Robin Thicke’s much younger girlfriend, April Geary Love, gets the green light from papa Alan Thicke.
In a recent chat with E! News at the Vacation premiere in Los Angeles, Alan sang Love’s praises saying “She’s lovely.It’s a great time for him. [He has an] album coming out and April is there and supportive.”
Robin, 38, is 18 years older than his 20-year-old model girlfriend, but that certainly doesn’t seem to matter much. “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree,” said Tanya, Alan’s wife. Alan too is many years older than his wife. In fact, Thicke’s father is 28 years older than Tanya, 40. They’ve been married for 10 years.
“I wouldn’t expect anything less,” Tanya added. “I think it’s also very important that she’s also very mature. I think that says a lot. She’s a very mature young lady. A very beautiful, smart, mature young lady.”
Alan chimed in, “We like her a lot.”
The duo reportedly started dating in February. In May, they made their first public appearance at the de Grisogono bash at the Hôtel du Cap during the Cannes Film Festival. The couple was spotted earlier this week enjoying a beach vacation in Maui with Robin’s son, Julian, 5.
Although we were sad to see Robin and Paula Patton split for good in March after 10 years of marriage, we’re happy to see that they have both moved on and are able to co-parent.
Thicke joins a long list of famous men who date much younger women. Deion Sanders, Eddie Murphy, Russell Simmons and many more have been known to like a little young thing.
