| December–December Romance | comment |
Romantic love that arises between two elderly or senior characters. May be depicted tragically in works where mortality or mental illness is a theme, but it can also be used optimistically, as proof that love and dating have no age limits. Compare May–December Romance and Grow Old with Me. It often overlaps with New Old Flame, if the two characters were lovers earlier in life but got separated for some reason. It is the opposite of Puppy Love, in which two unusually young characters have a romance — although in the New Old Flame case, the same pair of characters may have been both. It can also serve as a case of Second Love. It's definitely a case of Truth in Television, as many people do remarry or have long-term relationships that begin very late in life. |

DC Comics: Green Lantern Alan Scott and Molly Mayne, AKA Harlequin, one of his rogues from back in the day. They got back in touch and eventually married in Infinity, Inc.. There was some friction in the marriage, though, as the lantern kept Scott physically young while Mayne aged naturally. In despair, she made a Deal with the Devil in the crossover Underworld Unleashed, prompting a horrified Scott to enter Hell to rescue his wife's soul. Later, however, Scott was aged to his actual chronological age. Kingdom Come is set in an alternate future and briefly shows that Catwoman and the Riddler got together at some point, which is the only reason Lex allows the latter to join the Mankind Liberation Front. |

Grandpa has had these a couple of times on The Simpsons. In one case, Marge tried to hook him up with her widowed mother (then Mr. Burns came along). In another, he dated a woman who lived in the same old folks home who died and left him a large sum of money. Yet another time he dates a cool, rebellious resident of the old folks home who's really just dating him because he's one of the few seniors who can kind-of-sort-of drive. He's currently married to Rita La Fleur, who's roughly the same age as him. | |

In Ōoku: The Inner Chambers, Tsunayoshi and Emonnosuke knew each other for years, and it's implied from the start that they were smitten with each other, but what with Emonnosuke being too old to be a concubine, and later Tsunayoshi's need to conceive a new heir after the death of her daughter, they were unable to confess their love to each other until their older years, certainly after Tsunayoshi hit menopause. The day after they have sex for the first time, Emonnosuke dies from an aneurysm. | |

Naruto: Tragically subverted with Jiraiya and Tsunade. Jiraiya spent most of his life as the Unlucky Childhood Friend but after a lot of interpersonal drama and Tsunade managing to reconcile with him and her old idealism thanks to Naruto, it looks like she might have been willing to give him a chance now that both of them were in their fifties. Unfortunately, Jiraiya heads off to the Hidden Rain Village to gather intel on the leader of the Akatsuki and ends up fighting and dying to Pain, right after he made a bet with Tsunade to bet against him since she almost always loses to assure her. Jiraiya dies noting his inability to win Tsunade's heart as just one of his many failures, and Tsunade is left heart-broken at realizing one of the only dear friends she had left is now dead. | |

Ivan Simanov and Victoria in Red (2010). They're well into their sixties and clearly enamoured of each other, which qualifies them. Played with because they were originally lovers as young adults before their jobs — and the fact that they were on opposite sides of the Cold War! — separated them. December/December rekindling, perhaps? | |

Debra is upset, although Ray points out that if her mom is happy, she should be happy. Everyone is expecting a May–December Romance, only for the woman to actually be older than him (the age is never stated, but Debra's father looked to be in his 60s and his new wife looked to be in her 80s). | |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: While never shown onscreen, it is implied that such is the case between Kanna and Pakku, who do marry. They were in an Arranged Marriage when younger, but Kanna ran away from the Northern Water Tribe since she didn't want to be burdened by their traditions. Pakku was so hurt that he grew into an embittered Straw Misogynist until he met Plucky Girl Katara — Kanna's granddaughter. So it's a mix of this and New Old Flame, strictly speaking. | |

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine has Zek and Ishka, i.e. the romance between the leader of the entire Ferengi Alliance and Quark's mother. Quark didn't take it very well, not least because the Ferengi government had forced him into exile a while back and Zek didn't seem to think this was any sort of barrier to pursuing a relationship with his mother. It didn't seem to deter Ishka very much either, but then Quark always was The Un-Favourite... | |

In Full Moon, this becomes the case for Fuzuki and Seijurou. The two met in their teen years and loved each other, but because Fuzuki's best friend was also in love with Seijurou, mistakenly thought the two had betrayed her and said friend (Moe Rikyou, aka Meroko) committed suicide, Fuzuki was too heart-broken and guilt-ridden to pursue a relationship with Seijurou after all. It's not until decades later that Seijurou sees Fuzuki again and the two are seen holding hands in the final chapter. | |

