We can all think of a celebrity cougar or two who has defied the odds and dated/married younger – sometimes much younger – men (I’m looking at you J.Lo!). Sometimes those pairs looked like a hot arse mess from the start but others made us think, “I’m trying to be like you when I get older!” This list is for those ladies who we sometimes forget are all up in the bassinet, until they step out with their pretty young male thangs and make us all say daaaayyyyuuuuum.
Shaunie O’Neal
After divorcing one of the biggest ball players in the NBA (and receiving a mighty large divorce settlement as a result), Ms. Shaunie jumped at the chance to snag her a youngin’. And in 2010 she caught one: 23-year old Marlon Yates, a Los Angeles model 12 years her junior. The two have been dating for approximately two years now, although this past summer, scandal arose when sources reported that Shaunie’s super young boo may have a wandering eye.
