Viral Tweet Brings Attention to Jerry Seinfeld’s Relationship with 17-Year-Old at 38

Jerry Seinfeld, the renowned actor and comedian, has been reminded of his past relationship with a teenager through a tweet that has garnered over 18 million views.

Seinfeld, now 69 years old, is best known for his role in the American sitcom Seinfeld, which he co-created and wrote with Larry David and aired from 1989 to 1998.

During the early 1990s, it was revealed that Seinfeld had dated a 17-year-old girl.

The matter was recently brought to attention by a former classmate who responded to a tweet asking about celebrity interactions during high school.

Their response stated that when they were in high school, Seinfeld, who was 38 at the time, dated a girl in their year.

He even picked her up from class, allowing her to skip a calculus exam.

The tweet included a black and white photo of Seinfeld and the girl, taken from a magazine.

Alongside the image, Seinfeld was quoted saying, “I don't think about the age issue, she doesn't, my friends don't.”

Twitter users were shocked by this revelation, expressing their surprise at how such relationships were prevalent until recently.

Some stated that they were grossed out by Seinfeld's actions and that their perception of him had changed.

The girl Seinfeld dated was named Shoshanna Lonstein.

Initially, they claimed to be just friends, but it later came to light that they were romantically involved.

They first met in 1993 in Central Park, where Seinfeld noticed Lonstein sitting on a bench.

They hit it off and exchanged numbers.

Seinfeld and Lonstein dated for four years until she turned 21.

However, Seinfeld has maintained that their relationship didn't become romantic until she reached the age of 18.

In previous interviews, Seinfeld appeared confused and unsettled when questioned about the relationship.

He denied that the girl was 17 and later seemed to contradict himself, stating that he didn't realize she was so young and that they only went to a restaurant together.

Seinfeld defended his romance with Lonstein, emphasizing that he valued her as a person rather than focusing on her age.

He described her as intelligent, funny, and sharp.

After their separation, Seinfeld revealed that he and Lonstein were very much in love but that the timing wasn't right.

Lonstein enrolled in college at the time.

Seinfeld is now married to Jessica Seinfeld, whom he met at a sports club in 1998.

They have been married since 1999 and have three children together.

The tweet highlighting Seinfeld's past relationship has sparked conversation and brought attention to the issue of age disparities in relationships.

It serves as a reminder of the societal changes that have occurred regarding such relationships and sheds light on the experiences of those involved.
