TR Knight Is Dating A 19 Years Old Guy

Gay GREY’S ANATOMY star T.R. KNIGHT has defended his decision to date a man 16 years his junior - insisting they "love each other".

Knight, 35, has been involved with 19-year-old Mark Cornelson since February (08) and the age gap has put their romance under intense scrutiny.

But the actor is convinced that although some people might take a negative view - it doesn’t matter because their relationship is so special.

He tells People.com, "It’s bound to raise some eyebrows but we love each other. (He is) an amazing guy. I love being around him. I love what we have." Knight admits that although it is too soon to think about a wedding, he definitely thinks his relationship with Cornell will last.

He adds, "We’ve only known each other for six months, so I think it’s a little soon to consider marriage. I don’t think you date anyone that you don’t see a future with."

I say, you go girl!!!!!
