Ghanaian actor and Deputy Secretary of the National Film Authority (NFA), James Gardiner, stressed that he is not interested in sugar mummies for romantic relationships.

He had said in an interview with Nollywire, shared on Instagram on August 17, that he does not frown on dating older women.

However, he clarified that it also doesn't automatically mean he is interested in sugar mommies.

"I don't like sugar mommies, ooh," he clarified.

'Running to You' hitmaker Chike also admitted to why he prefers older women over younger ones.

The singer-songwriter and actor from Nigeria made a guest appearance on the Unpack with Nay podcast.

According to Chike, "most" young women "can’t communicate properly".

In his experience, when one eventually finds "a woman who can communicate, they are slightly advanced in age".

Revealing what he views as, perhaps, an average young woman, he intimated, "a girl of 23 years" cannot articulate her thoughts and desires.

The artist behind the hit song "Running to You" shared his perspective, highlighting that a significant number of young women are entangled in social media addiction, lack the discretion for a discreet relationship, possess an incomplete understanding of life, and struggle with handling situations in a mature manner.

Expressing his thoughts, he stated, "Imagine I'm involved with a 23-year-old; what complexities can she navigate? What depth can she comprehend? She might just want to take pictures and be on Instagram, broadcasting our relationship to everyone. What meaningful connection can I establish with such an individual?"

Now 30 years old, he acknowledged that there might be exceptions among young women but emphasized that finding such exceptions is genuinely rare.

Chike clarified that his emphasis on peace of mind and compatibility guides his preference for dating older women, a preference reflected in his two most recent relationships.

In a world where age gaps in romantic relationships are often frowned upon, some celebrity couples have broken the mould and found love with older partners.

From Ghanaian actor Van Vicker and his wife Adwoa Hatsiman to Nana Ama McBrown and Maxwell Mawu Mensah, and Captain Planet 4x4 and Uche Ofodile, these couples have defied societal expectations and proved that love knows no age.

And for what it’s worth, these celebrities also happen to have some of the most rock-solid marriages and relationships in entertainment.

Here are three celebrities:
