Patrick Stewart has been an icon in Hollywood for decades. Over the years, he has starred in some of the most iconic projects of all time, being everything from Captain Jean-Luc Picard to the head of the X-Men. Through his various beloved characters, he has become embedded in the very fabric of the film industry, with his professional life being the inspiration of many who want to follow in his footsteps.
While his career has always been something to marvel at, his personal life brings about a certain kind of controversy. The actor and his wife have been married for over ten years. However, it is difficult to ignore the age gap between them.
Patrick Stewart and Sunny Ozell’s Age Gap
Sunny Ozell and Patrick Stewart tied the knot in 2013, having stayed close and strong since then. However, many fans have brought up the huge age gap between the two stars. Where the singer-songwriter is 45 years old, the actor is almost double her age, having recently turned 84 years old. This makes the gap in their ages 39 years.
What makes their dynamic all the more odd is that she is younger than both of Stewart’s children. Adding to the awkwardness, Stewart is also older than Ozell’s father. During an interview with the Scottish Mail, the actor revealed that initially, her father wasn’t all too happy with her choice of a partner.
He rings me up and says, ‘Hey son, it’s your father here,’
However, over the years, he seems to have warmed up to the actor. Stewart even recalled how they had begun to joke about the age gap.
Sunny Ozell Does Not Mind The Gap
During the same issue, Sunny Ozell talked about her relationship with Patrick Stewart and how she does not mind the huge difference they have in their ages. The singer-songwriter mentioned that they share a very unique dynamic where her husband is the intellectually younger one, and she is a lot older in her thinking.
He is so youthful and I guess I’m kind of an old worry wart so we bridge the gap,
Such a relationship seems to help them be their best selves without worrying about the differences in their thinking and generations. The actress then talked about the health factor of it all.
It doesn’t come up much. He’s in better shape than me, which infuriates me.
It would seem that despite his age, Stewart is healthier and in better shape compared to Ozell. This fact made her joke that such a difference infuriates her quite a lot. Considering how long the pair have been together and how much they have mentioned that they do not mind the age gap between them, fans can only be glad that they are happy.
