Shanna Moakler, a former model and actress, recently made a joke on social media about being “too old” to date reality star Scott Disick, after a fan suggested they should be together.
Moakler, who is 46 years old, responded to a comment on an Instagram post with a laugh and a shrug emoji, saying, “Girl don’t even, I’m too old lol.” The fan had suggested that Moakler and Disick, who is 38 years old, would make a good couple, saying, “You and Scott would make some beautiful babies. He’s a really good guy and he’s got a great sense of humor.”
Moakler’s joke about her age highlights a common double standard in the entertainment industry, where male celebrities are often praised for dating younger women, while women are criticized for doing the same. Disick, for example, has dated several women who are significantly younger than him, including 19-year-old Amelia Hamlin and 22-year-old Sofia Richie.
Moakler has been in the public eye since the 1990s, when she was a model and appeared in several music videos, including Blink-182’s “All the Small Things.” She later became an actress and reality star, appearing on shows like “Meet the Barkers” and “Dancing with the Stars.” She was also married to musician Travis Barker for four years and they have two children together.
Moakler and Disick do not appear to have a romantic history, but their names have been linked in the media due to their connections with Barker. Disick is currently dating Barker’s ex-girlfriend Hamlin, and there have been rumors of tension between the two women.
Moakler’s joke about her age also speaks to a larger cultural conversation about ageism and sexism in Hollywood. While many male actors and celebrities continue to work and date well into their later years, women are often pushed out of the spotlight or relegated to playing stereotypical roles.
Moakler’s joke is a reminder that women of all ages deserve to be valued and respected, both in their personal lives and in the public eye. Despite the pressures and expectations placed on women to conform to certain standards of beauty and youthfulness, Moakler is unapologetically embracing her age and reminding us that age is just a number.
