Published: Jun 23 2025

Anna Camp isn't allowing detractors to sow discord between her and Jade Whipkey. Mere days after the "Pitch Perfect" actress publicly unveiled her romance with the on-set stylist at the Los Angeles premiere of "Bride Hard," the 42-year-old elegantly addressed the Critics' buzz surrounding their 18-year age disparity in the comments section of an Instagram post dated June 20th, which spotlighted their generational gap.

"I've been in relationships with men my own age, yet Jade possesses a maturity far surpassing that of any of them," Anna penned. "Our connection runs deeper than any previous partnership, enabling us to engage in conversations spanning every conceivable topic."

She gracefully added, "Everyone has a right to their perspective, and I sincerely wish all well, particularly during this month celebrating pride."

Anna's heartfelt remarks about her bond with the 24-year-old Jade came approximately a month after the couple officially acknowledged their blossoming romance in May.

"Her smile, a poem in motion," Jade penned in a tender message on her Instagram Stories on May 13th, which Anna later reposted. "Her eyes, roses in bloom; her laughter, a melody that incites dance."

Earlier that same month, Anna, who finalized her divorce from "Pitch Perfect" co-star Skylar Astin in 2019 after a marriage spanning less than two years, offered her followers a peek into a romantic dinner shared over wine, captioning it simply, "Date night."

Since her divorce, the "Bride Hard" actress has been open about the significant "transformation" she underwent in her personal life.

"It's been a blend of terrifying and liberating," Anna elaborated during a Television Critics Association Summer Press Tour panel in 2019. "Life's twists and turns have made me feel more authentic than ever. Vulnerability aside, it's also empowering. I've never felt more grounded, confident that my decisions are for the best. It feels good."

Reflecting on the lessons gleaned from navigating through turbulent times, the "True Blood" actress sought the bright side.

"I've realized that even amidst life's changes, one can remain positive, kind, and friendly," she continued. "I've also discovered that, confronted by challenges, I can rise above them, emerging stronger and better for it."
