Yes, 58-year-old Steven Bauer is still dating a teenage Tea Party activist

wenn22881406

Last year, we learned that then-57-year-old Steven Bauer had gotten involved with a then-18-year-old “Tea Party Youth Activist” named Lyda Loudon. She’s the daughter of a Missouri Republican state senator and she’s got some kind of profile in the Tea Party, I guess. She’s also a decade younger than Bauer’s son Alexander.

Well, just in case you were idly wondering “Hey, is Steven Bauer still dating a teenager?” the answer is YES. He’s still dating her. I think they’ve been together about a year and a half. Lyda and Steven were in New York this week and they got pap’d several times outside of their Manhattan hotel. I do not know if they were in town for New York Fashion Week or what. All I know is that most people would probably assume that a kindly older man is showing his daughter or granddaughter around New York for the first time.

Right now, Bauer is 58 years old. He’ll be 59 in December. I’m assuming Lyda is currently 19 years old. So… a 40 year age difference, basically.

    NASTY on a myriad of different levels.

    • susie says:

      I think she’s dead… her “look” looks dead….and somehow, someone reanimated her? It’s that something that we do?…hmmm

    • Falula says:

      Yes, nasty! I needed to google him to see the difference from breaking bad to now bc he looks so different, and turns oh the was married to Melanie Griffith for 5 years in the 80’s. A DECADE BEFORE THIS TEENAGER WAS BORN.

    • Pandy says:

      Thinly disguised pedophile. Seriously, did he take her to prom? Gramps and the grandkid.

    • Trashaddict says:

      Stepford wife face.

  2. byland says:

    Ugh. Just . . . ugh.

    • mimif says:

      Having trouble computing “Tea Party activist” + teenager in the same sentence (the other details are clearly ugh).

      • paola says:

        What the hell is a Tea party Activist??

      • Birdix says:

        Her prefrontal cortex is still developing. He has no excuse.

      • Esmom says:

        They are around, in my parts. There’s a small but highly vocal base of Tea Partiers in our local govt and they trot out their kids every chance they get, I’m sure as proof of their alleged relevance.

        Whether these teens are true activists because they believe what their parents believe or if they’re just toeing the party line for now is anyone’s guess. They were a big hit at the appearance Rand Paul made at a local warehouse. 🙂

      • QQ says:

        Well Paola… a Young Racist? That Acts Like Ayn Rand is really profound doctrine? and Pew Pew Pew GUNS all The Guns

        Back Me up if I missed something?

        also: This is repulsive, where are her Parents? where are the authorities? why are those Dentures?

      • Esmom says:

        QQ, I think you pretty much covered it, thank you, except for maybe Planned Parenthood is evil?

      • paola says:

        Seems very creepy to me.
        Clearly she has no developed her brain fully. I can’t explain the jeans and those hooves otherwise.

      • Heather says:

        Her father is in politics, so she’s likely been pushed into it. Nothing like dating a hollywood pedophile to troll your parents and rebel against a strict upbringing, though.

      • BooBooLaRue says:

        oh my, I agree what is a Tea Party Activist teenager?

      • byland says:

        @Esmom Yeah, well Rand Paul has a problem lurking around his uncle and aunt that is not going to be good for him. It upsets me because, while I dislike Rand (and Ron) Paul, his uncle is a very nice man and it will help out the other candidates who I also dislike. Catch-22, really.

      • Mary says:

        Tea party– also against birth control and very much against ALL abortions? Pregnant girls have babies, but the tea party is also against any benefits like food assistance, daycare assistance, medical assistance, etc.

        I think they were originally only fiscally conservative?

    • FLORC says:

      Perfect comment.

      • byland says:

        I just can’t be botherd to delve too deeply into this. If I did the disgust and righteous indignation would build up to unbearable levels inside of me and my blood pressure can’t take it. Ridiculous age gap and crazy political propoganda all rolled into one? No, thank you. It just screams “pay attention to me!” to me.

  3. Loulou says:

    EW. That is all.

  4. Matador says:

    Gross.

  5. Esteph says:

    This is not going to be nice, but oh well…girl has got a serious resting bitch face

    Him? He’s all too happy that he’s snagged a young lady to show off

  6. Gabrielle says:

    Why is her outfit so 2005?

  7. ABBESS TANSY (TEE JAY) says:

    This is so skeevy and wrong on so many levels, I feel a little sick just reading about this.

  8. Joaneu says:

    Steven has a sort of Peter Falk crazed look going on. As for his girlfriend … interesting crushed velvet stiletto heels. She is obviously upping Shauna Sand and Courteney Stodden with the stripper footwear.

