On another website, I saw the photos from the Jingle Ball red carpet. And first off let me say . . . Jingle Ball? Really?

Anyway, IMO the g/f looks even younger than 20. And in general, NR's age seems to be catching up to him . . . lately he's been looking gaunt, tired and ragged. Standing next to such a young woman, he looks even older than his 44 years. If one of the reasons for dating someone less than half his age is to look/feel younger, it isn't working; at least not from a visual standpoint.

Lol jingle ball...yes i agree he does look older and tbh i thought he had more sense then that. hmm im 34 so i can either date a 15 yr old or a 56 yr old....smh

Why should their age matter? He's not committing any crimes and he's not hurting anyone. It's his life anyway. And if u wanna say something about age difference, Michael Douglas is 25 yrs older than Carherine Zeta Jones but I don't hear anyone talking about their age difference. And no one knows wat goes on with them except wat she's posted on IG. They're both adults who can do as they please.

You can't compare Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones to this situation. It isn't just the age difference, its the fact that the girl is 20 - she is barely out of her teens. Two years ago she was picking out prom dresses. She still can't walk into a bar and legally order a drink. Now having a drink isn't a sign of maturity, but it still speaks volumes. Personally, I don't care what these two do, they are just a curiosity. But they still creep me out.

There are girls out there younger than this girls who marrying men older than them, some 2x's or 3x's their age and people are bothered by these two? What about all the little girls out there who are forced to become child brides? Think about that the next time u feel bothered by these two.

And like I said they're both consenting adults and its their lives, their choice. No one's forcing them to be together. She may have been a teen not too long ago but she's not anymore, she's a grown woman, has been since the day she turned 18 so she free to chose who she is with. She obviously knows wat she's doing. I don't why their relationship bothers anyone anyway, it has no effect on anyone else.

Sorry, but 20 years old isn't a grown up, and certainly 18 isn't, either. The human brain doesn't stop developing until age 25, particularly the prefrontal cortex. Skills such as decision making, use of appropriate judgment, rational thinking, integration of emotion & critical thinking, ability to think clearly about long-term outcomes, global thinking vs. self-centered thinking -- ALL of these things are limited and compromised until you reach the age of 25.

That's why your analogy with Catherine Zeta-Jones doesn't work. Catherine had fully matured before she met Michael. At only 20 years old, Ceceilia still has an immature, developing brain, with all the bad judgement and limited cognition that goes with it. Age does matter.

You clearly have no idea what you're talking about.

I don't like the way blood money spends.

When I saw the Jingle Ball pics I thought of a line in City Slickers, when Billy Crystal tells Bruno Kirby "the older you get, the younger your girlfriends get. Soon you'll be dating sperm."



This is the best line ever! The fact that it's appropriate for Reedus dating history may piss people off but sorry the girls get younger as he gets older
It's their lives & I don't care either way. Darly was always more interesting than Rick/Shane & that's why I liked the character.

BTW: If they do break up in the next few months or years, can we take bets on the next girl's age? (though I doubt he'll wanna be bumping into her parents at back to school night)
