Who says spring chickens make the most beautiful brides? These gorgeous celebs have proven that true love finds us in all phases in life, into our 40s and beyond.
Dating:
Gigi Levangie Grazer: After her 17-year marriage ended, the author of Queen Takes King found herself back in the dating pool. She divulged to Bazaar why dating these days is a bit like politics - in order to succeed, you've got to play by the (unwritten) rules.
- "I learned to play games the way boys do. When I was hurt, I learned not to call, text, instant message, or e-mail. Instead, I waited like a 'snake in the grass.'"
- "I became a zen master of the koan 'He who cares least wins.' One night, I sat next to a 19-year-old boy at an elegant Hollywood dinner party. We compared dating notes. He was jealous that I had the best excuse of all for avoiding emotional involvement: "I'm still married." He wished he could use that line."
Marriage:
