was.
