After 50, finding love is never too late: Brad Pitt and Harrison Ford both found romance in their golden years.

Hollywood is known for many celebrities finding love later in life, and "The Golden Bachelorette" is set to prove that it's possible.

Joan Vassos, who was a contestant on "The Golden Bachelor" and left the show during week three due to a family emergency, is this year's bachelorette. Like many Hollywood stars, she has been open about her romances and heartbreaks, finding love later in life.

"Amy Laurent, a professional matchmaker and author of "8 Weeks to Everlasting- How to get (and keep!) the guy you really want," stated to Planet Chronicle Digital that by this age, individuals usually have a clearer understanding of their identity and goals, which can lead to better dating choices. This, in turn, can result in more profound connections and less time spent on relationships that do not align with their desires."

In their 50s, individuals have a clearer understanding of their priorities and are more focused on finding someone who shares their interests rather than settling down or starting a family.

"They seek authentic companionship and emotional connections, valuing profound, significant discussions and joint experiences over shallow interactions."

Having shared interests in health and activity can also be important, as Laurent noted.

"To ensure compatibility, it is essential to comprehend someone's lifestyle and energy levels, as Laurent stated. Numerous individuals seek a partner who shares a commitment to a healthy lifestyle and enjoys engaging in joint activities, such as traveling, exercising, or exploring new hobbies."

When selecting a partner in later life, it is crucial to consider not only the relationship but also a person's financial values and goals, particularly when planning for retirement or managing assets.

"While having similar financial values and net worth may seem alike, it is important to note that they are different. However, in some cases, both may matter to individuals. Nevertheless, respect and equality in a partnership are essential. Many people in their 50s seek relationships where both partners contribute equally and respect each other's individuality and independence."

When it comes to finding love, Alessandra Conti, a celebrity matchmaker from matchmakersinthecity.com, emphasizes the importance of considering location in addition to financial security and shared interests.

In the first season of "The Golden Bachelor," Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist, both in their 70s, got married after the end of their season in January 2024. However, they filed for divorce just three months later in April.

"When it comes to moving forward in a romance, location is just as important as finding the right person, according to Conti. Two people must either be willing to travel from one home base to another or commit to starting anew in a new city that is equidistant from both families. It's crucial to avoid becoming too set in one's ways, as a little inconvenience can bring a lot of joy and love into a life."

Here are a few celebrities who found love after turning 50.

Brad Pitt & Ines de Ramon

In 2024, Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon made their red carpet debut at the Venice Film Festival premiere of "Wolfs," following rumors of their romance that began in November 2022.

Despite their age difference, the 60-year-old actor and 31-year-old jewelry executive have kept their relationship under wraps. However, a source revealed to People in August that the actor is deeply in love with Ines and enjoys spending time with her.

Both Pitt and de Ramon have experienced marriage in the past. Pitt was married to Jennifer Aniston for five years and later to Angelina Jolie for two years, but their relationship lasted over a decade, starting in 2004. On the other hand, de Ramon married Paul Wesley in 2019 and finalized their divorce in 2024 after legally separating in 2022.

John Schneider & Dee Dee Sorvino

Over the summer, John Schneider and Dee Dee Sorvino got married in a surprise wedding ceremony in Las Vegas.

The couple shared a statement from their representative, stating that "Just when we thought our happiest days were forever behind us .... WE HAPPENED."

Both Schneider and Sorvino lost their spouses in the past two years. Schneider lost his wife, Alicia Allain Schneider, in 2023 after a four-year battle with breast cancer, while Sorvino lost her husband, Paul Sorvino, in 2022.

""God sent a widower to a widow and a widow to a widower who understands. Because I was ready to give up everything, I met this one, that crazy dame over there," Schneider said on the "Grace Begins, The Podcast" earlier this year."

Harrison Ford & Calista Flockhart

At the 2002 Golden Globe Awards, Harrison Ford met Calista Flockhart and found his happily-ever-after at the age of 60. The couple got engaged seven years later, with Ford proposing on Valentine's Day in 2009, and were married in June 2010.

Ford has been married three times, while this is Flockhart's first marriage. Ford's first marriage was to Mary Marquardt from 1964 to 1979, and they have two sons, Ben and Willard. He later married Melissa Mathison in 1983 and had two children, Georgia and Malcolm, before divorcing in 2004.

Despite the failure of those marriages, his relationship with Flockhart remains strong, having lasted 22 years.

"My wife has been the driving force behind my success, supporting my passions and dreams, and I am eternally grateful," Ford stated during his speech at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2023. "And let's not forget, I love you too. You've given my life purpose and meaning, and I am forever grateful for your unwavering support."

Paul McCartney & Nancy Shevell

In 2007, when Paul McCartney was 65, he met his wife, Nancy Shevell. The couple made their engagement public on the red carpet at the Met Gala in 2011 and got married in London in October.

"McCartney wrote on his website in January 2023, "As a husband, I strive to be helpful and provide support. When there are difficulties, I like to be the one who lends a helping hand." He added, "Nancy relies on me and I am always happy to be her source of strength during tough times.""

McCartney's third chance at love is his relationship with Shevell. Prior to this, he was married to Linda Eastman from 1969 until her death in 1998, and then to Heather Mills from 2002 until their divorce in 2008.

Barbra Streisand & James Brolin

In 1996, when Barbra Streisand was 54 and James Brolin was 56, they met on a blind date arranged by mutual friends.

They have been married for 26 years since their wedding in July 1998.

"I am incredibly fortunate that this event occurs so late in my life," Brolin stated in his wedding speech. "Each night brings a new adventure. Spending time sleeping is a waste of opportunity. I eagerly anticipate seeing her again in the morning."

Warren Beatty & Annette Bening

In 1990, Annette Bening, 66, and Warren Beatty, 87, first met and quickly hit it off. They got married in 1992, two years after meeting, when Beatty was 55 and Bening was 34.

The couple, who have been together for several years, have welcomed four children: Stephen, 32, Ben, 30, Isabel, 27, and Ella, 24. During a recent interview on "The Drew Barrymore Show," Bening praised Beatty's intelligence and sense of humor, saying, "That was honestly the biggest aphrodisiac."

"When I first met him, I considered the situation professionally and believed there would be no romantic connection between us. However, I later realized that marriage is both a great achievement and a significant challenge to maintain a strong relationship. I am proud of how we have managed to make it work despite the challenges."

Gwen Stefani & Blake Shelton

In 2014, Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton became judges on "The Voice" and started dating in 2015 after both got divorced around the same time.

In July 2021, Stefani and Shelton got married after six years of being together. On "The Drew Barrymore Show" in November 2022, Stefani admitted that she didn't anticipate finding love again following her divorce.

"I was thinking, 'I'll wake up, have coffee, take care of my kids, and then go to bed.' But then Blake Shelton said, 'Hey, I'm Blake Shelton,' and my life wasn't over."

"Having a best friend who shares the same values or perspective on life is the ideal," she stated.

David Foster & Katharine McPhee

David Foster and Katharine McPhee initially crossed paths in 2006 when she was an "American Idol" contestant and he served as a mentor. They reunited nearly a decade later in 2017 and eventually made their public debut as a couple at the Met Gala in May 2018.

In June 2019, after being married for a brief period, Foster, who was 70, and McPhee, who was 35, tied the knot. This marked Foster's fifth attempt at love, as he had previously been married to B.J. Cook, Rebecca Dyer, Linda Thompson, and Yolanda Hadid.

Since getting married, the couple has welcomed one son named Rennie David.
