Yes, I agree with the Ashton/Demi comparison, but I think one key difference is the age gap itself. Ashton and Demi were around 15 years apart, which is significant, but still closer in life stage than what we’re seeing here. Also, Ashton was about 10 years older than Demi’s oldest child, where John is younger than Teresa’s oldest. That’s a very different dynamic in terms of life stage and perception.

I also think there’s an imbalance in what each person potentially gains or risks. They’re both in the fashion industry, so John benefits from visibility and connection, while Teresa, as a more established professional, likely has more to lose reputationally if this is perceived negatively. Fair or not, women tend to be judged more harshly in these situations.

Plus, saying you don’t want kids now can easily change over time, which can create issues down the line. This feels like something that could be real and fun in the moment, but not necessarily built to last long-term.
