And even so, there's always the line in Friends where Ross is dating one of his students. Her dad (bruce Willis) turns up says to Ross 'whats the matter, couldn't you get a girlfriend your own age?
Nice quote from Friends. Very appropriate.
As for motives -- too many to list and I think everybody knows them, especially the ones about wanting to feel young again, not wanting to grow up/be old, etc.
I'd like to add another -- a woman more his age would be more apt to call him out on his behavior and not take his bullshit, unlike a woman just out of her teens.
As for her motives, I still see it as a career move (backing vocals, song/album collaborations, his name will open doors previously closed) and the phrasing that she now has a baby makes me think of possessions and getting something that will love her. Most people get a dog, not a baby.
