Dane Cook addresses 27-year age gap with 19-year-old girlfriend

Dane Cook doesn’t care about the 27-year age gap between him and his girlfriend — and doesn’t think anyone else should either.

Cook, 46, has been dating Kelsi Taylor, 19, for a little more than a year after meeting at a game night at his house, he revealed in an Instagram Q&A. The comedian said that their large age gap doesn’t affect their relationship.

“What advice do you have to those in age gap relationships?” one fan asked.

Cook replied, “The only thing you have to do is plan that your deaths will be somewhat far apart.”

Although some parents of a 19-year-old might raise eyebrows at such a relationship, Cook said neither family is upset about the pairing.

“I love her family and we are pretty close and do dinner and hang,” Cook explained. “My family pretty much all died years ago but @courtneycook my sister like Kelsi a lot.”

Cook has dated other younger women. Check out his relationship history below:
