They met in 2004 on the set of The Chronicles of Narnia. She was the White Witch; he, Sandro Kopp, was an artist working as an illustrator on the film.

Tilda Swinton was already the mother of twins, Honor and Xavier, with artist and playwright John Byrne. Although they had separated as a couple, they continued raising them together. And then came a romance with a man around 18 years younger.

Decades passed, and their story endured, away from the limelight. Kopp, born in Germany and dedicated to painting, has his own career, just like her. In 2022, in an interview with The Guardian, the actress confirmed that he was still her partner.

In the photos, she went from 48 to 65, and he from 31 to 48. Some believe an age difference like that matters. Others think what counts is respect and compatibility. Which side are you on?
