Everything to Know About Paris Dylan, 73-Year-Old Don McLean's 24-Year-Old Girlfriend
Don McLean and Paris Dylan are raising eyebrows with their May-December romance.
The model, 24, first posted a photo with the 73-year-old “American Pie” singer on social media right in time for Thanksgiving in November 2016. The pair was then linked in March of this year when they were spotted in the U.K. together and recently confirmed the romance on social media.
Here is everything you need to know about the woman who called McLean “my baby, my beauty, love of my life, my everything.”
She appeared on Catfish.
Dylan appeared in a 2017 episode of MTV’s Catfish about a 2011 incident in which 17-year-old Dylan (then known as Paris Roxanne or Paris Dunn) began an online relationship with 33-year-old basketball player Chris “Birdman” Andersen and exchanged nude pictures, The Blast reported.
