Me? Marry my step-grandbaby? Why not?

There are reports, of questionable veracity, that 72 year old Morgan Freeman is set to marry his 27 year old step-granddaughter E'Dena Hines after a 10 year relationship. Hines is the granddaughter of Freeman's first wife. I'm not going to say whether this is true or not but, rather, I want to deal with the larger topic. Is it socially acceptable for members of a blended family that are not blood-related to have a romantic relationship?

omgoodness, no way. I love Morgan Freeman, I loved him in The Bucket List!!!

It is not morally acceptable for him to marry his ex-wife's grand-daughter!?

But I LOVED and agree with your statement below alkimija!

I'm sorry, it may be somewhat accepted when it involves non-blood relatives, it may be legal, but it is most certainly frowned-upon.

The man should've had more sense than to get involved with a 27 y/o woman (who should've had enough good sense herself to stick to guys her own age and enough good breeding in her to know that you do not date within the family pool--regardless of how un-related everyone may be by blood).

Or perhaps she's not as good a catch without Freeman's money, because once he hits the bucket--"Bucket List" be damned, she's going to be one hell of an attractive woman (and that's regardless of whether her new suitors say: "Honey, put this paperbag over your head!"

She's sad and pathetic, and he's just a pathetic, old horndog. Both disgust me.

Wow. I don't know if its acceptable. Its weird trying to even think about it. Maybe the fact she is practically 30 years age difference....... hrm. Hope he has a pre-nump.

It's beyond the pale. I keep hoping mankind has evolved beyond this kind of el sicko crap. I keep getting disappointed.

I wish old men who can't accept the fact that they're old men would would die before they turn into a dirty old man who looks into the mirror and sees, not an old man but Brad Pitt -- or in this case Will Smith. No matter how convincing she is, she's gritting her teeth and closing her eyes in order to endure their sex life. What an old fool.

I wish young women who think trading marriage with someone in their own generation, and all the potential for happiness that has for them, for the 4 carat engagement ring and the platinum AmEx card would think a little bit harder about that decision -- which is every bit as morally putrid as the one the old man makes to marry his granddaughter, step- or not. Ugh.

I can't begin to say how disappointed I am to find out Morgan Freeman is nothing but a black Woody Allen. I guess it's none of my business. But it's depressing as hell nonetheless.

Maybe it's human nature Scott. Or maybe it's just garden variety denial!

My mother once told me that when men look in the mirror, no matter how old they get, they always see some young stud. Women look in the mirror and tend to find fault with their appearance, even when they're young and perfect -- and they're both wrong.

How does it go -- "Oh would some power the gift to give us, to see ourselves as others see us." Or something like that.

Socially acceptable? No, unless you live in the back, back, back country. Banjo country.

Morally acceptable? No (see above).

Legally acceptable? Yes, apparently. But just because something is legal, doesn't mean it should be done.

Just another actor whom I'll stop paying to watch now that I've become aware of what sort of a person he is. I don't want to support this guy nor his life choices, and I think I'll be taking my entertainment dollars elsewhere.

EP:

It seems to be very popular around the Internet but not in the mainstream press, yet. I'd like to see Freeman deny it if it's not true. The reason I put any stock in it is that sometimes these rag magazines are right, like they scooped the mainstream media on the John Edwards story.

Regardless of whether it's true though, it raised the question of how taboo it was for someone to marry a non-blood relative.

I'm not sure that it's a valid question, since "acceptable" suggests that the public has some voice in the decision-making process.

Is it moral, ethical, justifiable, or appropriate? Certainly not. But unless some law has been broken, we will have to accept it and live with it. Boycott his films if you wish, but that's about as far as it should go.

Aside from the fact that the story is "of questionable veracity," I note the unusual voting results given the question as written. Is it ok for NONBLOOD RELATIVES to marry? Well, let's suppose I marry a woman, who dies. Is it acceptable for me to marry her sister? Like, DUHHH! The only thing that is leading people astray here is that they have in mind a marriage to a stepgranddaughter--bringing up images that are somehow incestuous. Even though if you sit and think about it, it is an ex-wife's stepgranddaughter, i.e., the child of her child's spouse, and therefore of no possible relationship by blood to Morgan. Its the age thing most of all.

Thank you, mdnorcuss, for bringing some rationality to the conversation. Even assuming the Morgan Freeman story is true -- which is doubtful, considering the sources and the fact that Morgan's rep has denied that any wedding will occur -- whatever. It's not incest, not even close. It's a wide age gap, it's occurred before. She's 27 years old, very much old enough to make her own decisions about whom to marry.

It's the age thing that bothers people. And unless I'm very much confused, this poll isn't asking about "kissing cousins," or anything like that, or even specifically about whether it's okay for Morgan Freeman to get hitched to his ex-step-granddaughter who is 45 years younger than him. Although, that's clouded considerable because the poll is different than the heading of the article. But about "relatives" whom you are NOT related by blood, such as in-law relations, and step-relations.

I think the age difference is the only thing that bothers me. I am more comfortable with the 5 to 10 year difference. There's 25 years between Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones, and it seems ok to me now.

It's legal and like most marriages it will last as long as each are getting what they want out of it. I hope they are happy.

What marriage is ex-wife's step-granddaughter from anyway? These guys go through women like hot cakes. If he lives for a few more years he'll be on to another step family member, or other type 20 year old.

I love his acting ability this has no relationship to that. If you start judging these old men on that there will be no movie left to go to.

I see this as an old rich man wanting to marry a young woman that isn't by related to him by blood. I see no harm here. If I were in his postion and had a good relationship with her for a decade then I would surely marry her also. Let society frown, but once a bigger story occurs which shouldn't take long no one will care wheather or not Morgan Freeman is married to his step-granddaughter or some one else.

People have waaaaaaaaaaaaay too many hang-ups me thinks. They are consenting adults so who cares.

They aren't related, she wants to marry him, he wants to marry her. Why the big deal?

Was there this much concern when Tony Randall married a woman 50 years his junior?

If they are both adults and enter into that bond freely, it is none of our business.

I will say eewww! I have a stepson, I consider him my son. My son's have a stepsister, they consider her their sister. I think that most normal families, whether blended or not, that have traditional family bond would find the eeeww in this story on multiple levels. But legally they are free to do what ever they want.
