Vivian Benitez has spoken out about the comments people make regarding the big age gap between her and her husband, actor Rufus Sewell.
The pair tied the knot on July 17, 2024, at Manorbier Castle in Wales, following their engagement by the end of 2023.
Benitez, who is 29 years younger than her husband, says their relationship is based on equality and they both share a strong bond.
The Arsenal star stated that she is not dependent on Sewell and that they both put in the similar effort for their relationship.
The 28-year-old stated, “We both contribute equally.”

Moreover, Benitez shared that Sewell is not just her husband, but her best friend. The couple have now become each other's support, and have built a happy life together.
