Sisters (and mothers) are doing it for themselves! Having a younger (male) model on your arm is all the rage in Hollywood these days. We look at the cougars leading the way

Courteney Cox

Also known as Courteney Cox Arquette, the 'Arquette' comes courtesy of her marriage to David Arquette, who is seven years her junior.
Eva Longoria

Desperate Housweives star Eva married professional basketball player Tony Parker in 2007. There is a seven-year age gap between the pair.
Demi Moore

Voted as Cougar of the Year by iVillagers, veteran actress Demi raised eyebrows when she started dating former model and US TV actor Ashton Kutcher, who is 16 years younger than her. The pair married in 2005.
Kim Cattrall

Sex and the City temptress Kim was married three times before finally realising she needed a man 20 years younger than her and began a relationship with chef Alan Wyse.
Halle Berry

Multi award-winning actress Halle also had a couple of goes at being married before finally settling on French-Canadian model Gabriel Aubrey.

Very nice too - he's 10 years younger than her.
Julianne Moore

Just the one failed marriage for Julianne, she tried again with director Bart Freundlich, who is 10 years her junior.

They married in 2003 and have two children together.
Ivana Trump

A former Olympic skiier and one-time wife of business magnate Donald Trump, Ivana finally found that happiness is an Italian actor 23 years younger than yourself, as she wed Rossano Rubicondi.
Madonna

No stranger to the big age gap relationship, Madge was involved with Warren Beatty (21 years her senior) in the early nineties.

More recently though, she has turned the tables, marrying Guy Ritchie (10 years younger) before getting together with Brazilian model Jesus Luz, who was only just being born when Madonna was celebrating her 29th birthday.
Mariah Carey

Another who went from one extreme to the other, Mariah's first effort at marriage was to her producer Tommy Mottola, who was 21 years her senior.

She later opted for young and keen rather than old and wise and married actor Nick Cannon, who is a healthy 10 years younger.
Geena Davis

I can see a theme emerging...

Our Geena had three pops at being married, with varying degrees of success, before settling on Iranian-American surgeon Reza Jarrahy. He is 15 years younger.

Demi Moore looks so good for a cougar. I bet a lot of effort and money put into maintaining her physical appearance.

Are you a Cougar with a daughter the same age as the men you date? Does your cougar lifestyle incite envy in your non-cougar friends? Do you hate it when people think women should hang up their dancing shoes and retire quietly after a 'certain age' - rather than dating, dancing and having fun?
