Anna Camp responded directly to online chatter surrounding the 18-year age gap between her and girlfriend Jade Whipkey, after the couple stepped onto the red carpet together last week for the premiere of “Bride Hard.”

The “Pitch Perfect” star left a comment on a PinkNews Instagram post that pointed out the age difference, stating, “Thought I’d jump on here since I follow @pinknews and just say I’ve dated men exactly my age and Jade is FAR more mature than any of them. We have more in common than anyone else I’ve ever dated and can literally talk about anything and everything ♥️ Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I’m wishing everyone well 🙂 Especially this Pride month 🌈.”

Camp, 42, and Whipkey made their public debut on June 18, with Camp in a blue sleeveless gown and Whipkey in a pale gray suit paired with sneakers and a white T-shirt. Camp later shared snapshots from the night on Instagram, including photos of the two together and with her “Bride Hard” co-star Rebel Wilson.

In the caption, Camp wrote, “Thankyou @rebelwilson for being my bride or die and to my girlfriend @jadewhipkey for being my date and for making me glow,” along with three heart emojis. Whipkey replied, “You crushed it honey, congrats🔥 I’m so lucky to be by your side.”

Speculation about their relationship began earlier this year after the two appeared in a TikTok interview where they spoke about bad dates. Camp called Whipkey “babe” and, when asked what she expects from a man on a date, answered, “Well, I don’t expect anything. Not anymore, because I like women, and it’s great.”

Since then, Whipkey has shown up on Camp’s Instagram and recently posted her own photos of the two of them from a Palm Springs Life magazine event. “You are the easiest person to celebrate and the sweetest to love ❤️ See you on the cover of @voguemagazine next,” she captioned the post.
