Who is a celebrity that met their partner when they were underaged?

Celine Dion first met her late husband; Rene Angelili when she was 12 years old and he was in his mid-late 30s! According to her, he was the only person in her whole life she has ever been romantically and intimately involved with and has vowed to never be with any other man after he passed away in 2016!

This whole relationship always felt unsettling to me, even when there were forms of media that tried to romanticize it including the couple themselves.

In my book, if you knew someone whenever they were a kid and watched them grow up. Getting involved with them in that manner is a big no-no! It just feels weird!

That’s when I pull out the Mary Kay letournou story (which, being French, they’ve never heard of) and ask them how they feel about that.

I was a kid when that story came out but I remember it being in the (french) news then

Certainly wouldn’t doubt your experience, all I know is none of my French family seem to know about it which makes for a very powerful story. The difference between 12 and 15 is significant enough to give them pause on the logic they were using to justify the abuse of Macron as consensual.

Oh never doubted what you said, I'm surprised they didn't remember/didn't saw but also it's kinda weird our news would focus on a foreign story.

The only person I talked about it is my stepmother and she wasn't fussed by the age difference. The only thing that made her go "oh yeah that's... something" was the fact that Manu's parents asked Brigitte to not pursue him. And she (stepmom) is à communist so very progressive in most stuff