  9. Skyblue says:

    The first picture cracks me up! From her pouty blue steel gaze all the way down to the blue velvet stripper heels. And then over to him and his tousled “devil may care” hair. Yuck, yuck, yuck! All of it is yucky!

  10. Arock says:

    A conservative Missouri state senators daughter? That makes me chuckle.
    Those pics- he’s just so excited to be papped.

  11. aims says:

    Disgusting on many levels. I heard someone say awhile ago. That the reason men date younger women is because they can’t handle women their own age. Younger women don’t expect them to behave or challenge them the way they should. It’s an interesting theory.

    • Palapa says:

      nah, I think they just like a young hot body attached to someone stupid enough to let them touch it. Men like this surely must have made the decision that they’d rather have a young piece of tail than to have someone who will love them enough not to pull the plug on their asses the first chance they get.

    • Heather says:

      Yes, that’s the exact same reason why I date younger men 🙂

  12. Brendan says:

    She looks so entirely pedestrian. There are lots of gross things about this, but I’m most offended by her attempt at “fierceness” for the camera while wearing that 2007-ass ensemble during NYFW.

    It reinforces she is a CHILD. This is gross.

    • SnarkySnarkers says:

      Bahahhaha! YES!!!! Those blue suede platforms? That entry level plasticky looking LV bag? The Charlotte Russe jeans? OMG!!!! Sorry to all LV lovers but they always look so damn cheap to me.

  13. Mar says:

    This is extra creepy and her shoes are not helping.

  14. Applapoom says:

    This is not going to be a popular opinion but he seems to have aged quite well.

    However, it is still nasty to date someone who can be your gramps, no matter how young he looks.

    • Wren33 says:

      Yeah, he looks ridiculous, but he looks good for 57. I don’t normally say “daddy issues” whenever there is an age difference, but at 18 with a 40 year difference it either screams daddy issues or rebellion gone bad. They are both loving the attention though.

    • chaine says:

      He does look good for his age. I mean, he still looks like her dad, but it’s not as gross visually as when Lara Flynn Boyle was with Jack Nicholson, or when teenybopper SoonYi snagged Woody Allen.

  15. Veronica says:

    Repulsive. Her parents should be ashamed for standing by and allowing that to go on.

  16. Jayna says:

    There are no words.

  17. jamie says:

    When I was 19 I would have hit that. No shame. I’m 25 now with a 47 year old and very happy.

    I have no daddy issues and no rebellion issues. I just love older men, always have.

    No excuse for the tea party thing though.

    • Ann says:

      Sweetie, don’t waste your youth on old men. A complete and utter waste of time.

      • Olenna says:

        Amen.

      • chaine says:

        Give him another 10-15 years. You’ll still be in your prime, and you’ll be spending it carting him to and from the doctor for his heart and his prostate and his bad knees, and in between doctor visits listening to him let out old-man farts while he sits in his LaZBoy watching the Weather Channel.

      • Pondering thoughts says:

        @ chaine

        Exactly.
        One might be happy for 10 or 15 years but after that one has to play nurse or leave him.

        Also it is not fair for such old man to produce children. If Steven Bauer fathered a child right now then he would be 78 when his child graduated from college. And no, very old parents can not give as much to their young children as younger parents can.
        And it is unfair to the child as it won’t have a parent in his twenties and his early thirties and many still need their parent in that time.

      • pinetree13 says:

        Exactly. And to add to the children comments…after the age of 40 a man’s ability to produce healthy sperm takes a nose dive. There is very interesting new research being done that show that older men’s sperm is associated with an increase in miscarriages, and a greater risk for autism, and other issues. It’s finely coming to light that age affects men reproductively too, not quite as much as women, but much more so than previously believed.

    • Bishg says:

      Jamie, I would have hit that too. No shame. He looks hot and I remember when I watched Scarface for the first time, I remained speechless at his gorgeousness.
      (But, I would also have probably ended up feeling depressed and lonely because in this scenario, I would have developed I huge crush on him and quickly stopped enjoying the “No-strings attached” sex, while he would have fu**ed me and then left me like garbage. Well, kind of the same as what happened with boys my age :P)

      • Bishg says:

        (Let me just add to clarify: even if I would have hit that, I would also have been dead ashamed to be seen in public with him!)

    • Veronica says:

      A 19 year old wanting to sleep with an older partner is fine. It’s the significantly older partner who is being unethical by taking advantage of it.

  18. ashley says:

    Everytime when i watch ray donovan and he’s on the screen,i cringe. Just..ugh!

