in Southern California and the Rams are coming off a second straight playoff appearance Their 2025 outlook is certainly brighter than that of Las Vegas or New York keeping Stafford bought the front office more time to survey possible succession plans having the Atlanta Falcons' 2026 first-rounder It won't come as a shock if the Rams ultimately let Stafford go next offseason and hand the baton off to a younger signal-caller Matthew Stafford isn't ready to close the book on his Hollywood career just yet The Los Angeles Rams quarterback agreed to a new deal at the NFL combine that would keep him in the City of Angels During the combine, it was reported that Tom Brady was recruiting Stafford to join the silver-and-black Stafford was reportedly seeking $50 million a year, according to NFL Network's Peter Schrager Now they keep Stafford in the fold to make another run in 2025 Here's how much it'll cost the Rams to keep the quarterback in town Stafford agreed to a two-year, $84 million deal, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport It represents an increase from the two-year $58 million he had left on the previous contract The quarterback is set to earn $44 million this season He's already been paid $4 million and the remaining $40 million is fully guaranteed Stafford would earn $40 million next season if he remains on the Rams' roster at the start of free agency With the new deal, Stafford is the NFL's 15th highest-paid quarterback in terms of average annual value (AAV), according to OverTheCap we know a bit more about what his new contract looks like According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, Stafford's pact with the Rams will see him earn $44 million in 2025 If he's on the roster at the start of free agency in 2026 Stafford had two years and $58 million left on his deal He played the first 12 years of his career with the Detroit Lions before being traded to Los Angeles in 2021 He led the team to a Super Bowl victory in his first year with the franchise in what

Stafford during the 2024 NFL season The Los Angeles Rams and Matthew Stafford are in a year-to-year relationship but Sean McVay hopes it's more than just one more run with the veteran quarterback "We have a chance with him every time he's at the switch, and love working with him. And I think he can play as long as he wants, but fortunately, I'm hoping it's a couple more years," McVay told Adam Schein on SiriusXM's Mad Dog Sports Radio Stafford expressed his desire to always remain in L.A McVay told Schein that the honest conversations with Stafford have allowed the two most important Rams employees to get closer "When you're able to have real conversations with people you love and care about "And there is no question in my mind that he and I are closer than ever there's a lot of gratitude that we were able to work through some of those things I heard (general manager) Les (Snead) say it And I think there is kind of a renewal of appreciation for the opportunity to continue to work together It doesn't go lost on me how fortunate I am to be able to work with somebody as special as he is and more importantly what he means with how he moves as a man and how he positively affects and influences his teammates and people he's around." The Super Bowl-winning quarterback has helped keep the Rams contenders despite the roster-churning as L.A recalibrated from its years of shelling out for a Lombardi The 2024 upstart Rams won the NFC West and beat the Vikings in the postseason They gave the Super Bowl champion Eagles their most competitive playoff game in the Divisional Round with Stafford having a chance to win it late McVay said that Stafford is feeling good physically after his 16th season "I think he came out of this season feeling really good physically," McVay said "And one of the things that I think is a tremendous credit to him you look at [those] playoff games that he's played in with us he did everything in his power to try to will us to a victory against an excellent Detroit football team in '23 and he does his thing against Philadelphia."

