82-Year-Old Juliet Mills Married to ‘Grease’ Heartthrob 18 Years Younger — Here’s How They Make It Work

Juliet Mills, now 82, has found love with her husband, Maxwell Caulfield, who is 18 years younger. Despite facing criticism for their age gap, the couple remains strong and happy together. Recently, Caulfield shared how his wife makes him feel, showing the deep bond they share.

Juliet’s career began early, with small roles in films like Nurse on Wheels (1963) and Carry on Jack (1964). However, her big break came in 1966 when she starred in The Rare Breed alongside James Stewart and Maureen O’Hara.

In 1970, she landed her first leading role in the TV show Nanny and the Professor. Although the show only lasted two seasons, Juliet fondly remembers it. “I’m still recognized for it,” she says, adding that the show brought joy to many viewers.

Juliet Mills and Maxwell Caulfield met through acting. Caulfield, an up-and-coming actor, made his debut in Grease 2, and the two later performed together in The Elephant Man on tour. Juliet describes their first meeting as love at first sight, saying they felt an instant connection. Caulfield agreed, calling their relationship “instantaneous” and noting their deep connection. Their first date was at a Broadway show with their friend, Natalie Wood.

Juliet and Maxwell married in 1980 when she was 38, and he was just 21. Many people doubted their marriage would last, but they proved everyone wrong. Juliet explained that in California, their age gap wasn’t a big deal, and even her father supported their relationship, saying it didn’t matter if someone was young or old as long as they found a soulmate.

Their wedding was special. Maxwell took charge, planning a beautiful sunrise ceremony on a Malibu cliff with an intimate reception at Juliet’s Beverly Hills home. He decorated the house with fairy lights and even had two doves released at the ceremony. “She brings out the romantic in me,” Caulfield said about his wife.

Despite their critics, the couple’s love has stood the test of time. Caulfield often expresses how Juliet keeps him young. In 2017, he posted a joyful picture of the couple, and fans couldn’t stop praising their love.

Juliet and Maxwell’s relationship proves that love can last, no matter the age difference. They have shown that true companionship and romance are more important than what others think.
