toy boy

Older woman's beau

A toy boy is a young man in a romantic or sexual relationship with an older woman—the male counterpart to a trophy wife, though with more emphasis on youth and physical appeal than status.

The term is mildly disparaging, suggesting the young man is kept for pleasure rather than substance: She showed up at the gala with her latest toy boy.