Wrote Reid. "Stafford will turn 38 before the 2026 season so this is a great spot for the Rams to pick Nussmeier whose 79.1 QBR ranked 11th in the FBS in 2024 Nussmeier's arm is more flexible than powerful and his anticipation skills result in some of the most exciting throws I've seen on tape Interceptions are an issue -- he threw multiple picks in four games last season -- but he could be a first-round pick if he cleans those up." Nussmeier was the third quarterback off the board with Clemson's Cade Klubnik going first to the Browns and South Carolina's LaNorris Sellers heading to the Jets at three Perhaps this opinion will change if Nussmeier takes a massive step in 2025 but there were too many games that left questions about his ability to beat top defenses he also had excellent weapons such as the late Kyren Lacy Nussmeier looked awful against South Carolina but it is concerning that his three worst games came against teams that were the closest resemblance to an NFL defense The Rams have a decision to make and if they like him then come on down Nussmeier but there if they pick a quarterback Ensure you follow on X (Twitter) @RamsInsideronSI and tell us what you think about this QB option Please let us know your thoughts on this QB option when you like our Facebook page WHEN YOU CLICK RIGHT HERE BROCK VIERRABrock Vierra, a UNLV graduate, is the Los Angeles Rams Beat Writer On Sports Illustrated. He also works as a college football reporter for our On Sports Illustrated team. The 2025 NFL Draft has come and gone but draft preparation is a year-round process That means it’s time for a 2026 NFL Mock Draft A lot will change between now and next April’s draft. That said, a way-too-early mock can still provide valuable insight into what needs NFL teams have after the 2025 NFL Draft. It also highlights top prospects to watch in the coming college football season The draft order comes from PFSN’s 2026 NFL Mock Draft simulator which you can use to create your own mocks LaNorris Sellers isn’t the consensus QB1 in the 2026 class but he might have the best physical tools of any quarterback in college football Even though the Cleveland Browns drafted Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders in 2025 neither came with the kind of draft capital that signals long-term commitment If Cleveland finishes with the league’s worst record they’d be smart to take a swing at a true franchise QB The New York Jets signed Justin Fields to a two-year deal That would put them right back in the market for a long-term quarterback Some critics soured on Nico Iamaleava after his last-minute transfer from Tennessee but there’s a reason his exit shook the college football world The New Orleans Saints drafted Tyler Shough in Round 2 this year but the idea of a Manning leading the offense in New Orleans feels right Arch Manning enters the 2025 season with just two college starts under his belt and he still needs to improve his footwork and feel for backside pressure and has a live arm with strong off-platform mechanics He’s not QB1 yet — but he’s a clear top-three pick in this mock With Cam Ward now at quarterback, the Tennessee Titans must build around him during his rookie contract window He’s the kind of edge rusher who can anchor a defense The Giants made some big swings in 2025 with Abdul Carter and Jaxson Dart high-IQ 3-tech with violent hands and pass-rush counters he can control gaps and make an impact inside He’s a potential game-changer on the defensive line Wonnum and Jadeveon Clowney set to hit free agency He had 11 sacks as a sophomore and flashed great burst Even after signing Camryn Bynum this offseason, the Indianapolis Colts could still use an upgrade at safety the 2026 NFL Draft features one of the best safety prospects in recent memory There was early buzz that Cleveland might target Abdul Carter at No they’re still positioned to land a top-tier edge rusher Keldric Faulk is a rare athlete at 6’6″ and 288 pounds His burst off the ball and backside pursuit range are impressive giving him every tool to be a dominant defensive force Pete Carroll understands better than most how crucial a strong offensive line is and the Raiders need to get more consistent up front That makes offensive tackle a key target in this mock he’s a massive presence with long arms and powerful hands He’s not just big — he’s coordinated and technically sharp He checks every box for a long-term NFL left tackle He’s an accurate passer with good poise in the pocket and underrated mobility and decision-making make him a great fit in Sean McVay’s offense He could be a strong long-term answer under center in Los Angeles The Arizona Cardinals look to have a long-term building block in Paris Johnson Jr. but they’ll need a complement on the opposite side Right tackle remains a need if they want to solidify the offensive line the younger brother of Jets linebacker Francisco Mauigoa there’s a good chance he’s a first-round lock That opens the door for Dallas to invest in another high-end corner He snagged four interceptions in 2024 and showed quick feet and capable of handling field-side and boundary responsibilities Safety stands out as a clear area for improvement entering 2025 Dillon Thieneman’s production dipped in 2024 but his transfer to Oregon could help him return to form he had six interceptions and showed elite range high-upside free safety with playmaker potential New England bolstered its defensive front with Milton Williams and Harold Landry Dani Dennis-Sutton broke out with 8.5 sacks in 2024 and likely would’ve been a Day 2 pick had he declared last year explosive edge defender who has developed well as a pass-rush technician He’d bring real juice to the Patriots’ front seven The Seattle Seahawks could extend Kenneth Walker after the 2025 season they let him walk and find a cheaper replacement with major upside Jeremiyah Love isn’t far from the Ashton Jeanty comparisons you’ll hear in this class He’d be a natural fit in Seattle’s offense The Chicago Bears have a few options at left tackle moving forward or turn to Ozzy Trapilo or Kiran Amegadjie But if they feel uneasy about the position after 2025 left tackle becomes a realistic Round 1 priority Isaiah World excelled at Nevada and now brings his game to Oregon mobile lineman who posted an 82.3 pass-blocking grade last season especially if they miss the playoffs again Caleb Lomu is a smooth left tackle who only allowed two sacks on 425 pass-blocking snaps in 2024 and range in pass protection make him a top tackle prospect Minnesota’s front seven is loaded after signing Jonathan Allen and Javon Hargrave DJ McKinney made a name for himself across from Travis Hunter in Colorado’s defensive backfield tallying three interceptions and nine pass deflections He’s a 6’2″ corner with length and NFL-ready ball skills — just what the Vikings need on the boundary Sixth-round pick Will Howard was a solid flier, but the Pittsburgh Steelers may still be searching for their next franchise quarterback His pocket presence and decision-making stand out LSU has quietly become a factory for pro-ready quarterbacks Bo Nix and Sean Payton have Denver’s offense trending upward but they could use another dynamic pass-catcher to elevate the unit Antonio Williams caught 75 passes for 904 yards and 11 scores last year and sharp route-running make him a tough cover — and a potential riser in a weaker wide receiver class Caleb Banks wouldn’t have to go far in this mock The Florida standout is a 6’6″ 325-pound interior lineman with more pass-rush juice than expected for a player his size He’s powerful and disruptive — a solid fit for Tampa’s defensive line rotation The Los Angeles Chargers declined Zion Johnson’s fifth-year option suggesting they could move on unless he makes a leap in 2025 Interior O-line help becomes a top priority here Though Spencer Fano played tackle in college and technically sound — traits that could translate to immediate value inside Edgerrin Cooper is one of the Green Bay Packers’ more intriguing young players They go back to Texas in Round 1 for the second straight year and rangy — built to thrive as a sideline-to-sideline off-ball linebacker with major blitz upside the Rams turn their attention to the secondary with their second first-rounder they target help in the defensive backfield Will Lee III is a long 6’3″ corner with surprising agility and solid ball skills He’s totaled four interceptions and 16 pass breakups across his last two college seasons showing the traits needed to thrive on the boundary he scored 12 touchdowns on just 43 catches last season With Tee Higgins, Ja’Marr Chase and Joe Burrow all locked up Cincinnati should focus on rebuilding the defense Avieon Terrell, the younger brother of Falcons corner A.J. Terrell is a high-IQ cover man with excellent speed and short-area burst he notched two interceptions and 12 pass breakups for Clemson Washington’s offense broke out in 2024, but they still lack a dependable, every-down back. Nicholas Singleton could fill that role Singleton is a downhill bruiser who thrives in straight-line runs and consistently moves the chains — an ideal addition for a balanced offense Baltimore never shies away from drafting talent they bolster the pass rush behind Kyle Van Noy and Odafe Oweh had 10.5 sacks in 2024 and earned first-team All-Big Ten honors He’s an advanced technician for his age with inside-outside versatility and great hand usage Detroit has few holes, but with Alex Anzalone nearing free agency Harold Perkins Jr. racked up 13 sacks in two seasons before an ACL tear ended his junior year early and effective blitzing or chasing in space The Buffalo Bills are deep up front but with Da’Quan Jones likely departing in 2026 Christen Miller is a stout run defender with upside on passing downs He earned an 82.2 PFF grade in 2024 and should get more reps in 2025 to boost his stock Travis Kelce can’t play forever the Chiefs may start grooming his eventual replacement Max Klare had 51 catches for 685 yards and four TDs at Purdue before transferring to Ohio State He’s a smooth athlete and dependable target underneath with plenty of upside Philly’s starting duo of Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean looks strong but a third outside corner could solidify the group Malik Muhammad is a scrappy cover man who broke up eight passes last year and brings solid all-around athleticism to a secondary that’s almost complete Matthew Stafford was asked about why he decided to return to the Rams after testing the market “It wasn’t something that happened on that Friday during that meeting It’s not one thing that sits there and goes There's one thing that makes me want to come back.’ There are so many positive things about our organization and about our team." I’m just happy to be back and happy that the Rams want me back We can move forward and hopefully have a great season.” Stafford got about $40 million more positive things on Monday The Rams and Matthew Stafford have a new deal in place as reported by NFL Insider Ian Rapoport In 2025, Stafford will earn $44 million in an essentially fully guaranteed deal for this season. However the idea that this is Stafford's swan song year couldn't be further from the truth as the terms indicate plans for Stafford to remain with Los Angeles through 2026 "If Matthew Stafford is on the Rams roster next [year] at the start of FA [Free Agency], he’ll lock in another $40M. Stafford was on the books for $58M over 2 years, now it's $84M over 2 years. Wrote Rapoport. "Coach Sean McVay recently told Adam Schein of Mad Dog Unleashed Radio 'I think he can play as long as he wants I'm hoping it's a couple more years." This is how it affects the Rams. According to overthecap.com Stafford has a cap hit of $47.4 million in 2025 and $48.2 million in 2026 Stafford also has a $33 million cap hit in 2027 with that coming on a void year Keep in mind the Rams are still paying off Aaron Donald despite Donald retiring after the 2023 season so it's common practice it doesn't hurt the Rams at all in 2025 more than enough to sign their 2025 NFL Draft class and have a healthy amount remaining for the season It does impact Jalen Ramsey trade talks as now that Stafford's deal is finalized there is an amount Miami must minimally eat of Ramsey's deal in order to facilitate a move to Los Angeles Ensure you follow on X (Twitter) @RamsInsideronSI and talk to us about Stafford's deal Please let us know your thoughts on Stafford's deal when you like our Facebook page WHEN YOU CLICK RIGHT HERE When the Rams QB earns another $40 million guaranteed he’s got another $40 million coming to him: Stafford will have $40 million guaranteed to him This number is close to already being guaranteed — if Stafford does not retire — because the Rams have little to gain by parting ways with the quarterback next year. The Rams would only save $6.4 million in cap space by releasing or trading Stafford in 2026 with nearly $42 million in dead money left on the books Because the Rams had to spread out his new money as much as possible there are also three more void years AFTER 2026 in which L.A will owe money to Stafford on the books despite not being on the roster by then That includes a $33.6 million cap number in 2027 when Stafford will be a 39-year-old free agent Stafford is well locked in for 2025 and 2026 but he’s especially locked in at the start of free agency next year In order to keep Matthew Stafford as their quarterback in 2025, the Los Angeles Rams needed to adjust his contract this offseason The two sides got to work on a revised deal after the season ended and eventually came to an agreement at the end of February Instead of making $58 million in the next two years Stafford can now earn $84 million – assuming he plays beyond just the 2025 season That’s $44 million in 2025 and $40 million in 2026 He needs to be on the roster at the start of free agency in 2026 in order to earn that $40 million The Rams don't plan to cut him after the 2025 season but if they were to Stafford got a significant raise this year upping his pay from $27 million to $44 million He also bumped his pay from $31 million to $40 million in 2026 for a total of $26 million more ($84 million vs Stafford and the Rams may have to go back to the negotiating table again next offseason but even at $40 million for 2026 Stafford will be well-compensated if no adjustments are made to his contract That should be at least a little bit of a relief for both sides after having to tweak his deal in each of the last two years The Rams have Matthew Stafford back for this season The Rams don’t have a heir apparent on the roster But they do have two first-round picks for 2026 having acquired the Falcons’ top selection for next year That gives them ammunition to trade up for a quarterback in 2026 is hoping for at least two more years out of Stafford “We have a chance with him every time he’s at the switch, and love working with him,” McVay told Adam Schein on SiriusXM’s Mad Dog Sports Radio. “And I think he can play as long as he wants, but fortunately, I’m hoping it’s a couple more years.” Stafford agreed to a revised contract this offseason to stay in Los Angeles after being given permission to seek a trade The Raiders and the Giants showed interest “When you’re able to have real conversations with people you love and care about “And there is no question in my mind that he and I are closer than ever There’s a lot of appreciation; there’s a lot of gratitude that we were able to work through some of those things I heard [General Manager] Les [Snead] say it It doesn’t go lost on me how fortunate I am to be able to work with somebody as special as he is and how he positively affects and influences his teammates and people he’s around.” He is 19-12 as a starter the past two seasons completing 64.2 percent of his passes for 7,727 yards with 44 touchdowns and 19 interceptions “I think he came out of this season feeling really good physically,” McVay said “And one of the things that I think is a tremendous credit to him you look at [those] playoff games that he’s played in with us he did everything in his power to try to will us to a victory against an excellent Detroit football team in ’23 and he does his thing against Philadelphia.” The reversal was enough for the franchise to win the NFC West division and give the Philadelphia Eagles their biggest fight during the NFL Playoffs the Rams hit the offseason with several things to address One of the biggest things was finding out where quarterback Matthew Stafford would be playing going into the