Anthony LaPaglia, 56, left his wife of 17 years for a 26-year-old jumpoff

I still remember learning who Gia Carides was and finding out – with so much pleasure! – that she was married to Anthony LaPaglia. They were married for 17 years and they have one daughter who is 12 years old. Gia was Anthony’s second wife and they were close in age – he is 56 years old and Gia is 51. Well, Anthony left Gia in April. And he stepped out with his new girlfriend in May. The Daily Mail has just gotten around to identifying his new girlfriend… she’s a 26-year-old named Alexandra Henkel.

What is it with this 50-something dudes and their super-young girlfriends? How much of a cliché do these guys need to be? Granted, a 30 year age difference between a 56-year-old and a 26-year-old is not as bad as Steven Bauer (57) and his relationship with an 18 year old. It’s comparable to Anthony Kiedis (52) and his 21-year-old girlfriend though. THIRTY YEAR AGE DIFFERENCE. And for what? Just so you can live the dream as a 50-something dude and have a girlfriend born in 1989?

Here’s a photo of Gia Carides and Anthony LaPaglia from 2014. Ugh, I can’t believe he left her.
