Elle Fanning, 24, doesn't mind age-gap with beau Max Minghella, 37

Elle Fanning and Max Minghella are going stronger than ever.

Speaking to Us Weekly, a source revealed that the pair is “in a better place than ever” since they started dating in 2018.

They noted the reason for the pair’s scarce sightings together, saying that they are “very private people,” who have been “serious for a good while.”

“The [coronavirus] pandemic played a part in that, of course,” the insider told the outlet.

“They don’t tend to pop up at the more regular places you’d expect a high profile couple” because they’re often busy traveling or working,” they added.

The couple, who worked together in the 2018 film, Teen Spirit, have previously sparked criticism for their 12-year age difference.

However, the source revealed that it doesn’t bother the couple “at all.”

“Elle loves how mature and intelligent Max is. He’s a real intellect with a big passion for arts and culture,” they shared. “They’re super solid.”

“Nobody would be surprised if Max proposes soon,” the insider said. “Elle would most likely love that too, but he’s keeping those cards close to his chest.”
