Kate Beckinsale and her Women Health June 2020 story
The June 2020 issue of Women’s Health is out. And Kate Beckinsale spoke about her relationship with younger men.
She defended her relationships and also talked about the double standards of the people. Kate is astonished at the criticism of her for dating men younger than her.
She backlashed:
“If everyone’s s—ing on you, it can make you feel kind of ugh for a minute – especially if there’s really nothing wrong. If you’re strangling a squirrel or hurting someone, I get it, but living one’s life in a reasonably respectful manner shouldn’t invite anyone to get too excited.”
She revealed that it is not only for her but these criticisms come from every woman her age who is in love with younger boyfriends.
She added:
“It can feel like a little bit of a political act to be a woman over 32 who’s having any fun at all,”
