He said he doesn\u2019t worry about their 48-year age difference: “As long as she’s happy and I’m happy, we take it one day at a time, and we’ll move ahead, obviously, and who knows what the future holds, but nobody knows what the future holds anyway. So I’m just out there on the edge, dancing.”<\/p>\n
