T.R. KNIGHT DEFENDS AGE GAP RELATIONSHIP
Gay GREY'S ANATOMY star T.R. KNIGHT has defended his decision to date a man 16 years his junior - insisting they "love each other".
Knight, 35, has been involved with 19-year-old Mark Cornelson since February (08) and the age gap has put their romance under intense scrutiny.
But the actor is convinced that although some people might take a negative view - it doesn't matter because their relationship is so special.
He tells People.com, "It's bound to raise some eyebrows but we love each other. (He is) an amazing guy. I love being around him. I love what we have."
Knight admits that although it is too soon to think about a wedding, he definitely thinks his relationship with Cornell will last.
He adds, "We've only known each other for six months, so I think it's a little soon to consider marriage. I don't think you date anyone that you don't see a future with."

I’m 50 and my husband is 65. We’ve been married 21 years. I just found this on Wikipedia
(and you know if it’s there it must be true!).
The “half-your-age (older person)-plus-seven rule” is one guideline defining a mathematical
formula to judge whether the age difference in an intimate relationship is socially
acceptable.
TR and his sweetie pass. No judgments from me on this end - I’m in a glass house.
But, I am fancinated by the phenom and find the rule interesting too.