This Is Us has a flashback episode showing Dr. K (the elderly doctor who delivered two of Rebecca and Jack’s children) still mourning his late wife who died a year earlier and is reluctant to move on. After delivering the Pearson’s children and giving Jack some life advice, he himself is inspired to try to live life again and reaches out to his (also elderly) female neighbor Anne to take up her offer to make him dinner one night which he earlier brushed off. Eighteen years later he and Anne reappear at Jack’s funeral where he introduces Anne as his wife. | |

Over the course of their subplot, they slowly but surely form one of these, starting with Belligerent Sexual Tension (mostly on Vera's side), then become Friends with Benefits and finally truly beginning their romance with a Big Damn Kiss. | |

Safehold: Two of Sharleyan's biggest allies during her reign as Queen of Chisholm and, later, Empress of Charis, were her mother Queen Mother Alahnah and her First Councilor and the Baron of Green Mountain, Mahrak Sahndyrs, who had served Sharleyan's father before her. Midway through the series, Green Mountain is grievously injured following a terrorist attack by the Inquisition's Rakurai agents. His injuries forced him to step down from his role as First Councilor and, in his retirement and rehabilitation, he and Alahnah become a couple, much to Sharleyan's delight. | |

An episode of Sailor Moon Super S features a snippy but secretly kind old woman named Mayako, who strikes an Intergenerational Friendship with Chibiusa and Mamoru. It turns out that the reason why she's so bitter is that she lost her old boyfriend twenty years ago, which made her a borderline Broken Bird. Said boyfriend, a famous Supreme Chef Ichiro Ohno (whom Makoto is a huge fan of), returns into her life towards the end of the episode (after Mayako is saved from Hawk Eye by the Senshi) and apologies to her for the hurt he caused her, and they get together again and open a restaurant — like they had sworn to do many years ago. | |

Present in the Britcom As Time Goes By. Young lovers, a soldier and a nurse, lose contact when he's shipped off to the Korean War. They're reunited in their golden years. Counts as both a case of this trope and Grow Old with Me. Another example from the same show is Lionel's father Rocky and his lover Madge, who get married in their eighties. |

Zuko and Katara getting together during the time of The Legend of Korra fics (when they’re in their late eighties/early nineties) are very popular. Katara has been widowed for seventeen years by the time of the show but what makes this Fanfic Fuel is that Zuko’s marital status has never been confirmed one way or the other. He has a daughter and two grandkids, implying he’s been married at one point, but it’s unclear to whom he is/was married or if he’s widowed as well. | |

Happened with a couple of guest characters (both widowed) on Good Times. It was mentioned that as a married couple they could get more from social security than if they were single. | |

In Robot and Frank there is clearly a spark between retired jewel thief Frank and Jennifer the librarian, played by Frank Langella and Susan Sarandon. She is his ex-wife, but his memory loss is so bad that he no longer remembers her. | |

The titular character of Mary Worth is in one of these with another resident of her condo complex. It's not the only example of this trope in the strip: a more recent storyline had an elderly neighbour who was facing moving into a retirement home fall in love and marry a man living at the home, as well. | |

1632: Schoolteacher Melissa Mailey and Dr. James Nichols. Both are in their late fifties at the time of the Ring of Fire, and they're both pleasantly surprised to find that they haven't... lost the capacity for enjoying each other. Which they do. On a regular basis. It's a mark of Melissa's Character Development that she throws propriety to the winds and starts openly living in sin with him. Mayor Henry Dreeson and Veronica Richter, grandmother of Gretchen and Hans. |

Julian Fellowes is particularly fond of this trope in Downton Abbey. The fifty-something Carson, the butler, and the fifty-year-old Mrs Hughes, the housekeeper, were supposed to be Married to the Job and Platonic Life-Partners, but soon became a Fan-Preferred Couple. The Word of God was aware of it and although he used to say that they wouldn't get together, liked teasing the fans, by some Green-Eyed Monster from Carson's side and some Ship Tease from both sides. However, after 5 seasons, 12 years on screen, they get a Relationship Upgrade at the end of the 5th season. Unfortunately, after their wedding, it almost receives the Shipping Bed Death trope from Carson's nasty behaviour towards his new wife and poor plotlines. Dr. Richard Clarkson and Mrs. Isobel Crawley were a Fan-Preferred Couple after his almost-proposal. When Lord Merton, another Silver Fox, takes an interest in Mrs. Crawley, it becomes a Love Triangle. It's hinted in the 5th and 6th seasons that there is some Green-Eyed-Monster on Dr. Clarkson's side. In the end, Mrs. Crawley chooses Lord Merton. The Dowager Countess had an affair with the Russian Prince Kuragin, while they were both married. In the 5th season, he appears as the possibility of New Old Flame. |
