Pitch Perfect Star Anna Camp Defends 18-Year Age Gap With Girlfriend

Actress Anna Camp has publicly defended the 18-year age gap between herself and her girlfriend, Jade Whipkey, following criticism from some observers. The couple, who made their red carpet debut at the Los Angeles premiere of Camp's movie Bride Hard, have been praised by Camp for their strong compatibility and Whipkey's maturity, which Camp says surpasses that of men she has dated. Camp emphasized that they share a deep connection and can discuss anything openly, and she wished well to those with differing opinions, especially during Pride Month. The relationship was confirmed in May, with Whipkey sharing affectionate messages about Camp on social media. Camp, who came out as queer in February, has previously been married to Pitch Perfect co-star Skylar Astin and has spoken about her personal evolution and happiness in embracing her identity. Despite some ongoing criticism, many fans and supporters have expressed approval of the couple's relationship and the emphasis on maturity over age.