future With thoughts he would take his talents elsewhere the Rams brought him back at the end of the day While Stafford is a future Hall of Fame quarterback when his career is finally over he is certainly in the back half of his playing career It's not every day that professional athletes play this late into their careers with a handful of spectacular athletes being able to do so Stafford happens to be one of those athletes but even the best of the best begin to fall apart Regardless of Stafford feeling like he is in the best shape of his career, the Rams have to have some worry that the glory days are over And it doesn't just go for the Rams quarterback The franchise did bring in veteran Davante Adams to ultimately replace Cooper Kupp Going into his age 32-33 season in the NFL he is another player that the Rams will have to keep their eyes on Adams, on the other hand, hasn't shown signs of regression, as he's been able to record over 1,000 receiving yards in his last five seasons he has youngster Puka Nacua behind him to keep him young The Rams have shown that they know how to win a football game regardless of the average age of that is representing the franchise on the field What the Rams do offer with their age is experience as players like Stafford and Adams can only look to share their wisdom as they continue to go deeper into their NFL careers Ensure you follow on X (Twitter) @RamsInsideronSI and weigh in on the 2025 Rams Please let us know your thoughts on the 2025 Rams now when you like our Facebook page WHEN YOU CLICK RIGHT HERE. The Rams have made all the moves they needed this offseason to put the league on notice that they are coming for all the teams in their way in 2025 The Rams had a good run last season but were stopped one game short of the NFC Championship game For 2025 the Rams are set at the quarterback position with Stafford holding it down for at least one more season who knows if Stafford will still be here in Los Angeles Stafford can be on the move or even retire after 2025 The Rams did not take a quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft but looking way ahead at the 2026 NFL Draft the Rams can certainly be looking for their future quarterback The 2026 quarterback draft class is deep with a lot of talented players And now that the Rams will have two first round picks The first quarterback to know is the early favorite to be the No Manning plays his college football at the University of Texas Manning is a talented quarterback; if he were in the 2025 draft would have been the number one pick Manning has everything an NFL team is looking for in a quarterback and has to ability to extend plays with his legs "Iamaleava has been the story of the offseason. And not for his on-field play, but for his highly publicized NIL dispute with Tennessee that led to a transfer to UCLA in April," said Max Chadwick of PFF. "Still, he has incredible tools and can launch up draft boards if he keeps up the level of play that he showed in the second half of last season Iamaleava posted 75.0-plus PFF overall grades in four of the Volunteers' final seven contests while leading the team to the College Football Playoff The former five-star recruit’s 81.7 PFF passing grade on the season was a top-20 mark in college football."

It's not easy to butter both sides of the bread -- adding pieces for a potential title run in the short term while also compiling for the future -- but that's exactly what Les Snead and Co. have done," Edholm said "Perhaps the Falcons' trade offer should be classified as pennies from heaven, allowing the Rams to extract a 2026 first-round pick for the cost of sliding down a mere 20 spots Trading up three times on Day 3 reinforced the urgency the Rams are facing with Matthew Stafford in the twilight of his career I thought they might target the offensive line in the draft but their free agency moves helped there."

Most mock drafts believed the Rams would consider taking an eventual successor for Stafford. Names like Shedeur Sanders of Colorado, Jaxson Dart of Ole Miss even Jalen Milroe of Alabama surfaced as draft possibilities Milroe visited the Rams per multiple reports -- fueling rumblings the Rams would draft him between round one to three.  Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford (9) Ultimately, the Rams dipped out of drafting a QB. Los Angeles instead handing Stafford a future weapon at tight end in Terrance Ferguson. The Rams also drafted Jarquez Hunter out of Auburn in the fourth round -- who's coming to bolster the speed and depth in the backfield.  Stafford will be heading into his fifth season with the Rams Stafford needs five more touchdown throws to hit 100 total in a Rams uniform He's also 23 touchdowns away from hitting 400 career TD throws He'll pass Matt Ryan for ninth on the all-time list among quarterbacks.  Stafford also has thrown for more than 3,000 yards in three of his first four seasons with the Rams.  Croson responded to the Jessica Cheney Bridge for an attempted suicide report A subject was sitting on the ledge of the bridge about to jump down onto I-95 traffic Deputies arrived and began conversing with the subject the pair attempted to build a rapport with the subject allowing Deputy Amato and Croson to quickly run down the embankment and begin rendering first aid Fire and Rescue staff arrived and transported the subject to a nearby hospital None of the subject’s injuries appeared to be life threatening We implore anyone having a mental health crisis to reach out for help.

