The actor Paulinho Vilhena is experiencing a phase of fullness alongside his wife, Maria Luiza, with whom she has been for six years and has little Manoela, 2 years. At 46, he states that the 17 -year difference between the two “was never an obstacle” and that the relationship is sustained by partnership, admiration and “a lot of chemistry”.
“It has never bothered me, because women are generally smarter and evolved than men,” He said, by praising his wife, who turned 29. For Paulinho, distinct experiences appear here and there, but do not generate noise: “Some things I know for having lived more, but nothing I can no longer see her brilliant. She’s amazing in what she thinks, the way she leads our relationship and takes care of our family.”

Paternity that came in the right time
Vilhena said she wasn’t sure if she would be a father – until she was ready with the support of Maria Luiza. “This desire was asleep. I was 44 years old, I believed in my love for Luiza and that we would be able to form a family – and came Manoela,” He said, thrilled.
What science says about age difference
A recent study published in the journal Personal Relationships analyzed 35,996 couples in 28 European countries and Israel and noted that, For men, the partner’s favorite age tends to distance themselves a little more as they age (approx. +1 year of difference every 5 years).
Among women, the effect is similar, but subtle: The favorite difference grows about +1 year every 10 years of age, gradually moving from partners slightly older to closer ages-and, at advanced ages, even slightly younger.
Simplified examples of the observed model:
-
Men: 30 years → Partner ~ 26 (4); 50 → ~ 42 (8); 70 → ~ 58 (12).
-
Women: 30 Years → Partner ~ 32.5 (difference of -2.5); 50 → ~ 50.5 (-0.5); 70 → ~ 68.5 (+1.5).
In summary, Average preference is not an individual rule: Each relationship has its rhythm – just as Paulinho and Maria Luiza describe.
