Anna Camp, 42, defended her romance with her girlfriend Jade Whipkey, 24, from the criticism of their 18-year age gap.<\/p>\n

Instagram\/@jadewhipkey<\/p>\n \u201cWe have more in common than anyone else I\u2019ve ever dated and can literally talk about anything and everything,\u201d the \u201cPitch Perfect\u201d star continued. <\/p>\n Camp added: \u201cEveryone is entitled to their opinion and I\u2019m wishing everyone well especially this pride month.\u201d<\/p>\n Anna Camp defends her relationship with her girlfriend on Instagram.<\/p>\n Since soft-launching her relationship<\/a> with Whipskey on social media last month, Camp has been facing backlash for dating someone nearly 20 years younger than her. <\/p>\n \u201cI can\u2019t imagine having the necessary common ground to start a relationship with a 20 year old. What could they possibly have in common?\u201d one fan wrote on the same Instagram post that Camp commented on.<\/p>\n \u201cIf a 42 year old is with a 24 year old, it\u2019s about power or control, even on a subconscious level,\u201d another fan said. <\/p>\n Anna Camp with her new girlfriend Jade Whipkey.
