A May-December (24-year-old, 52-year-old) romance? Why yes, and December is in heels this time, at least in the case of former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member Adrienne Maloof. Maloof’s new beau is Jacob Busch (of the Anheuser-Busch family). She departed the Housewives reality series after closing the third season in March.

Extra grabbed a few quotes from Maloof about Busch. “He’s a lovely person. Both of our families have been in the spirits business for a long time, so he seems very familiar to me and comfortable. He’s a cool guy,” Maloof (pictured at home, prepping for the trip) said while in New York City late this week for publicity around her vodka line, Zing.

Maloof and Busch were first spotted on 1 October at the Star Magazine, Scene Stealers event at Hollywood’s Roosevelt Hotel, and the PDAs may indeed have stolen the scene. By all accounts, the couple is very happy and enamored of each other. Call it coincidence or impeccable planning, Maloof posted this quote of the day on her Facebook the very same day:

In earlier ventures into younger waters, Maloof dated Sean Stewart, the 32-year-old son of famed rocker Rod Stewart (68-years-young)—I’ll let the fans do the comparison about which Stewart is closer in age to Maloof. The couple split last March, after two months together. Following that, she knocked down a couple years to briefly date 30-year-old Andy Hnilo, owner of a skincare line, actor, model, athlete, cougar fan.

It was just this August that Maloof and former husband of 10 years, Dr. Paul Nassif, finalized agreements on how they would move forward parenting the three sons they have in common, 10-year-old Gavin and 7-year-old twins Colin and Christian. The divorce, filed in November 2012, was the climax of three months of litigious histrionics, including abuse accusations and restraining orders.
