Paul Walker died on November 30, 2013, at 40 years old, in a car accident in Santa Clarita, California, after leaving a charity event for his foundation. But years after his death, a lesser-known chapter of his life sparked debate again: his relationship with Jasmine Pilchard-Gosnell.
The couple was together for seven years, until the actor’s death. According to various entertainment media outlets, the romance began when Jasmine was just 16 years old and Paul was 33. In California, the age of consent is 18, so had there been a complaint, the actor could have faced up to three years in prison.
At the time, the relationship did not generate much controversy and had the approval of both families. However, in 2018, the documentary I am Paul Walker was released, in which Jasmine is not mentioned at any point, despite having been his partner for seven years and having been present on the day of his death.
Over the years, Jasmine completely withdrew from public life. In 2014, she became engaged to composer Travis Turpin, with whom, according to the latest available information, she still lives in Los Angeles.
More than a decade later, the relationship between Paul Walker and Jasmine remains one of the most discussed and least resolved episodes of his personal life.
