Actor Anna Camp is speaking out against critics of her new relationship with stylist Jade Whipkey, who is 18 years her junior.
The LGBTQ+ news outlet Pink News shared footage of Camp, 42, and Whipkey, 24, walking the red carpet at the Los Angeles premiere of Camp’s new movie, “Bride Hard,” on Instagram last week. After users shared less-than-positive takes on the age gap between the two women, Camp issued a concise albeit strongly worded response in the comments.
“Thought I’d jump on here since I follow Pink News and just say I’ve dated men exactly my age and Jade is FAR more mature than any of them,” the “Pitch Perfect” and “You” actor wrote. “We have more in common than anyone else I’ve ever dated and can literally talk about anything and everything.”
She went on to note: “Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I’m wishing everyone well 🙂 Especially this Pride month.”

Camp split from her “Pitch Perfect” co-star Skylar Astin in 2019 after about three years of marriage. She was also previously married to “Scrubs” actor Michael Mosley from 2010 to 2013.
Though it’s unclear when Camp and Whipkey started dating, the pair were seen together in a TikTok video in February, speaking to a content creator about their worst dating experiences. Asked about her expectations with men, Camp quipped, “Well, I don’t expect anything anymore because I like women, and it’s great.”
In a second video from the same interview, Camp shrugged off the social expectation that “in order to be happy, you have to be married to a guy, with children, at like 30 or something.”
“That’s a conspiracy. That’s not true,” she said. “I grew up in the South, and people told me that I basically had to do that.”
“Bride Hard,” which opened in theaters last week, marks an on-screen reunion between Camp and another “Pitch Perfect” co-star, Rebel Wilson. In 2022, Wilson revealed that she was in a same-sex relationship with fashion designer Ramona Agruma. The two women tied the knot in September of last year.
