51 Year-Old “Lost Actor” Doug Hutchison Marries a 16-year-old Girl

51-year-old “Lost” actor Doug Hutchison believes that “true love can be ageless.” The actor has made a controversy as he decided to marry a very young aspiring country singer Courtney Alexis Stodden who is only 16 years old. The couple got married on May 20 in Las Vegas

Although their age difference is a big public controversy, the couple insisted that they have no problem with that. "We're aware that our vast age difference is extremely controversial," the couple said through a spokeswoman as quoted on E! Online. "But we're very much in love and want to get the message out there that true love can be ageless."

According to the Clark County, Nevada Marriage Bureau, marriage license applicants for both parties must be at least 18 years of age. Consent of a parent or legal guardian is needed to be able to obtain a license to those who are below the age of 18. In this case, Stodden’s parents have to approve of their daughter's May-December marriage.

Hutchison’s adolescent wife is a former beauty pageant queen who took part in the Miss Teen Washington USA in 2010. She slammed the suggestion saying that marrying a much older D-list actor is one way to achieve fame by insisting that she and her husband are so in love with each other.
