Many famous women have had multiple partners throughout their lives and found true happiness only after 40. However, women over this age are believed to have only a 40% chance of getting married.
After all, women over 40 look at men differently and know for sure what they want from a relationship, looking at their partner with sober eyes and not rose-colored glasses. We learned which famous women met the love of their lives at a mature age.
Heidi Klum
Heidi Klum met the guitar player of Tokio Hotel, Tom Kaulitz, in Germany. Their relationship became public after fans noticed Klum and Kaulitz kissing while filming a TV show.
Tom proposed to Heidi on Christmas Eve 2018, and in February of the following year, they secretly tied the knot. The model was 45 years old at the time.
Heidi Klum is happy that she was finally able to find a soulmate as romantic as she is. “It’s the first time I feel like I really have a partner to do everything,” Klum confessed.
