Celebrities dating younger guys are on the rise with the likes of Kym Marsh and Katie Price both dating men far younger.
Corrie’s Kym, 48, is now dating 29-year-old Samuel Thomas, making it a 19-year age gap. Whereas the Pricey, 46, is dating JJ Slater, 31, who is 14 years younger.
Many fans have questioned why this may be, but Naked Attraction icon Chrissie Wunna can totally relate. Chrissie, 43, is now dating Cameron Coxe, 25, who plays for Borehamwood F.C.

Talking about her age gap romance, she exclusively told Daily Star: “We just get on really well, I think 20s and 40s get on really well. In your 20s, you’re having fun and then at 40 you’ve done everything you need to do so can go back to enjoying life again.
“It’s just that tricky in-between stage in your 30s, which was really tricky for me because I was getting divorced every second and popping babies out. But there are loads of toy-boys about now like Katie Price and Kym Marsh. We all have loads in common, they’re in the early stages of fun and we’re done with all the stress, and now back to fun.”
But why do middle-aged stars end up going for younger partners? Chrissie answered: “Well, I think they’ve just been through hard times. Men our own age feel like if they’re not doing better than us, then we won’t like them and they’re in their head a lot, and they’ve gone through heartbreak before.
“Whereas, say someone younger, they’re not jaded yet. They still have a good time and it’s not so serious where you still get treated like a girlfriend and not like someone’s scrubbing gusset’s wife.”
Chrissie added: “But it was always exciting right from day one, with me and Cameron. Even when we first met, we were both really chatty and we just get one another.”
The TV star, who has a huge male following, says her fans are unexpectedly happy for her. She continued: “It’s really weird because I have like a 90% male fan base so you would think if I said I’m dating now they would be like ‘Nooo!’. Kym Marsh got so much hate, I’m not sure if Katie did, but the reason I got so much love is because Cameron plays football.”
