Celebrity Women Who Love Dating Older Men
Padma Lakshmi
Cookbook author and television host Padma Lakshmi was born in India but shuttled between her grandparents in her homeland and her mother in New York. At the age of 30, she married famous novelist Salman Rushdie, a man 23 years her senior. Although he dedicated a novel to her and even based one of the central characters after her, the couple divorced three years later. Eventually she was able to find love again with financier Theodore Fortsmann. They remained together until he passed away from brain cancer in 2011 at the age of 71; she’s now rumored to be dating Richard Gere.
