Dane Cook's Engagement to 23-Year-Old Prompts Spicy Jokes and Serious Questions

It's pretty hard to top the excitement and romance of J. Lo and Ben Affleck's Las Vegas nuptials, but that's not stopping famous people from getting engaged or married. The latest couple to announce their life-long commitment is Dane Cook and his girlfriend of 5 years, 23-year-old Kelsi Taylor. Yes, you read that right. Dane Cook is 50 years old and has been dating a 23-year-old for five years.

Cook is the subject of a lot of contempt on and off the internet - mostly due to accusations of the raunchy comic stealing jokes. But some of us just think he's corny and his face is annoying. This less-than-stellar reputation (and annoying face) is probably why people wasted no time zeroing in on him for the couple's dramatic age difference. Page Six tweeted the news with the caption "Dane Cook, 50, engaged to longtime love Kelsi Taylor, 23," and the rest was history.

That title makes it pretty hard to ignore their age difference. Page Six knew what they were doing. They knew they would unleash an army of Twitter trolls on the couple.
While some users are calling the publication out for the tweet's baity wording, most users are focused on the engaged couple's 27-year age difference and the fact that Kelsi Taylor was just 17 when they started dating.
Since everyone's new favorite word is “grooming,” a lot of people suggested that Dane Cook had endeared himself to Kelsi long before they started dating on her 18th birthday.
Grooming is a serious subject, but as we all know, nothing is sacred to Twitter trolls. And you know what? We're kind of glad. These jokes are actually pretty good.
One of the more savage tweets compares Cook to certified groomer and comedian Chris D'Elia, who was accused of grooming in June 2020.
Jokes aside, we hope that Kelsi is okay and in control. Lord knows I made some bad decisions at 23.
