Did you know? All these female celebrities are “WHIPs”

Nope, it’s neither insulting nor demoralising

Did you know? All these female celebrities are "WHIPs"
WHIP what?
image

Every so often, we come across a new word, slang or phrase on the internet. The latest acronym that’s caught our eyes is WHIP, a term coined by The Telegraph writer Bibi Lynch.

Bibi, at 51 years young, dates younger guys. In case you’re wondering, it’s not uncommon. Singers and actresses like Mariah Carey and Demi Moore have done it before.

So, what does WHIP stand for? According to Bibi, it means, “women who are Hot, Intelligent and in their Prime.” Simply put: It’s a group of females who’ve reached their career highs, are comfortable with the way they look, know what they want and are unafraid of any age differences when it comes to their dating and married lives.

Speaking of which, we’ve come up with our own edit of female celebrities who are rightfully WHIPs. For those of you single ladies out there who’ve rejected younger guys because of the age gap, give it a go! After all, someone wise once said: “When you really love someone, age, distance, height, weight…are merely numbers.”

Kai, who shot to fame after his breakout role in the 2011 movie You Are The Apple Of My Eye, dated Mandopop singer Elva and made headlines in 2012.

But things took a sour turn when Kai was seen with another woman. They eventually broke up after the incident in March 2014.

Actress and sex bomb Christy may be a twice-divorced mother but she hasn’t let that affect her search for true love.

Thankfully, she met actor Lunshuo in 2015 on a dating show named Perhaps Love and things got serious afterwards. The duo tied the knot in 2016 in the presence of Christy’s three daughters —  Yasmine Ross, Jaden Yen and Cayla Yen.

After stepping out of their respective marriages, celebrities Faye and Nicholas were reported to have reunited in 2014.

The couple, who used to date previously, have been extremely tight lipped about their relationship. But this hasn’t stopped rumours of Faye turning down Nicholas’s wedding proposals several times.

Dating rumours have been brewing for onscreen couple Joong Ki and Hye Kyo since the release of their Korean drama Descendants of the Sun in 2016.

But the duo kept denying their relationship; just then, a sudden wedding announcement in July 2017 took all fans by surprise. According to their agencies, the Song Song couple will hold their wedding in October this year.

When it comes to relationships, some work, some don’t. Case in point: Korean stars Ji Woo and Jin Wook.

The pair worked on a drama series titled Air City in 2007 and subsequently dated for three years before they parted ways due to the enormous amount of attention placed by the media.

According to DramaFever, Ji Woo confessed on television that she will “never want to go public with [her] relationship again.”
