In a heartwarming display of affection, a beloved Hollywood couple, known for their 18-year age difference, appeared deeply in love during a casual stroll.

Their romance began when he was just 21 and she was 39, yet this age gap didn’t deter them from tying the knot in 1980.

The pair first crossed paths while performing in the play “The Elephant Man” and later shared the screen in an episode of the 1980s television series “Hotel.”

She is celebrated for her roles in films such as “The Rare Breed” and “Avanti!,” while he gained recognition starring alongside Michelle Pfeiffer in the 1982 movie “Grease 2” and played the character Miles in “Dynasty.”

After 45 years of marriage, their bond remains strong, as evidenced by their tender hand-holding during a walk through a scenic area of Los Angeles on November 23.

Can you guess who these lovebirds are?

If you guessed Maxwell Caulfield and Juliet Mills, you were correct!

The couple were spotted last weekend, holding hands during a quiet stroll in a neighborhood.

And they seemed keen on remembering the moment, as Caulfield brought a fancy camera for the occasion.

Caulfield was clad in a purple turtleneck, black jeans, and blue sweater, while his lady love opted for violet leggings, a blue sweater, and Patagonia vest.

Hand in hand and with a relaxed air to them, the duo were the epitome of couples goals. 

The lovebirds had an instant attraction after meeting as co-stars on a US tour of the award-winning play The Elephant Man.

‘We were instant friends, immediately attracted,’ she told Weekend Magazine in 2019.

‘I believe in reincarnation and I believe I’d known Maxwell in another life. It was like saying, “Oh hello, there you are,”‘ she said.

‘It was a full-blown romance,’ Caulfield added.

The couple have been married for 45 years but sparks were still flying during their relaxed walk

Mills said: ‘Maxwell is very romantic, very protective and my best friend.

‘He planned our wedding too. It was the most romantic ever – at sunrise on a clifftop overlooking the Pacific.’

The couple exchanged vows at Point Dume in Malibu, followed by a small reception at the Beverly Hills home belonging to Mills’s parents.

It was Caulfield’s first time walking down the aisle but the third for Mills, who has son Sean Caulfield with ex-husband Russell Alquist, Jr. and daughter Melissa Caulfield with ex-husband Michael Miklenda. 

While Caulfield is now stepfather to Sean and Melissa, he doesn’t share any children with Mills.

Despite her being nearly two decades older than him, Caulfield said she is the one keeping him young. 

Speaking on Loose Women last year, he said: ‘Funnily enough, she’s the one who keeps me young.

‘It’s like a reverse process going on, it’s kind of spooky. It’s like “Slow down, will you?”

‘I don’t mean in the age department, either!’

The couple’s acting careers are also still going strong, with Mills recently having a role in Grey’s Anatomy and Caulfield appearing in The Bay and an episode of Landman.