    • Redd says:

      Really? I love Avi! He’s so much better than Ray or those other annoying people. Avi should have his own show, where he does rich people’s dirty work during the day, and then goes home and watches TV with his mom at night. I would watch that.

  19. Eve says:

    Well…better her than me.

  20. The Eternal Side-Eye says:

    Why are some men SO disgusting? Just smh…

    Also I understand girlfriend is suuuuppper excited to be photographed at like New York with her super famous and rich boyfriend but could she tone down that smoldering stare and cross legged pose. The degree of thirst she has is only making the situation that much more tragic.

    • Catherine says:

      Because they can I guess. I have no interest in dating a 19 yr old (I’m 35), but some older men get a kick out of it, I mean what do they talk about? I’ve noticed as soon as they hit their late 30’s some men are only interested in younger women not their own age.

  21. Bishg says:

    This girl (and her family) must be really disturbed.
    I actually feel sorry for her. She might enjoy the attention and the “status” he’s been granting her, but if she willingly accepts and enjoy such relationship, there must be something wrong going on.
    And there’s no way in hell ANYBODY in ANY place / room / event they’ve been to have not mistaken her for Bauer’s teenage daughter. Or granddaughter.

  22. Heather says:

    Who the heck is he?

  23. MSat says:

    Hasn’t he always had a thing for much younger women? I think he was with Melanie Griffith when she was still super-young too, wasn’t he? Like, before she got with Don Johnson?

    • BlueNailsBetty says:

      Melanie is a year older than Steven.

      • Lucrezia says:

        LMAO! I’m now picturing MSat as believing Bauer is an immortal/vampire who’s always been 58 … and being utterly confused by your suggestion he is also susceptible to the aging process.

        I know it’s probably totally inaccurate, but the idea made me laugh.

      • tracking says:

        Yeah, I think it was Don Johnson who got the side-eye for being involved with a very young Melanie.

  24. Pondering thoughts says:

    I am disgusted. He is stealing years from her in which she should explore life and relationships with people from her own age range.

    I think her outfit is ridiculous. She pretends to be sporty conservative wife from the countryside but with designer bag. Girl, it doesn’t work because you are too young.

    • Wonderbunny says:

      While I’m not in total disagreement about the icky factor, I don’t agree with the idea that she should explore life and relationships with people from her own age range. If she wants to experiment and explore life, she’ll definitely get more of that with an older man. It’s also not like she’s in her final baby making years. She can have her exploration now and then move on to something more reasonable if she so desires.

  25. Cinderella says:

    He looks better than most 58 year-old men I’ve seen, but that doesn’t make it any less gross.

  26. Ana A. says:

    They really look like father and daughter which makes it even more creepy. She looks so childlike and young. I have no problem with younger girls who like older men, I have a problem with the older men who think it is okay to indulge in that. He missed being charged as a pedophile by a few months that’s so damn disgusting. Some men are gross.

  27. antipodean says:

    Those shoes are simply a travesty, they would only look good on Mr Tumnus at a stripper’s function in Narnia.

  28. JenniferJustice says:

    Wow that last picture of him = the eyes and set of his jaw reminds me so much of Jeff Goldblum….freaking me out! Both liking their ladies considerably young – just creepy.

  29. Betsy says:

    1. Who? I’ll go google, but who?
    2. GROSS. This is just gross.
    3. I do not think her choosing to be one half of an age-inappropriate couple says what she thinks it does about her maturity or the validity of her political beliefs. (He’s the other half, but I don’t know his political beliefs, and that’s one of the issues that has my goat here. He’s just an old goat.)

  30. alihar999 says:

    ewwww….just ewwwww

  31. Illyra says:

    I love him on Ray Donovan.

  32. JRenee says:

    She does have resting bitch face. She really has a smug look and I’m thinking the age difference is really creepy. He doesn’t look 58/59 , but this is still super creepy.

  33. Lucky Charm says:

    Is this another Courtney Stodden/Doug Hutchison situation? She doesn’t look like she’d be any fun to be around, no matter how old you are, though.

  34. aurelia says:

    That little girl looks like one of those mail order Russian prostitutes.

  35. 5minutes says:

    Having recently graduated college, there is a never ending line of 18-19 yr old girls lining up for whichever ‘big’ name is on campus that week (celebrities, politicians, artists). The guests are invariably 30-60+ years older – and guess who has the power in that dynamic /s.
    I’m on board with the disgusting aspect of this but, assuming they’re not cheating on one another (reality?), this might actually be less risky than other relationship approaches.

  36. lile says:

    Disturbing on SO MANY levels. Courtney Stodden 2.0

    I loved _Band of the Hand._ That is all.
