When it comes to major age gaps in relationships, Hollywood has plenty to choose from. From Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively to Heidi Klum and Tom Kaulitz, some of our favorite celebrity couples have surprising age differences between them. And while the phenomenon might be common in Tinseltown, it doesn’t mean these celebrities aren’t immune to some raised eyebrows.
Sienna Miller, who is currently dating fellow actor Oli Green, who just happens to be 15 years younger than her, knows that well. In fact, it seems like Miller completely understands where the criticism is coming from.
“I would imagine it would be complicated for anyone to get their head around, but there’s been nothing but love and joy,” Miller, who’s currently expecting her first baby with Green, recently told Vogue. “I don’t think you can legislate on matters of the heart,” she continued. “I certainly have never been able to.”
According to her, critics who say he could easily be with someone younger are only telling one side of the story. “For Oli, it is real that I might want to be with someone older,” she explained.
Most of all, Miller said she thinks her partner, and his generation, have a different understanding of women and relationship dynamics than she had expected. “I see it with Oli’s friends,” she said. “There’s awareness of the dynamics that enter relationships between men and women now that we just didn’t have 20 or 25 years ago. I feel like my whole adolescence was dodging bullets and advances in a really delicate way, to not offend somebody. Whereas the girls that he grew up with, they’re probably like, ‘No—no, thank you. Moving on.'”
Also in the interview, Miller talked about their first dates together back in 2021. According to her, Green kissed her right away. “I was like, ‘This is absurd. This will not go anywhere,'” she recalled. “And then he worked hard to persuade me to go out for a drink with him.”
On that date, Miller asked for one of her best friends, fellow actress Emily Blunt, for company. “When I got there, it was so beautiful between them,” Blunt told the outlet. “I just gave her a hug and went, ‘I’m going to slip away.'” Looks like Blunt knows love when she sees it!
“I see so much of her in him,” Blunt said of Green. “In that free-spirited, curious, guileless thing that he has. He’s the kind of guy you could just bring anywhere, and everyone would love him,” she continued. “She just needed the right person, and I really see that in him.” Kudos to the happy couple!
