12 Things You Didn't Know About Paul Walker

8. His Girlfriend Was 17 Years Younger Than Him

Rather smartly, Paul tended to keep his romances out of the limelight and didn't make a habit of dating a fleet of Hollywood actresses. At the time of his death, his partner was girlfriend of 7 years Jasmine Pilchard-Gosnell, who was in fact 17 years younger than the actor and just 16 years of age when they got together in 2006. Though tabloid newspapers couldn't help but rake some muck about the young age of his girlfriend, thankfully most outlets were respectful, in large part thanks to the actor keeping mostly hush on his private relationships and not inviting undue attention. Adding to the heartbreak is that, despite being only 8 years older than Walker's daughter Meadow, Jasmine had begun to take on stepmother-like duties to her. Since her partner's death, she has understandably maintained a low profile.