News that his “expectation” for the interview to focus on his new memoir “was not honored,” despite his efforts to steer the conversation back to the book with whom I share both a personal and professional relationship stepped in to reiterate that point to help refocus the discussion,” the former New England Patriots coach said in the April 30 statement released through the University of North Carolina where he now works “She was not deflecting any specific question or topic but simply doing her job to ensure the interview stayed on track.” insisting it was promised “a wide-ranging interview” with the sports legend prior to the sitdown “There were no preconditions or limitations to this conversation,” the broadcaster said in a statement posted on X (formerly Twitter) “This was confirmed repeatedly with his publisher before the interview took place and after it was completed.” "That's really the only time when age seems to be shoved in my face and I have to give an answer for it I don't really think about it that much otherwise."And Heidi—who married Tom the following year—made it clear she's going to continue living life on her terms."You have to just live a happy life without worrying too much about what people think," the supermodel continued "because worrying is only going to give you more wrinkles."  "I find it really amazing when you flip it and the guy is older no one cares and actually people like it." Sam Taylor-Johnson & Aaron Taylor-Johnson And it comes up on the outside perspective of people who don’t know us because I guess people will always...We’re a bit of an anomaly but it’s that thing: After 14 years you just think surely by now it doesn’t really matter?”Sam even pointed out her relationship with Aaron has lasted longer than her marriage to her ex-husband Jay Jopling who is about four years older than she is."So if you think of it in that way," she continued "then the age gap doesn’t really make any difference.” Michael Douglas & Catherine Zeta-Jones it wouldn’t be normal if there weren’t any ups and downs "We've never related to someone in my life better than we do And we just couldn't be happier." 'This older man wants some young bimbo with no opinions whatsoever And then that younger woman is obviously a gold digger and she obviously doesn't even care and is just like OK I hope you die and I'm gonna take all your money.'"However she's since had a change of heart."Now that I'm in that relationship and people will say those things about me regularly Why was I so judgmental about other people who are literally just finding love?'" she added "And maybe their love looks different from you but it doesn't make it not valid." "But I knew that this was an incredibly special person.” The Alfie actress and the Lift actor know not everyone understands their relationship. “I would imagine it would be complicated for anyone to get their head around," Oli put it to Vogue while referencing their 15-year age gap "but there’s been nothing but love and joy.” And frankly Sienna suggested nobody else needs to understand it.“I don’t think you can legislate on matters of the heart," she added "I certainly have never been able to." The Jurassic Park star recalled a lighthearted moment with his Olympian wife, who is 30 years his junior."I said, 'Which Beatle would I be if I was one of the Beatles?'" he remembered on The Hoda Show I think you're thinking of that.'"However Jeff noted it didn't take Emilie long to realize she meant George Harrison "So there's that kind of thing," he noted of the couple's age gap But other than their differing cultural touchpoints life together is "so far so good." Rosie Huntington-Whiteley & Jason Statham The model also doesn't feel the need to deliver a fast and furious response to any critics of her 20-year age gap with the actor."His knowledge and strength are really inspiring and attractive, and that can come with a man who's had a bit of time," she told Glamour in 2013 "We have a connection that has nothing to do with age but if you have someone at home who thinks you're the greatest person in the world As for how the American Idol alum feels about any judgment towards her nearly 35-year age gap with the composer? Probably so over it."I totally get the judgment initially, but things are never as they appear," Katharine said on Dr. Berlin's Informed Pregnancy Podcast in 2023 "And I'm in love with our love story and that's all that matters is that I'm in love with the love story." “It’s not something that I ever thought would ever happen you know I thought 30-year-olds were too young for me.” And while Kristin said she understands how “it looks to the outside world,” she insisted Mark is “not a typical 24-year-old” and that there’s more to a person than their birth year “I really think age is just a number,” she continued “It’s what you’ve been through in your life There are just so many factors that go into maturity other than age.”But months later “I just know long-term he needs to experience life,” she said on an October episode of her podcast I started to feel the age a bit just with life experience I look back when I was 24 and how much life has happened for me in between then This is when you find yourself and he needs to be able to do that.”Still she called their romance "the best relationship" of her life and expressed hope that Mark will realize their split was for the best."I know that one day he will look back and he will understand it," she added "and I actually think one day he will thank me." When the Oscar winner first started crushing on the barrister, he wasn't sure she'd feel the same way.“I liked her, but I didn’t want to jump the shark on it,” George said on The Howard Stern Show about his early romance with Amal ‘Cause I’m 17 years older than her so she might’ve thought I was grandpa.”However it turns out she liked him right back and they wed in 2014 Age is only a number for the Bachelor alum, who is 18 years older than his wife. As he put it during a March 2025 episode of his The Viall Files podcast, "When it comes to age gaps, looks matter." Your source for entertainment news, celebrities, celeb news, and ​celebrity gossip.
