Weirdest age gaps

What are the weirdest age differences in your family and friends? For example, between couples, uncle-aunt/nephew-niece, cousins, etc
When my ex-best mate was around 20 she got into a relationship with a guy in his mid-fifties. He had an adult son older than her, and grandkids.

They were serious for about 10 years. Wedding was planned, and he even reversed his vasectomy.

Then about a month before the wedding she got cold feet and ditched him.

My family tree includes centuries of teenagers younger than 18 who married much older men.
Some of their own choosing without parental involvement, others in arranged marriages to wealthy widowers or relatives.
The oldest age gap occurred with an 18th century ancestor whose final spouse was 51 years younger than him.
