age gap
Years between people
An age gap is the difference in years between two people, typically in a romantic relationship.
The term often carries connotations of unusual or potentially problematic disparity: There's a fifteen-year age gap between them.
Age-gap relationships may attract scrutiny, especially when one partner is much younger.
The phrase also applies to generational differences more broadly: the age gap between boomers and Gen Z.
