Dane Cook laughs off 26-year age gap between him, fiancée Kelsi Taylor
Age is just a number … and a really funny joke to Dane Cook.
The comedian, 50, noted he and his fiancée, Kelsi Taylor, 23, are comfortable enough in their relationship that they actually make fun of their 26-year age gap.
“We have a bit of an age difference, so it’s in the show, it’s in the show,” he told E! News on Wednesday, explaining that he has added a few jokes on their behalf to his new stand-up comedy special, “Dane Cook: Above It All.”
“If we can’t laugh at it, then nobody else is allowed.”
He further revealed that Taylor “saw everything” he was working on for his show — which is out Wednesday on Moment — and urged him to keep the jokes that poked “some fun” at their expense.
In fact, she may have even inspired a few more jokes as he explained, “I was just trying some material out on her the other day where I was like, ‘Hey, I think I have maybe my first what it’s like to be married joke. So, she got the exclusive. We tried it out and she said, ‘I approve of that. That’s a good one.'”
Back in July, Cook revealed he asked Taylor to marry him after five years together.
“I was so ready to ask her. I was completely zen about it,” Cook told People in August. “The evening of the proposal was incredibly beautiful, the weather was perfect, sunset was spectacular, and I was just quite simply very happy.”
He added, “I was asking my best friend, the woman who I’ve shared some of the greatest times of my life with, to marry me so we can start the next chapter our of lives together. I was also thinking of how absolutely stunning she looked.”
