usmagazine.com:

In it for the long haul! Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Jason Statham have been together for more than a decade, quietly building their family together.The romance started across the pond when the model and action star, both England natives, met at a London party in 2009, and they took their romance public two years later.Their 20-year age difference might raise some eyebrows.

Statham was born in July 1967 while the Mad Max: Fury Road actress entered the world in April 1987. However, Huntington-Whiteley told Instagram followers during an April 2020 Q&A that she wasn’t bothered by the gap. “Age is nothing but a number!” she wrote at the time.In 2015, Huntington-Whiteley admitted that her romance with the Italian Job actor was better than every prior relationship she’d experienced.“We’re best mates,” the Transformers: Dark of the Moon star told Self magazine at the time. “He makes me laugh every day.

I almost feel like I never had a proper boyfriend before!”She added that marriage wasn’t the top priority for her or Statham. “For any couple that’s been together for a certain amount of time, there’s a massive amount of pressure to get married,” she noted. “I totally believe in marriage, but being in a happy relationship is much more important to me … [Kids are] something that’s more realistic in the near future.”That didn’t stop the Fast & Furious franchise star from getting down on one knee and proposing.

The couple announced their engagement at the 2016 Golden Globes — but they haven’t tied the knot yet.Just as the Rose Inc. founder predicted, babies came before marriage.
