On the reverse age difference between the late Charlie Kirk and Erika Kirk

Given his premeditated, cold blooded and long distance assassination of Charlie Kirk with a rifle and a scope this age difference should not matter anymore.

However it is curious that the late Charlie Kirk (age 31) married Erika (current age 36) in 2021. How often do these reverse age gaps (specifically 5 years or more) occur among opposite-sex American couples? According to Google search: "In 2022, about 10% of opposite-sex marriages in the U.S. had a wife who was three or more years older than her husband. ... specific age difference of 4–5 years older for the wife represents about 3.4% of all married couples."

At least the age difference is not as large as the one between French President Emmanuel Macron (age 47) and his wife Brigitte (current age 72), i.e. the age gap is 25 years.

P.S. I do not mean to imply anything by noting this age gap. Age is just a number or is it? What matters is were they happy together. Erika Kirk's age just happened to catch my attention.
