Age-gap relationships, like the one between Nick Viall and Natalie Joy, seem to be all the rage right now. From Babygirl to Vladimir to Bridget Jones 4, women cavorting with much younger men are all over our screens. And now those on-screen age-gap relationships aren’t just fictional. With Age of Attraction, Netflix is treating us to age-gap relationships, reality-TV-style. After all, the streamer has already proven that love can sometimes be blind—can it also be ageless?
Age of Attraction hosts Viall and Joy certainly think so. The IRL married couple who is leading the cast of singles through their age-blind dating experience have a pretty significant age gap—and are trying to prove to the cast and to viewers at home that, sometimes, age is just a number when it comes to love.
Just how big is that age difference? Here’s what we know about Nick Viall and Natalie Joy’s relationship.
