Italian millionaire and viral internet sensation Gianluca Vacchi took to Instagram with his Venezuelan model girlfriend Sharon Fonseca on Mother's Day to make a big announcement. They are having a baby together! The two have been Instagram official since 2018 and despite Gianluca being much older than Sharon, he's 52 and she's 24, this will be the first child for both of them. They both seem thrilled to be embarking on the journey of parenthood together.
More from MamásLatinas: Latina celebrity couples who make us believe in love
How perfect is it that the couple shared that Sharon is going to be a mother on Mother's Day? We love the timing. We're hoping we will get to follow along and wish them well throughout the pregnancy since the couple is very active on social media. Sharon isn't showing at all at the moment–or at least she isn't in the pregnancy announcement that they shared—so we'll be keeping an eye out for her growing baby bump.
We've got the pregnancy announcement video coming right up for you, but we didn't stop there. Gianluca and Sharon got us to thinking of some other celebrity couples that have a significant age difference between them. Some of them have managed to have successful long-term relationships, while others not so much. Then there are those like Marc Anthony, who repeatedly date younger partners. Take a look for yourself.
Gianluca Vacchi and Sharon Fonseca are 28 years apart.
Gianluca and Sharon have been an item since 2018. All you have to do is peep at either one of their Instagram accounts to see how prominently they are in each other's online lives. Well, it isn't just an act they put on for social media because the two announced on May 10, Mother's Day in many countries, that they are having a baby together. They both seem over the moon about it. This will be the first child for both of them. Gianluca is 52 and Sharon is 24.
Marc Anthony and Jessica Lynne Harris are 23 years apart.
In September 2019, Marc Anthony brought model Jessica Lynne Harris to a sporting event that his daughter Emme was participating in. Emme is one of the two children that Marc shares with Jennifer Lopez. The age difference between Marc and Jessica seems significant, but it's not out of the norm for Marc to date much younger women as you will see.
Alec and Hilaria Baldwin are 26 years apart.
Alec is 62 and his beautiful wife, Hilaria, is 36. They really are the cutest together though. They were married on June 30, 2012 and are currently expecting their fifth child together. Yes, fifth! As in one, two, three, four, FIVE!
Marc Anthony and Mariana Downing are 27 years apart.
In 2017 and 2018, salsero Marc Anthony and Dominican model Mariana Downing were seen canoodling here and there. It never seemed to get too serious between the pair, though. Who knows if the age difference had anything to do with it?
Marc Anthony and Shannon de Lima are 19 years apart.
Marc Anthony and Shannon De Lima were married from 2014 to 2017. She was his fourth wife, his third was Jennifer Lopez. Marc is 19 years older than the Venezuelan model ex-wife.
Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart are 18 years apart.
Remember when Jennifer and Casper were a thing? We do! J.Lo started dating Casper back in 2011 when he was a dancer on her tour. They officially broke things off in 2016. Jennifer is 18 years older than Casper, but we're sure Casper didn't mind one bit.
Jennifer Lopez and Drake are 17 years apart.
Rumors started circling in late 2016 that Jennifer and Drake were dating after J.Lo posted a cuddly picture of the two of them to Instagram. Neither one of them has confirmed that they ever actually dated. Maybe they were just cold and decided to cuddle for that picture to stay warm and give us all something to talk about. Regardless, there is a 17-year age difference between them.
Shakira is 10 years older than Gerard Piqué.
You can’t tell just by looking at them, but Shakira is actually a decade older than her boyfriend and baby daddy, Gerard Piqué. They have been a couple since 2011 and have two sons together. They don't have any plans to marry, which is fine because whatever they are doing seems to work for them.
Adamari Lopez and Toni Costa are 11 years apart.
One of our favorites couple has an age gap: the Puerto Rican star is 11 years older than her boyfriend, Toni Costa. We just love them together as they seem so in love. Oh, and they have a daughter, Alaïa, together.
Thalía and Tommy Mottola are 22 years apart.

Kylie and Tyga are 8 years apart.
Their age gap isn’t huge but there was a lot of controversy over the relationship when they first dated, because Tyga was 24 and Kylie was only 17. They were off and on for quite some time. Then Kylie started dating Travis Scott in 2017 and they had a daughter, Stormi Webster, in 2018. As to whether Kylie and Travis are currently together, your guess is as good as ours.
Ninel Conde and Giovanni Medina are more than a handful of years apart.
We’re still not sure if these two are together, but we’re we do know there’s an age gap because Ninel is 43 and Giovanni is in his early 30s. They haven't had the smoothest of relationships, which is too bad since they have a child together. Whether they are together or apart, their son Emmanuel needs both of them.
Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling are 7 years apart.
It’s not a big age gap, but it proves that Eva Mendes clearly doesn’t have a problem being in a relationship with a man who's a little younger. Eva is 46 and Ryan is 39. Either way, they’re gorgeous together and so are their two daughters!
Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are 10 years apart.
The iconic singer married the America's Got Talent host in 2008, but they split back in 2014. They remain in each other's lives, though because they share twins Moroccan and Monroe, who were born in 2011. "I don't believe in marriage anymore," Nick Cannon said after their divorce.
Mary Kate Olsen and Olivier Sarkozy are 17 years apart.
Mary Kate is 30 and Olivier Sarkozy is 50. The two got married on November 27, 2015, but Mary Kate filed for divorce in March 2020. Oh, and in case you weren't aware, Olivier's half-brother used to be the president of France. No big deal.
Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher are 15 years apart.
The two were married from 2005 to 2013. Demi has written about her relationship with Ashton in her memoir "Inside Out" and she does not paint a pretty picture. Ashton eventually married former co-star and friend Mila Kunis who is currently, who is five years his junior. Ashton and Mila have two children together.

Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas are 25 years apart.
Michael is 75 and Catherine is 50. They have been married since 2000 and have two children together. Apparently, the first time he met her, he used a pretty cheesy pick up line. "You know, I'm going to be the father of your children," he said. It might not have worked at first, but it did in the long run.
Woody Allen and wife Soon-Yi Previn are 35 years apart.
The film director and actor is 84 and his wife is 49. Besides the fact there's a whole lifetime of age difference between them, Soon-Yi started off as Woody Allen's adopted daughter from a previous relationship he had with Mia Farrow. Woody and Soon-Yi now have two children together.
