cradle snatcher
Dates much younger
A cradle snatcher is someone who dates or marries a much younger person—young enough that the age gap raises eyebrows.
The term is mildly disapproving but often used humorously: She's twenty years younger than him—what a cradle snatcher.
The British variant is cradle robber.
