New Couple Alert! Lucy Hale, 31, was photographed packing on some major PDA with “Riverdale” star Skeet Ulrich, 51. The pics quickly went viral and the actress is currently trending on Twitter as strangers express their opinions on the 20 year age gap. The “Scream” star and the former “Pretty Little Liars” actress, was enjoying a lunch date at the Sweet Butter Cafe in Los Angeles on Sunday at their table labeled “Pecan.” The good looking actors were seen holding each other’s hands and smooching. They were also photographed going for a walk wearing face masks. The new couple definitely wasn’t social distancing as they held each other in a sweet embrace.

Hale was previously linked to former “Bachelor” star Colton Underwood but it ended quickly. As for Ulrich, he went public with model Megan Blake Irwin in May 2020 and received backlash on social media for their more than the 20-year age difference. He’s been married twice and shares twins from his first marriage with English actress Georgina Cates. Whenever celebrities have a big age gap there is always some kind of discussion. Scott Disick and Sofia Richie then Amelia Hamlin for example. However unlike Richie or Hamlin who had just turned 19, Hale is a 31-year-old woman. The actress’s fans are defending her hard on Twitter. One tweeted, “My rule is that If both people are over 30 then it’s none of my business.” And many are saying she is “living their dream.” Check out some of the best reactions on Twitter:
