The 83-year-old actor, Al Pacino, is expecting a child from his 29-year-old girlfriend, Nour Al-Falah, who is almost 54 years his junior.
In the US, the percentage of relationships in which the age gap is greater than 10 years is 10%, those in which the gap is more than 30 years is 0.5%, and those in which the gap is more than 50 years is 0.05%.
Age gaps are also getting smaller in the United States, with the average gap between females and males now being 2.2 years. But if you go back about 50 years, it was 3 years, and if you go back to 1920, it was about 4.4 years, which means that the age gaps have fallen by half.
